so I’ve noticed the incredible amount of lag that has plague the game no doubt because of them lifting the region lock. It has made the game almost unplayable. Up until that point I have not once encounter any bit of lag. Now I cant go a single game with everyone teleporting all over the place making it impossible to play. 343 if u r listening is there any way u can fix this?
I have to second this. The lag is really bad. I still remember up until The Cartographer’s Gift update, I never had a problem with connection or had latency issues, now it happens on a regular basis, and Warzone is nearly unplayable for me.
Yeh its bad, to the point where I’m starting to not want to play arena, which I love, because its just not fun anymore. And its not just a region lock issue - here in Aus we still have region lock, and its almost impossible to find games at diamond and above, but there are still people lagging all over the screen. I don’t know if its related but around the time of last update there also seemed to be an increase of lag, and now its even worse.
Same here, since the new arena season games have been laggy with players absorbing shots. Was never a great player but could hold my own at high platinum now I seem to have real issues.
Please re-add region lock.
I haven’t played in the last 24 hours, but removing region lock is a TERRIBLE idea. 343i actually had the game in a great spot and only needed to focus on content. Now, we can all enjoy the lag together! YAY!
Since the last update i have huge lag spikes before that update i barely had any problem with lag. even when playing against american players (im eu) But since the update it is unplayable, i rather have longer serach times and a good game than -Yoink- game and less search time.
I’ve quit Halo 5 until they fix this; it’s quite literally unplayable.
Lag in this game has been atrocious from the start, but this- this is too far.

I’m with you. This needs to take priority over making new skins and reqs. The state of the servers are more important than anything else.

Those are different kind of teams, skins etc are artist teams, they can not do anything about the network stuff. But yeah it should be top priority. And it probably is.
I’ve quit playing until it’s fixed. It just isn’t fun playing it like this. I’m going back to old school games since 343’s new tech isn’t working. Anyone up for Destiny?
343 really needs to see this. As some others have said, it’s game-breaking to the point that, sadly, I don’t even play. 
Like the rest of the community, I really love Halo. I have for over 10 years. So to not be able to play the newest one is saddening. I don’t usually qualify for ranking because every time I get really in the mood and try to play some Halo 5, the teleporting of everyone everywhere, and the frequent disconnects from the servers, or the inability to connect in the first place, has kept me off the game most of the time. Some are saying they’ve seen a connection with an update, but this has been the experience for me from the beginning. Yet other games play fine. Halo 5 is the only issue for me. Even the Master Chief collection holds up for me. Just not H5.
As has been mentioned above about AUS. Apparently it’s still region locked but there is still plenty of lag that wasn’t there a month ago. It also comes and goes for each game. One game might be fine then another lags like crazy.
It’s also seems to be one sided which I am assuming is lag. I have been in matches where we have gone 12-13 to zip before we get a kill. Could be player skill based but those types of score lines are way more common this month.
This entire month has been atrocious game play trying to play in arena, but if i go into warzone i put down 40 kills without looking at the screen. I try and play arena and no one dies my reticle never wants to go on an enemy and people teleport and jitter around.
There has been some lag for me lately, but not severe. I ran the multiplayer diagnostic, it says there is 1% packet loss. All else looks good. I used to have 0% packet loss on XBL.

Yep, same here…
It’s crap here in the North Central or North East parts of the US. People in Texas and Florida think we’re whiny crybabies. There’s disparity in lag. High population regions near MS servers think this game is still performing well. The only answer is for 343 to do something with the netcode because what they found with region lock is that the gaming population is just too low for successful matchmaking in many regions. If they don’t update the netcode, I fear this game is dead where I live. I can’t get on during peak times most days.
Im in the North central US. And ive tried playing various times of the day. My best times ive found are 6pm-10pm CST… Make no mistake those times are not great play but more tolerable. This net code you speak of was this a problem at launch or was this an after effect from removing region lock? Thanks!
didn’t you get used to it? It’s been 6 months - enough to get used to it

Not sure how one can get used to it outside of accepting poor hit registration at times, being totally -Yoinked!- at other times and gaining a significant advantage when the other guy is dealing with one of the other two scenarios.

I know ^^ I hate It all the Tim and I the main and only issue why I consider quitting this game…
but I honestly don’t think it will be ever fixed, seeing how many people already walked away from this game…
