All multiplayer games were working fine yesterday, no lag what so ever, start playing tonight, every game I join is lagging, badly, picking new hosts every minute, kicking me out! Any one else experiencing this?
this happens pretty intermittently. i think it’s just luck of the draw+no dedicated server for multiplayer.
i could be wrong, of course, so id advise you do some research on your own as well.
Your probably just getting some laggy games. Keep trying.
Is your nat set to open? And is anyone else in the house using your internet connection on a computer? The only times I experience lag are in those situations. If you’re wondering how to set your NAT to open, you can find a tutorial here.

It’s normal for H4.
Read this thread on how Host gets selected (that should surprise everyone):

So if you had a bunch of low rank SR players, they get host regardless of how good connection was and then the game will be a lag fest.
Options like “Best Connection” in Halo Reach pretty much solved this issue - only about 5% of my games (1 in 20) lag anything like H4 does 80% of the time.

99% sure you are right on this one, just depends who you are getting matched with (lower population means less options).
