Especially in action sack. All my friends and I kept getting flipped and stuff in the race because it would lag so bad and just jump us to some random place and flip us or onto a land mine. I love the new update but I hope they work out the lag soon so we can properly enjoy the new game types.
I get framerate issues on some of the new maps.
Lag hasn’t much of an issue for me outside of the occasions when my laptop or my brother’s laptop decides to try to update World of Warships/Tanks and eats all of the bandwidth.
Not any more than before. Basically lag here and there in all the playlists, and I’m playing Focused on the East coast of US.

I had some frame-rate issues with the new maps initially as well. I cleared the cache on my console and it seemed to help.
I have noticed many instances of the frame rate chugging. Not exactly a fantastic thing for a game when the developers put so much into boasting that the game runs at 60fps.

I honestly think this has nothing to do with Halo 5… but probably has more to do with your console itself. As I commented above, once I cleared the cache on my system the new update ran great; although my sample size is not very big. Try clearing your cache to see if that helps you like it did me.
I think the search preferences are all sqaushed into one. Expanded people are playing with people on focused.
So I noticed when you slide quickly you fall into the ground. It’s such a weird bug, it doesn’t happen in ranked Arena, but in Skirmish and Warzone assault I was looking at a frame grab of the ground when I quick slide.
What I mean by quick slide is that I wasn’t in a full sprint yet, like I would sprint for half a second or 1 sec then slide. It would do this weird glitch where I couldn’t see anything but the ground for a second, it happened everywhere on the 4 maps I played. Finally I went to Arena and this did not happen. I think it might be that 343 set up their best servers for the Comp playlists, which I understand the need to do. But seriously this is a huge deal, and I hope 343 sees this and possibly fixes it, becasue it was driving me nuts, I want to be able to enjoy non comp halo from time to time.
Other than that the other weird bug I have been getting was MY team and the OPPONENT’S team and their individual emblems not showing up at the end game screen or pre game screen in Arena. This isn’t as bad as the slide thing, but it is very annoying.
All in all I came back from a 3-4 month break from Halo and man did 343 do an amazing job with this game!! The new update and the UI looks great, having so many playlists to choose from is INSANE. Also I hope halo 6 gets it right off the bat and does this with many playlists, WE WANT/NEED HALO TO REIGN SUPREME AGAIN!
I’ve actually started noticing lag a lot more lately since the update.
I’m in the US in Utah, I’ve always got good internet.
Not sure what it is.
