Desync makes this game unplayable

My internet connection is solid, but desync makes what should be an incredible game virtually unplayable. Unbelievable that they still have this issue.

My worst nemesis in this game is hit detection, almost every game, one moment my shots are landing then suddenly they are not, so it makes me apprehensive whether to engage an opponent, and more often than not if I run up to melee an enemy I will phase straight through them, even if I spin around to melee them again I will still go through them and end up dying because they will kill me, without any doubt it is the worst part of the game for me.

As an example, when I play on the map catalyst, if I attempt to melee somebody off the edge of the map, there is a chance I will phase through them and I will go off the edge, that’s how messed it is, I find myself bursting out into laughter, out of complete disbelief. There are many times, where I can get an occasional assist, but cannot get a kill for the entire match, all because my shots do not register, takes all my restraint not to quit the match.

As a side note; recently I have seen people in matches flying around the map, not using the grapple-hook, but flying around like superman, I also keep getting one shot or two shot with weapons, crazy fast TTK, is Halo COD now? I know desync.

It truly is annoying and frustrating. I do believe that if this got fixed, I mean truly fixed infinite would play so much better.

Simple: I would play this game if it was fixed. I will not play this game in it’s current state.

In the current rate with desync it needs to be looked into as a priority over anything else, a core mechanic that doesn’t work well will send droves packing and have already seen this.

It’s frustrating. If I use the BR from medium distance (30-40 meters) without zoom, one of the four bursts never enters. You can’t play competitively like this.

It’s been unacceptable since launch, yet here we are.

Desync and aim mechanics in Infinite have me at the point where I’m only playing a couple games a week. I’ve been playing State of Decay 2 while I wait for Infinite to offer me something new.

I will say, the various QoL features over the last couple updates have been nice

Here we are about to turn Infinite into another year with no true solution available in the coming time. Truly disappointing.

Since yesterday, I also have massive problems with desync, game crash while it loads (I play BTB mainly) and have high ping, grenades, shots from the cinder shot and ravager simply dissapear. Horrible at the moment.

Agree. I don’t understand how they can make h4 and h5 without these issues and can’t fix it in Infinite. The network is a bigger adversary than the other team.

Because 343 wanted halo to be more stable outside the USA but now it back fired because it’s not just people outside the country having issues it’s everyone experiencing issues with lag, desync, jitter, ping and etc!
I guess they were having people having issues not being able to play previous halo titles to the point online wasn’t even a option with people in countries like Australia, Europe, Etc! To bad they couldn’t just revert to using the classic engine we have been using sense halo CE!

Yeah, I can’t disagree on this topic. I literally just put a fusion coil in a guy’s face and didn’t break his shields. A FUSION COIL…TO THE FACE.

It sent hundreds of thousands packing. Could have been halos hay day again. All that profit gone. If I were the head of Microsoft I’d be raging so hard

Biggest issue of the game, need to fix it ASAP. While majority of player base is gone and it may not bring many back it is worth it over all options.

Yeah it does need to get fixed but don’t get your hopes up. It’s been over a year and the problems still exist.

yo you sound just like me. glad i’m not alone here.

343 lost so many players due to this.

I think they’re just riding this out until a new game can be pushed to market.

Would you buy a new halo game if it came out after this mess. I’m asking a serious question here.

Knowing what you know. Knowing the limitations 343 has in their development abilities, do you buy the next halo game the day it releases?
