i dont know why but every time i play SOPS the game lags but if i go do matchmaking it dus not lag can some one pls fix it cos i cant play like that
Sorry man. You’re SOL. It’s been that way since Reach (Firefight).
It’s probably because of the dated hardware of our Xbox 360’s.
I and the majority of others experience tremendous lag in Spartan Ops, well, the Xbox is trying to spawn like thousands of Covenant and Prometheans all at once, eh?
its the same kind of lag if you play firefight or campaign on any halo game
its still player to player host, but no one says those hosts of the 4 possible people are good, most of the time, theyre not
its only beause multiplayer matches you up with a minimum of 8 people odds are one of them have a badass connection
One person with a crap connection is all it takes for a game to lag. That is what it is. If you go in with friends that have good connections, and yours is good, then the lag will not be there. I have noticed that countless times.

Latency
The host has to send more data to the servers in Sops which takes longer than MM. After the servers collect all the info from the host and the other players. The server puts it together and send it back out. Each person has a different latency and you recieve it slower because your game you see on the screen is all sent from the hosts xbox to the 343 server then to you. You can reduce latency but only so much because it takes time for the games signal to be sent hundereds or thousands of miles.
It has nothing to do with dated hardware or latency. It’s just lazy programming, plain and simple.
The networking architecture used for Co-op and spartan ops is abysmal. They just need to rewrite it. Sending every input to the host console and back is horrid. The input delay makes it unplayable.
Other games on Xbox 360 handle online co-op just fine.
