Excess lag in Halo 2 anniversary?

In my experience thus far, in relation to connection, halo 2 anniversary has been unplayable. With the other halos I have at least experienced games that are semi smooth or even yellow bar. With h2 anniversary games however, the game is ALWAYS red bar. Almost zero percent of shots count and there is moderate teleportation. This happens every single match. I have acceptable ping times with very low jitter and a fast path data path.

Does this seem to be the case for everyone else as well? Or is it just me that has connection problems with h2 anniversary that vastly outweigh the other halos?

Yeah man same exact thing for me I can’t play Halo2a I throw a grenade then 5 seconds later it comes out of my arm

I have the exact problem, ONLY H2:A uses abnormally high bandwidth usage in shorts spurts.
The problem is worse per player in the game.

Here is an image of what my network bandwidth looks like when I play, the high peaks being 150kbps.

150kbps is my max upload speed, which maxes out my bandwidth and causes me to lag every few seconds.

I SERIOUSLY need 343i to address this, otherwise I’m quitting the game 100% due to the lag being completely unplayable.

same problem here. halo 2 classic runs good for me most the time but h2a always lags and its just in and out all game but mostly lag and no shot register and gernades come out really late

same problem here, i can play ce, h2c and h3 but h2a is like goin back to 2004, gettin standbyed every 5 secs, black screen and dead

“dedicated servers” yeah right…

Thank god, i think it was just me but in all the games wich I have played they are so laggy at the point that I throw nades and don’t exploit or even worst i shoot with the br and don’t hit it’s frustrating

thats what happens when u mix a terrible netcode bug with the old p2p system, good job 343, WE WANT DSs, enough of false advertising

Yuuuuuuuup same here boys, Bloodshots from my sniper, BR not registering shots at times, nades 2-6 seconds late, rockets don’t come out at all or 6 seconds late at time lol. All in H2A playlist as well, others seem to run semi smooth too but H2A is bad lol. I have a video here of some clips with me experiencing this inconsistent lag: Halo The Master Chief Collection Has Inconsistent Lag - YouTube

Glad I am not the only one as well and here here I want Dedicated Server like right now! haha

Same problem for me. Which scares me it’s that official messages from 343 who apologize for the matchamking issues are never talking about those lag. They are only refering to the difficulty to match games. So i hope it can be fixed; -that it’s not just our connexion who can’t handle the game

Definitely same as me, teleport issue is the worse for me, makes me motion sick! Need a fix for all these problems fast or I’m worried people are going to give up and sell halo!

Grenade throw lag, BR/Sniper Rifle/Rocket lag :frowning: Robs me of SO many kills it’s really frustrating. Glad to know I’m not the only one with this issue.

Same here Senpai I have a 17 download 3 upload which is above average in the uk, I haven’t had a single game where I haven’t suffered from extreme grenade/br lag, although it seems I only have this problem in halo 2 anniversary I had to go play crucible on destiny it was too much.

Same exact thing for me you guys. I was thinking it had something to do with like a certain download or upload speed requirement to play the game, but that doesnt seem to be the case since people with more than decent connections are experiencing the same exact issues. We need to get this issue out to 343 and its people, this issue defeats one of the main points of the game, and it needs to be addressed and fixed.
Grenades are 3 to 4 seconds late
Shoot about 7 bursts of BR and almost every single shot is returned to the magazine and therefore does not register resulting in a fast death with the opposing player taking little to no damage.
Movement is not registered and sometimes returned to spot where I moved from.
This ruins the game for me.
But like everyone else has said, CE, H2 Classic, and H3 are perfeftly fine and run smooth almost every single game (unless a bad host is selected of course). But in H2A it is just unplayable and every single matchmade game seems to be this way. And on a side note, my NAT is always open, so this is not a NAT type issue.
Please bring dedicated servers, we deserve this after how bad this game has treated us since launch.

Well said Sweet Tooth, it probably doesn’t help that for me i seem to match up against US players when i should be matched with EU hosts but besides the point we were promised dedicated servers but all gaming company’s are taking the cheaper option which obviously for the company its great but for the consumer who actually works hard for their money and invests in these games are then paying for a bad experience which is frustrating unless your the host. I am happy to see 343 making the effort to identify these bugs and general issues with the game but i cant imagine much can be done unless they decide to bring us dedicated servers which i cant see happening especially as there’s still bugs to be fixed with matchmaking and the campaign so they will have a lot of work on there hands. Next time i think i am going to wait a couple of weeks to buy a game to make sure that i will be getting the experience i paid for.

H2A is terribly laggy, throw a grenade and it doesnt come out for a few seconds. Frustrating.

I thought it just me. Glad to know I’m not alone.

My experience has actually changed just recently. H2A seems to have the less lag now and H3 has the worse. The opposite of what it was before…

H3 always had lag since launch for me, H2A got better, they just need to keep pushing out decent updates.

It 's true the lag is really much. The shots do not come to the enemies
Can you make the connection the same as the beta of Halo 5?
