Halo 4 Latency and the general state of thing

Games Other Halo
1

It has become increasingly difficult to enjoy, let alone play, Halo: 4’s matchmaking games.

I have a 25/down 3/up speed and get lagged out games nearly every time. I can easily prove this with my game recordings.

343: Fix this problem.

Selling half your servers because of “lost players to COD” is inexcusable. I know you want to make money but at least have the decency to support your current players and provide them with what they paid for. It’s becoming increasingly obvious why the Halo franchise suffers so much, yourselves and Bungie have consistently failed to provide a lag-free environment in which to play. Your “fixes” do little to nothing and there has always been a consistent lack of investment on your parts in addressing these problems.

Also:

  • NERF the AR and other automatic weapons
  • Possibly NERF the needler, the host advantage is not fair
  • NERF the bolt shot or remove it from the starting load outs, it is not fair

don’t nerf the AR, it is strong, but only in medium range.

Untrue: I’ve tested the AR’s range. It’s similarly accurate to the BR from medium to long distances.

I’m sorry, I have to disagree with that. IF you put lag into perspective, along with the fact that AR bullets fly all over the reticle unlike the BR’d precise aim, then it’s pretty ineffective past medium distances.

If you play with either the BR or DMR, you’ll understand just how insanely overpowered the AR is.

I’ve dueled kids with BR, headshots only, and AR always wins because if it’s ROF and accuracy.

Especially considering the fact that it now takes less AR shot to kill you.

And nerf autoaim and magnetic bullets…

Head on conflict is an advantage for whoever uses an AR, that much is known. I myself used a BR and DMR against an AR user a few times and I made it through even then. Explain to me how I won in that case. Also, a lag free environment is impossible. No matter how good your connection is, a global matchmaking will always include lag in some way.

I’m not asking for a “lag free environment” I’m asking for a playable game.

I expect a little latency going in but being in black screen for 5 minutes at a time unable to quit while the other team destroys you is ridiculous. For me, at least every other game is that way. Or how about the voting lag? Or the spring lag in the beginning of the game? Or your loadout not being selected after black screen?

All of these are problems that need to be f*cking fixed.
