Lag is BAD. Warzone has it worst with frequent, jarring freezes. These lag spikes are obvious. The ones that upset me the most are those sneaky lag spikes, where you are like WTF just happened!?
Sneaky Lag
The player skips making lag more obvious, so I spam the flag hoping to get hits on this guy. Lag catches up and I die Instantly. This makes me want to throw my controller at the TV. A lot of shots not registering lately, and literally getting 2-shotted by pistol, BR, and DMR makes me want to rage quit. I can accept when I’m playing poorly, but barely loosing almost every gunfight because of these inconsistencies is rage inducing. Reinstate Region Lock. Make this lag go away.
No, no no no no! We need an option for Region Lock, it’s caused too much trouble already!
The lag was bad even when they did have region lock. I’m like you, i can accept when i play poorly or lose a match but when its because of lag it’s infuriating.
After the last drop. It has been lagging and booting me from games on a frequency that is unacceptable!!!
Get a better Internet provider. I’ve not been lagging at all.
This is a growing problem. Selectable Servers is key. The population is just to small to support a complete lock down again. And if they don’t do something soon the population will shrink even further if it already hasn’t… This is becoming a make or break deal with H5. Having the option would make everyone happy happy!

I dont know about everyone else but because of the lag problems, and i have done everything i can do on my end to fix it, has made me stop playing the game. Plus the boredom of the same maps constantly and very little game modes

What a well thought out & insightful response.
Just for once, may be it’s not someones internet provider. Perhaps the high frequency of lag & latency that a plethora of players experience is as a result of both poor net-code, and the fact non-US players are constantly forced on to US servers (which happens 9 times out of 10).
Try opening your eyes & maybe you’ll eventually expand that tiny tiny mind of yours.
Thanks.
Seriously though what lag I’ve never had a touch of it since during my entire time playing the game the only lag I see is when other people have bad internet, besides the region lock lag the only lag in halo is on your end

I have also made sure everything was good on my end. Ive had 4 service techs out and one line tech out just to make sure everything was good to go. Everything checked out awesome! Ive completely quit playing any Arena type games. And WZ last night was horrible. Im just going to see if the next update will clean things up! If not then this will just become decoration for me. 
Do you feel you have a good ISP?

I would say the problem is latency, i.e signal delay.
Out of interest, what region are you in?

Latency is half of the problem.
The other half is composed by packet loss, routing issues and crappy or total absent lag compensation system.
You say to reintroduce Region Lock, i say to put Matchmaking Preferences (as it seems they are doing) and FIX THE DAMN NETCODE! Lag spikes aren’t due to latency but to netcode flaws!!! They are SPIKES, latency is something CONSTANT during the match.

True. If the population is too small, choosing more open matching is a good idea. I think part of the problem with poor net code is high bandwidth making programmers lazy. Bandwidth these days is waaay more than necessary to play smoothly. It’s kind of like what happened to RAM and Memory. NES programmers had to tweek out every last bit, making solid code. Memory is so massively abundant these days it makes developers lazy. Fix the lag, don’t hide it with patchy net code.

Ive read a lot of problems with the Netcode for this game… Very interesting stuff I will say… And that is another problem as well.
I’ve been playing the Gears 4 beta, and I started off a bit rusty… but because the connection is always GOOD and CONSISTENT, I’ve managed to become a beast on it.
Whenever I do lose (of course I get destroyed sometimes) I’m never annoyed; because I still get every kill I deserve and fairly get beaten by someone else.
I played three games of Halo just now and wanted to smash my TV. Why is the connection SO bad? I get robbed from getting kills all the time, and the enemy always wins. Like say neither me or an enemy has shields…and I body shot him three times with the BR BEFORE he even shoots me once in the body with a magnum…why have I died? Why do AR bullets do nothing? Why am I constantly getting teleported when I could turn a death situation into a kill? It’s so unfair it’s not even funny. Absolute scrubs destroy me and all I can do is hope that playing twice as good as them and hope I trade kills.
This is why the ranks are also a joke. I used to try really hard at getting the rank I felt I should be at until I realised the whole game’s broken from the ground up.

I think to know what are you talking about.
plz dont break ur controller it costs like $50
