Category descriptions (from 16th Annual DICE Awards Rules and Procedures):
"Outstanding Achievement in Connectivity
This award is given to a property or title that best demonstrates innovation in connection mechanics across varied platforms. This is typically exemplified through the expansion of a story or narrative through complementary elements across two or more platforms (e.g. Console/Facebook or Console/Mobile Device).
“Outstanding Achievement in Visual Engineering
Presented to the individual or team whose work represents the highest level of achievement in rendering visual elements for an interactive title.”
How is connectivity deserved? I’ve spent as much time in black screen as I have playing. It takes fair to long to host migrate. Even MW3 can do it in a matter of seconds…

Like many of the people commenting so far, you clearly haven’t read the award’s description.
We are all aware that halo 4 has some lag issues, so when they are awarded for something that, at first glance, seems to be dealing with internet connections, that alone should clue you in that the title may be misunderstood and probably requires further investigation. And 10 seconds to read the description isn’t exactly all that time consuming.
