Have last year's matchmaking issues been fixed?

My friends wanted to redownload the game, but I’d personally like to not waste disk space if it could be avoided. (I think) I read every past update post, but I have not found definitive information if the following issues have been fixed:

  • Desync, fake reloading, no bullet/melee/grenade damage (there was a mention it was improved, but I’m still seeing recent posts about the issue on the subreddit);
  • Being able to rejoin matchmaking;
  • Not being penalized for leaving a 3v4/2v4//1v4 game;
  • Team composition being based around having a player’s win rate be 50/50 instead of the match win chance being 50/50;

If any of you fellas know it would really help. Hope to see you out there, thanks.

It’s better, but not fixed.

It’s supposed to be better, but every game I’ve played since the event started has been nothing but terrible desync. I can’t kill some people no matter what I do. Swords, rockets, gravity hammer nothing.

I’d love to try and finish the event and then the weekly cap, but I just don’t think I can tolerate having such terrible games that I’m going to just suffer through and there’s nothing I can do about it. It’s not that I suck or I can’t aim, it’s that no matter how hard I try certain people in the game just won’t take damage from anything I do.

All still there. fake reload is almost completely fixed though.

Fake reloads and weird glitches involving entering and exiting vehicles have been the main improvements. Having a local matchmaking option helps getting smoother games as well but it’s definitely not foolproof.

And of course immediately after my first post I have a game that proves to me that desync was the issue. I went 17-7 and actually got a triple kill with a sniper rifle. I suck with the sniper typically. Suddenly the game felt completely different and everything was working. Why can’t they just figure out their servers? :weary:

Better for sure, definitely not fixed. It’s hard to believe this is where we currently sit with Halo Infinite matchmaking.

I haven’t had a fake reload since the hot fix.
