Halo 5 is becoming more laggy and un-playable

You have probably seen my posts before, about ‘dedicated servers’ and the increasing lag. Well here is another to the list. My question, how many more are experiencing this NOW? Im sure the population on this issue is increasing.
I play all wired, on a PC monitor. My internet is as best it can be (i live in a small town), but 2 months ago the game played fine, with a higher population playing, more load on the ‘server’ i actually had LESS lag than i do now.

I LOVE Halo, but it is getting really hard to play. Tonight i had quit out of 2 ranked games, they were simply unplayable. I say this as i have NEVER quit out of a ranked game by choice. But its getting so bad for me now, i have to tap the sprint button about 5 times to sprint. 1/3rd of the time when i choose to pick up a weapon, nothing happens and i have to run back and select it again or spam the button to pick it up, while i stand there a sitting duck. OR another of my favorites, i pick up a new gun, run about 10 meters then it finally catches up and i bring it up the gun on my screen.

Now ive ALWAYS had shot registering issues, and playing at Onyx level, ive had to say good bye to winning and my KD. At lower levels, my skill can make up for the lag against average players (most of the time) but as you could guess, at higher levels you simply cant. I miss a shot, i die (its not me missing its the game registering my shot not hitting the head).

So off to Warzone, where ‘welcome to Australia’ none of the higher ranked Onyx players can find ranked games, so they all create super GOD teams, and Warzone ‘can’ be harder than Ranked playlist games. The irony is i actually have less lag in Warzone? With more people, bigger maps, more chaos?
How’s this make any sense? Is Warzone Dedicated Servers and ranked is still P2P? Cause that is the only explanation i can come up with. I ALWAYs play against people from Asia once it gets a bit later at night, even on weekends. Really, no Aussies are playing Slayer anymore? Is the population THAT screwed up?

What gives? I am SO frustrated about this, as you can see from my stats i play LOTS. But its getting to the point where im about to give up and play CoD instead. I hate it, but i never have the lag issues in CoD that i do with 343 and their ‘Halo’.

I have some lag and that’s it

Did you have any before December update?

I had no lag before the December update.

I’ve barely played Halo 5 this month, but when I logged on yesterday it took me almost 15 minutes to find a game in BTB. The second game was taking just as long, so I turned it off. I checked my connection and it was normal 325 mbs/dl, 23 mbs/upl, open nat, zero packet loss, 45 ms ping to MS server.

Yeah i pretty much had no lag before Dec too.

Hope this update fixes things.

I haven’t played BTB in months @Jonny Boy. Never enough people playing for the playlist…

As of the January update, I’ve been unable to play with any of my friends from the US. Idk if this is temporary, but it wont let me :confused:

I got invited to a US fireteam the other night and noticed the difference to when I am playing on the Australian servers. Usually I don’t have many problems as long as I stay on our servers and play during the day and evening.

You on East coast? Im on West, so when I play at 8pm is 11pm over east and everyone has stopped playing by then.

Hope this update fixed this problem! Pretty keen to find out. Hope it region locks us (sorry for the guys with US friends).

Have seen a few more threads on lag lately. Anyone have any more ideas?

I had no lag in Nov.
Some lag in Dec.
No lag in Jan.
Feb is TBA.

I have had lag but I believe its on my end, it usually occurs around 9 pm everynight which is when my internet on my PC decides to lag. Otherwise no I have had none

I have not had many lag issues. Maybe one game a couple of hiccups, about every 5 games. So no issue for me. It too bad it is happening to others.

I am having a little more than I remember from the last blue moon I played.

Nothing major though…

I can’t even connect anymore…it was working just fine last week but I haven’t been able to get on at all this time around. Update worked fine but I cant connect to the lobby system. The heck?

I find matches pretty fast… Idk… lol

Lol you guys think you know lag? Try living in the UK. 90% of the time we’re playing on your servers, it sucks. People teleport all over the place, everything lags, it’s annoying as hell. There’s a 130+ page thread asking for regional server selection, so far no fix.

I got kicked from my own custom game earlier today because of the servers.

Yes I’m on the East coast. I guess it would be different for you guys on the West. We have a guy in our Spartan Company who is in the Northern Territory and he has lag even on our Australian servers.

I have been getting Warzone Assault games today though so that’s something that is better for us here down under.
