Anyone else having issues with bullets not registering. I swear I’ve had to pump 5 shots into people with shields down just to kill them more often than not lately. Today has been absolutely horrible with hit registration.

Bad hit registration is usually a sign of days when I have bad internet speeds. Maybe it has something to do with lag?
Usually happens when you run around a corner and you take the first quick shots at what’s visiable. Theater Playback is almost impossible to accurately tell what the player was aiming at. It’s comical. When I first starting playing the game I was watching theater mode for tips and tricks.
I swear I thought everyone was cheating. lol until i realized the even with theater mode the aiming is AWFUL.
definitely lag, no issues with my internet 70/7 and ping times to the azure servers are sitting about mid 60ms. New wrt32x router + docsis 3 modem, xbox wired and nothing else connected to my home network when i play. halo 5 is the only game I ever have lag issues with unfortunately…kind of a love hate relationship with the games multiplayer.

i feel that is the servers or something. sometimes my sensitivity feels slow, then nice, then super fast.
Dude I think we have plenty of threads about lag already. It’s probably your connection. Get better internet. You probably live in some super small town in Minnesota with some crap ISP.

Haha before ragging on someone’s internet you know nothing about, Maybe look up the required specs to play halo on xbox live. You do not need high bandwidth internet to play Xbox live at its highest performance level. Your game will play just the same on 2 mbps as 200 mbps unless your using a ton of your bandwidth at the same time as you game by streaming Netflix or something. But It’s definitely the servers, they have shut a few down and they arent spread out very well. population is lower too so unless you live close to one you’re probably going to see more lag than there used to be.
The servers have this issue where the client reloads their weapon or still has ammo but the server hasn’t got this data. So you shoot but you just don’t have any ammo at all. This is the problem with server-trusted games, but I would rather deal with server-trusted issues than client-trusted issues.
I’ve played a lot of Halo 5 and it seems someone always connection advantage whether it’s you or the opposition. I’ve observed it in tournament play too which makes me think it’s not a ping issue but something inherently wrong with the game. It’s a distinct feeling when playing. Like you have very strong bullet magnetism and can’t miss or you’re shooting blanks. Heavy aiming is another problem that still exists. Feels like the air gets thicker or like you’re underwater. Very frustrating.

LOL…I know exactly what you mean!!! Why does my sensitivity feel different from day to day playing this game. I have to adjust it higher or lower depending on the day and how its playing. Why should it ever change? Why doesn’t it feel consistent? Never had this issue in H2, H3, etc. Its an H5 issue. I don’t get it.
I can’t even bear to play competitively any more. The game plays so inconsistent, I have to play in the social area. Even this is becoming not enjoyable. I may just need to find something else to play.

Its been happening more frequently lately especially with these server issues. Found myself shooting people in the head more than once after popped shields… they took it like a champ, they didnt even flinch. + I think your right, few days ago (after spending months finding my perfect sensitivity) didnt feel right like i wasnt landing shots. now im in a sens crisis. RIP
They did mention they’ve been having server issues. Still, definitely sucks for players with crappy internet to have to deal with that AND bad server performance. Tonight I had 4 separate gunfights where my shots were literally vanishing. No shield damage or anything. I even lost multiple melee battles because I would smack them and literally nothing would happen. Not to mention the tons of headshots that refused to register after the enemy had rounded a corner.

To be fair at least it isn’t Reach. I still cringe when I think about the endless hours trying to get that sens right. Ew.
Usually I’d say for the 3 years the game has been out I haven’t experienced it whatsoever. But sadly as of recently I’ve been experiencing it and it’s been horrible. I can get over (though I shouldn’t have to) but I’ll notice the game robbing me of my kills or clutch plays because the person who I’m looking at who should be dead is staring at me like nothing happened and walks away (exaggerated of course)
It’s definitely happened before. I’ve also dealt with players teleporting like Goku…instability of connection also seems to cause reticle aim sensitivity inconsistencies.
I now search on focused though. For the time being, it seems to have really promoted great games regarding stability, opponent skills, etc…for the most part. Once in awhile a friend hops on with a bad connection, strict NAT, and had it set on expanded…and there…I encounter super saiyans teleporting all over and my shots bounce off them. Might as well change my GT to Krillin at that rate.
welcome to aus where i need 7 shots to the head to kill someone cause more then likely 2 to 3 shots will not register. happens to me all the time, i get killed through walls so often to. just lag

Lol I’m on the West Coast of Aus mate, I think all us Aussies suffer in this game and always play with a massive disadvantage…

That sucks. You guys need an aussie server.
It’s probably just your ping times going up and down, and there’s nothing you can do about that unless you’re rich and can buy dedicated bandwidth.

Yeah we have Aussie servers but the issue is low Australian player base, not enough Australians play this game let alone at the same time in order to connect to an Aussie server, just hope that H6 corrects this issue (depends on how sales go in Australia which will be interesting) and if H6 allows choice of server location, I hope it does.
