So i was really enjoying Halo 5, but as soon as the february update dropped, the game has been unplayable. The lag is making me lose almost every match i play.
I played ranked swat and i lost 2/4 matches only because of the enemy not dying, killing me through walls or dying 1/2 seconds after i shot him.
I also have the clips to prove the lag: (sorry for the lazy links)

Clip 1: Enemy not getting hit by my punch, getting killed 1 second after i shot him, and at last i don’t even know what happened
Clip 2: Massive lag that causes my death
Clip 3: :Enemy taking damage 2 seconds after i shot him, me dying even if i didn’t get hit, the enemy dying after i shot him (so he managed to kill me before dying)
Is anybody having this issue too? (i am italian and i know connection in italy sucks just by itself, but the game was still playable two days ago)
I’m not playing Halo 5 anymore until this annoying lag stops and the game becomes playable again…
The first vid you missed your shot got a melee than he got behind you and meleed you, you died no lag.
second vid you missed you first shot and he hit you, its also easily plausible you hit eachother at the same time as the kill feed reads.
third vid was lag for sure.
I broke down its video into frames so yes when i say you missed, you did miss. That snipe in the first vid went left of his head, you can see the trail of the bullet after you gun fired.
Trades happen all the time in swat, all because you died at the same time as him does not mean you lagged, it means you fired at the same time, also you did miss your first shot, it was just right of his head.
First I’m sorry for you that this happened and I myself have been fine no unmanageable lag here in the states (at least not Ohio)
I’m having no problems at all, but I’m in Los Angeles so I never have connection problems unless I try to play a game like Destiny that doesn’t have dedicated servers.

In regard to vid 1 and 2, it wasn’t the first kill/death in those vids. What he is talking about is in the last few seconds.

i know and thats what im referring to, i watched each vid multiple times and I just dont see lag in those to vids.
I know ! I thought it was just me ! What the hell is happening !? ( I’m European, dont know if it has anything to with that but it has never happened to me, outside those casual xbox live issues)

I would like to add that the 3rd one seems like very little to no lag. Sniper bullets aren’t raycasted as soon as you fire, they are projectiles and the small fraction between you firing , him firing, him and you dying, could be explained by bullet speed.
If this is the only lag that OP is experiencing it is far from unplayable. I have played multiple games where we hit a lag spike and the person I am trying to shoot teleports several feet multiple times due to lag. My brother plays with a 500+ ping some nights and the game is far from unplayable for him.
In the second clip, look at the ammo count when you respawn. Wen you shoot, you use about 4 bullets. You get 2 back.
Happens ALL the time for me, Im in Middle East.
One of the unlucky few. 343 says theyre launching updates to help with these issues soon. Hope it gets fixed fast for ya.

Yupp!!
Thats what happens in 5/10 games…
Not always an assasination, but crap like that thaz drives me nuts
dunno about in game lag, but the servers are incredibly unstable for the past 2 days, i get dced every other game, adn this is rather frustrating as it wud be warszone games where my team was winning by a very large margin…
This is new as i have been playing for 3 weeks now with no network issues at all, abosolutely smooth gameplay until 2 days ago.

I didn’t miss my shot on my 1st clip, and i didn’t get killed by a beat down. I should have killed him with a beatdown instead.
I have a lot more clips to show you my lag issues, if you wanna “break them down” frame by frame, just ask me and i’ll give you the links…
Some of the clips I see lag, some I just see missed shots. To say the least, yes there is a problem though and they are aware of the issues.

that’s fine, im just saying what I see, and what I see, besides the last vid is no and or little lag. (no you shouldn’t have killed him with a beat down, you missed your shot, he had full shield and you hit him on the side, if you hit his back hed be dead but you didnt)
As a European, you will play 90%+ games on US servers. Even if the lag is not obvious, it is always there.
It’s not lag…it’s latency -Yoink!-!
Jeeeeeeez!
We also get less aim assist because of this…it’s like having a handicap in every aspect of the game
