Customs freezing after every match is unacceptable

Games Halo 5: Guardians

I am an avid custom games player in Halo 5. I love playing and making forge maps all the time. The customs browser is honestly the best thing to happen to this game - the ability to gain a huge number of players so easily is amazing for custom games and the overall community.

The problem is, if you’re a custom games host, your game will freeze after almost every game. Some of these freezes are temporary and only last about a minute, but most require restarting the game all together. This is incredibly saddening because some lobbies that have a lot of momentum and fun maps being played die off completely when the host has to leave and restart their game.

I’ve seen some discussion about this from over 6 months ago, with people commenting that 343 will address it in future updates but the freezes still occur after almost every single match. It’s making a great customs scene fade into obscurity for me and my friend group who want to play Halo 5 less and less because of this issue. I hope 343 addresses this problem and fixes the freezing!

This will fall on deaf ears here, unfortunately. This post topic pops up a half dozen times a day across all of the Halo 5 forums here. There’s no response from the team here either, and these waypoint players (for the most part) are familiar with the issue.

Yeah this probably won’t be fixed for a bit. We have to give them some slack cuz they have a very small team still working on Halo 5. After the new HCS maps are finished this should be top priority imo

It is sad to see how halo fans are leaving the game just because the servers are trash, im a warzone player and even there is a real problem with lag and game disconnection. 343 is forgetting us and letting halo die, and didnt want to accept it but is happening. I just hope somebody come to save halo.
