Error retrieving data center connection quality??

Every time i try to do a online Co-op game we both get this error? Also the troubleshooting indicates this could be from “Playing with geographically dispersed friends”, whatever the hell that means. This is beyond ridiculous that this isnt working. We’ve played games before doing Co-op, so i dont understand why this wont work?

Frustrated.

Yea I’ve had the same problem I can’t even get in to a custom game .I’ve had nothing but problems with this game tbh. It don’t let join my brother in Co op kicks me within about 3 min .totally stupid. Roll on battlefront least that’s got split screen .ps what’s up with the lack of fun modes action sack infection. King of the hill etc. Don’t get me wrong I’m loving it but I find I get bored quicker than I normally do with a halo game .

I am having the same problem. This is an embarrassment to gaming that the flagship title for Microsoft and 343’s pride and joy is not playable. It’s really amazing to me that after how many years of the same problem we don’t have something ready to play out of the box. It is beyond frustrating and makes me want to not buy your products 343. Get your heads out of your @$$es and do something right for a change.

we are all the way in February and I am as well having the retrieving data problem.
i cant play warzone now because i cant even get rek cards because it wont retrieve my data, I cant pull up my custom maps with the same problem, or in forge.
343 i hope you are listening here cause this is not something that should happen.
