Currently I have 2 videos uploaded to my file share showing how horrid the connection quality is on this game.Everything from immense glitching to players teleporting all over the place and bullet sponges like no ones business. The second one was so bad the game couldn’t recover. I have a good internet pkg 30 Mbps down and 2 Mbps up. It is wired connection and my Nat type is open. There is just no excuse for this crap in 2012(well 2013 now). How in the name of god did halo reach get it perfect as far as connection and these morons cannot…

Suggested fixes:

  1. Fix your -Yoinking!- net code you dimwitted morons.
  2. Allow me as a player to filter connection quality (good connection search)
  3. keep all the players in 1 match in the same geographic region.
  4. Actually pick the best host for the match.

don’t get me wrong I have plenty of other complaints but they aren’t as game breaking as this. Secondly if anyone is a fanboy and wants to try and defend the game. I don’t give a -Yoink- what you have to say and I understand you like it (and I DID at one point) but the simple fact is the game is broken and needs to be fixed. NOW!!!

I shot Turrets in dominion with Splasers and they take no damage…bullet sponges alright

They’re working on it.

Also, insulting the people you want help from isn’t a good way to go about getting what you want.

Oh, and being put into a game and lagging immediately only to spend the WHOLE game in maybe… five obscenely long Host reset screens could go.

And I’d love to know what’s up with being put into black screen randomly when you’re talking to your party members and know that they’re still playing. This one happens when you’re having a perfectly good game.

I agree, OP. Lots of issues like this and they’re absolutely devastating.

Along with everything else that’s missing or broken from release day, right?

Its not a matter of getting what I want. Its a matter of the game I paid hard earned money for being worth my time, Money, adoration (being a halo game)

I don’t know about you guys but they insult me when they claim to have a masterpiece with the horrid quality on this product. So yes in my opinion they deserve to be cussed out to they’re face.

Population drop after Christmas and bad lag is back, is the problem of 2p2 host system.
One thing more 343i, im waiting rank list, i can eat this garbage network in social games BUT NOT in ranks or i leave the game.

You are one of the fanboy morons that only serves to slow down productivity when trying to speak out about a problem. Move along chief no one wants your fanboy spew here.

([REDACTED] that is)

I hope we see at least a communication about upcoming fixes, give us something to let us know what to expect in the future.

AMEN BROTHER!!!

You will be missed. Or something. I hope they wait until the end of the month for the CSR now.

The population is still up about 18% pre-christmas. According to the CSR-fanboys, we can expect population numnbers to double once that is put in place, so you have that to look forward to as well.

No one has really complained about the net code, most of the time when this happens in games it is not the game’s fault but yours. You mostly likely have crappy internet.

Forgive me if I’ve left anything out…

[Bizarre Sticky Behavior]
> “Possessed Stickies:” Possessed stickies are stickies that have landed and then somehow disappear and reappear attached to the nearest enemy player within a range of multiple meters.

> “Homing Stickies:” Homing stickies are stickies that drastically change flightpath either while airborne or after bouncing off of a hard surface in such a way that they literally appear to be “seeking” a nearby player.

> “Dud Stickies:” Dud Stickies are stickies that for whatever reason stick their target but deal no damage to said target.

> “Phantom Stickies:” Phantom Stickies are stickies that pass through an object, vehicle, or other player.

> “Poof Stickies:” Poof Stickies are stickies thrown that ultimately disappear upon impact. This seems to be the rarest occurrence of sticky craziness.

[Bizarre Gun/Melee Behavior]
> Supercombines from the Needler do not always kill, or even inflict damage on occasion.

> DMR body shots count as headshots (and vice versa) at range.

> Boltshot and Scattershot are often inconsistent regardless of range.

> Most weapons seem to have instances where they’re able to bleed through various forms of cover, particularly close to object edge boundaries.

> Splaser and Railgun do not always kill in one direct shot.

> Simultaneous melee often results in the death of only one player, even where both are without shields.

[Bizarre Vehicle Behavior]
> Vehicles can splatter without acceleration.

> Vehicles can splatter without making contact.

> Vehicles do not always receive damage (unsure whether this is a vehicle or driver issue).

[Bizarre Spawn Behavior]
> Players often spawn behind opposing players, sometimes in clusters. This is particularly prevalent in a couple of BTB maps.

> Sometimes insta-spawn button will not function.

> Sometimes spawning gives a player a loadout other than the one they’ve chosen.

> Sometimes players spawn without the ability to use sprint or their AA.

> When spawn-killed, a player has an oddly high chance of respawning at more or less the same place they were just killed, multiple times.

[Bizarre Player Behavior]
> Most games there is at least 1 or more players on the opposing team who either do not receive damage at all from melee or projectiles, or cease receiving damage after their shields bust.

[Bizarre Matchmaking Behavior]
> Matches are started too frequently when there is a disparity of players, increasing one team’s initial likeliness to win.

> Matches too often are set with a glaring disparity of team skill. One team will be overwhelmingly positive or experienced compared to another team.

> There is no option for – nor apparently adequate netcode for – matching folks of similar connection and/or location. Constantly being thrown into these “bad matches” increases the frequency with which a person will experience any number of other game-related issues mentioned in this post.

[Bizarre Connection Behavior]
> Map warping.

> Time warping (having just your movement reset a couple of seconds backwards in time).

> Repeated blackscreen deaths.

> Sometimes in the middle of a match the match will just stop, everyone is kicked, and are either fed into a new lobby or randomly into a JiP game without warning.

> No one has really complained about the net code, most of the time when this happens in games it is not the game’s fault but yours. You mostly likely have crappy internet.

Or I get put into a game with people from the other side of the world, region filters would really help the lag issues.

> I hope we see at least a communication about upcoming fixes, give us something to let us know what to expect in the future.

Check out the weekly bulletin probably posted Wednesday or Thursday.

Most of that is due to lag and not the game itself, if there is a problem 343i will fix it.

I havent a great net i know it (10mb) but i can play Reach BF3 FM4 GOW Trials and more games without big problems. Need a NASA net for play H4?
I have over 1000 games in War Games and in this game anything work wrong.
But is only my opinion, im a gamer not a net expert.

Never. Not once have they ever remotely claimed this.

this is my only real -Yoink!- with the game - not sure if it’s my connection or XBL - but considering the wife is rocketing along on the lapper - i’m guessing XBL

& it does seem to be worse than in Reach or H3 (all i’ve played online in the halo series - well… halowars)
