I put in Halo 4 last night in a brief attempt to try to have some fun with a game I hadn’t played for nearly 4 months. I played 3 games, quit out of one (Forge Map), and couldn’t muster more than 8-9 kills in the other two.
The lag is absolutely ridiculous. There’s both online lag, present due to matchmaking putting me with players from around the world, and screen lag, due to the lack of attention 343i put into splitscreen.
I pulled the game after the third match, put in Halo 3, and played for several hours with my friends. Why? Because it was lag-free, fun, made much more sense, and wasn’t filled with weapons that could kill me from across the map with only a few bullets (Light Rifle, I’m looking at you).
If 343i screws up the splitscreen with Halo 5 like they did with this game, and they fail to fix the evident connection issues, the population will be even lower.
Hard to compare two games when you played so little of one. So what, you ran into 3 particularly laggy lobbies. I’ve played 11 games today and am yet to experience lag.

Nope. I quit playing Halo 4 back in June because it was so bad. All other factors aside (343i ruing the franchise, not listening to feedback, lying, etc.), Halo 4 got old quickly and the lag, especially in splitscreen, turned me away.
I dare you to put on a guest and try to 5-shot someone. I dare you.
Well for starters…
The majority of the lag you are complaining about is due mainly because of the lack of a regional filter.Combined with the obvious low population.This issue will be less present due to the full dedicated server support across most or all games on the X1.Your concern will not exist in H5.
Now for your other problem, which is the massive drop in frames when split-screening(screen lag).This problem exist because Halo 4 pushes the 360 to its absolute limit.Nothing that can be done about that.This issue will not exist on the X1 since it will have essentially 50x the power of the 360(rough estimate lol, though probably close).So again your concern will not exist in H5.
Hope that clears up your issue’s and concern’s.
All true about the X1.
Also, 3 has more than 4, population is about 1/3 of 4’s.
