Halo 5 has a huge problem and 343 is doing nothing

Halo 5 really is an amazing game but why is there still this problem disconnecting everyone’s console from the network while in game ? So many people have reported it and it seems like 343 is doing nothing to stop it ! Was just in a swat game carrying 30 K 8 D and it was 45 - 45 and boom disconnected seriously ! Please fix this I know it’s not my internet and so many people have reported it and their doing nothing ! Then I wonder why I get put on onyx or diamond, I believe this actually affects your division negatively, please leave your thoughts below.

The hardest part about Forge isn’t the actual map creation.

It’s getting the game to start, or spamming save when you start rubber-banding before you crash.

Thanks for the reply but it isn’t relevant ?

You probably going to hate me for this but I have never experienced this issue. Could it be slow internet?

343 has probably noticed the issue and are working for a fix, but just aren’t saying anything about it. I play halo 5 with a god awful connection, I lag and rubber band every single game but I have never experienced a disconnect issue.

I guess you didn’t get the joke.

Nope it doesn’t I have around 25mb down and 6mb up, a lot of people have this issue

Nope don’t even know what rubber banding is to be honest

I’ve noticed the dc issues as well. I don’t lag or rubberband but i still get occasional dc out of the blue. Really fun when you’re in the final 5 minutes of a warzone and you’ve used a ton of reqs already…

Happened to me a couple of times- and still way, way, waaaaay better than host migration

It’s just awful specially for
competitive players it shouldn’t affect a players rank division if he gets lagged out, 343 should track how well the player was doing in the game before
being disconnected and implement that into the final rank division given

I have been dc 10 times total since launch and while yes annoying i consider this an amazing track record that out of some 275 games ive been kicked 10 times. And a few of those was because i had been downloading fallout and my internet decided it needed a brake. As to your problem, is it often you get kicked ? Cause if its 1 time out of 20 games you should probably not expect perfection. If its every second game then yes that is a problem and im afraid i don’t know how to help since i haven’t experienced it. As for the ranking i doubt it has any effect on the end rank since DC probably don’t count in the ranking system.

Edit: I meant 439 games. Wow I’ve played this game a lot more than I expected.

And you think host advantage is great for competitive right? /s

Can I propose its because it’s the holidays? 343i and Microsoft are off on break. Several hundred people are getting their Xbone and Halo 5 as gifts and logging on, and the servers are getting flooded, with no one at Microsoft or 343i to manage the huge influx of players. Doesn’t this happen every Christmas? And was said before, I personally am amazed at how few disconnects there have been, relative to previous years/games.

This is annoying, but it has happened very few times, I have had four or five since release, I’m going to see how many games that I have played. Edit = I can’t work out that mess of a stat list lol, it looks like about 700 - 1000 games completed, so a handful of disconnects, whilst annoying is not a major issue in my opinion.

I would say I get kicked once in 10 games and it’s so frustrating

And I’m sure the disconnects do affect the tank I been told on here before

Would be better I assume there would be no disconnects if there was host and not dedicated servers

Nothing to do with Christmas it’s been happening since launch

Are servers really servers if they are down? Sounds like a philosophical question. :smiley:
