FIX IT this is why people are leaving halo not the gameplay
no lag for me
The only problem that needs to be fixed is that horrible music intro to the youtube video.
There isn’t lag issue. The game runs just fine online.
O.P., your problem is on your end. Make sure your LAN settings are optimized.
Sure, there are few lag spikes, but this game plays a lot more stable than Reach did.
I’ve been having this same problem as well. It’s been happening more often than not. Even more so than Halo: Reach. Don’t get me wrong when there isn’t lag, it has a really good netcode and plays smoothly but whenever this lag starts to occur, it just makes it unplayable.
I’ve had 2 occurrences where it would lag so badly, it would go into black screen saying it’s looking for a host, and after literally about 5 minutes in black screen, it kicks me out of the game. Gets really frustrating.
It’s definitely not on my end as well. I’ve been using this internet service ever since Reach and I have never experienced this amount of lag in such a short period of time.
lol call of duty isnt this bad in fact i think COD is going to blow halo out just be cuz of this lak of love 343 really hase for halo and it fans…bumer

Dude it’s quote’s like these that provide no value to the community. While Halo 4 is definitely a solid game, there are several issues that need to be addressed to improve the overall experience of most of the players. I have an amazing internet connection, yet even I experience lag on the game.

there putting new playlist in the game and -Yoink- but forgetting about the people who cant even start playing the game yet thats -Yoinking!- stupid
I’ve had very little problems with it and when I do its because of my connection.

This.

Rofl, I love statements like this one.
Makes a huge generalization, then attempts to provide “support” by telling someone to “optimize” settings.
I’ve played over 100 wargames. Maybe 5-6 games, at the most, have been like what the OP is experiencing. In the case of those 5-6 games, the host was never changed; the lag continued on until the game ended. Everyone in the game with microphones was also complaining about the lag.
This was a major problem with Halo Reach, and overall it seems to have improved somewhat (host selection).
For all the children claiming it works on their end, therefore it’s a problem the OP has- please go back to school. Your input contributes nothing to this thread.
I’m a network engineer; there are hundreds if not thousands of problems that can occur going from server-host (another player acting as the host). Please stop making definitive statements about where the problem is. You don’t know his/her situation at all, so there’s no reason for you to open your mouth.

if it runs find why am i hear and why are they 100s of people crying on twitter about it?
same I have a great connection and constantly get lag in Halo 4, its unbearable to the point where I am going to give up playing till the fix it
very disappointed in 343/Microsoft, why no servers? EA can do it with all the BF games for all the systems but you can’t pull it off for your best franchise wtf? makes no sense but that would fix these problems, instead better connections have to get latency to play with worse connections complete crap

For a while I was getting really horrible laggy games with my Spartan feeling like he was skating on ice. Testing my network (OPEN NAT) came up with an A grade connection on Pingtest.net but I still was getting lag galore.
Then the game picked up and I haven’t had any problems since except for rage quitters causing the game to restart. I think I have a ONE game in the last two days where there wasn’t a restart due to someone leaving. Mind you, if they were getting bad lag I wouldn’t blame them for leaving. It’s just irritating that it take so long to restart the game.
In fact there was this one game where I was in melee range of this enemy red and I kept jumping in and out of this teleporter. Was hilarious because I would hit him once, he would hit me once and then the game changed hosts… waited… waited… ahh back… THUMP! as I hit him again… game changes hosts again… waited… waited… BACK…THUMP! this time I got hit and AGAIN the host changed. In the end I just left as it was ridiculous. Never got to see who won that fight.
I think that the game was choosing the wrong hosts tbh. That would give everyone lag even if your own connection is perfect. I’m always monitoring my network to see if there is any lag on my gigabit home network.
Another thing is that it causes errors when coming out of the restart. I couldn’t run or use armour abilities after I got back into the one game. Quite annoying when you go to jetpack across a gap only to find it doesn’t work. Dying fixed the problem thank god.
