Completely normal… happens in almost every game. Lucky you if it’s your first time

Wow. That’s one of the clearest examples of it I’ve seen. Zero ambiguity on that one.
That’s a normal match for me. Doesn’t matter my ping either.

Every night I get Dsync like this . This game is terrible I can’t believe 343 hasn’t fixed these issues yet with the networking side of the game. My game freezes and gets disconnected mid match nightly and now I’m banned again for it. What a joke. We need to re hire Bungie and bring back the networking function that Halo 3 had . Halo infinite plays like a pile of mud .
I can’t believe the staff doesn’t have the knowledge to fix the servers and fix the netcode for going on a year plus since release date .

I played some custom games earlier, and it was bad, bad, bad, so I decided to play some other games as a test.
I played Battlefield 4, using cloud gaming, I have not played for a long time and I figured if any game would give me problems, that one would, then I played Battlefield V, using cloud gaming, and then played Destiny 2, I experienced zero problems in any of those games, then I jumped back onto Halo and played some more community custom games, and holy crap, the desync makes it impossible to compete, and most importantly, have fun.
The thing is, I know in a match other players are experiencing the same delay as me, but there are always one or two who do not, which you can tell by the score, they run around owning players.
They need to do something, maybe take the servers off-line, do a hard reset, fixing desync needs to be the single most important thing that needs to be addressed.
I am thinking more often than not now, I should uninstall the game and not look back, I have given 343 plenty enough time to uphold their end of the bargain, but it sure is hard to turn away, keep thinking, just possibly, the game will get fixed.
I most certainly doubt it though, season 3 will bring buggies full of cosmetics to buy, and no tangible fixes, although they will say they are working hard on fixes.

The problem was meant as a feature to counter lag and high ping. In 343 style, the whole thing backfired massively and probably won’t be fixed for good ever because it’s part auf the netcode.
I loved this clip so much because it wasn’t just a death, it was probably the definition of “WTF just hit me”. https://gamerdvr.com/gamer/esnoox/video/170671982
View to the enemy is completely blocked yet the shield drops. And though this happened on 160 ping, I experience it the exact same way on 30 as well.
You got shot from behind the wall? Your health was low but how did the 2nd shot get you? 
well it looks like you were getting shot from blue base on top there AND there was a guy behind you.
nothing too unclear about that one, you put yourself out in the open and paid the price for it. (I do this all the time as well.)
Ehm, it was the start of the match, so I highly doubt someone was behind me;)
Ah ok, I see what you mean: I’m not talking about the death, I’m talkin about the start and the one shot that connects about 10 frames after I’m behind the big pillar right in front of me.

Maybe the first shot got you (the one that looked like it missed you) but everything just got delayed. Either way - just dodgy networking.
I’m sure I was right in the crosshair of the enemy, so for him everything went fine. And that’s the problem of it… thinking you are save while you are not.
Ah sorry replied wrongly there. I was talking about the OP and him getting sniped.
It looked like you was getting team shot in your game. Lovely place that top mid.
I keep wondering, are the Devs actually playing the game, testing the game, because this happens so often, it has to set off alarm bells. I also find it amusing when people like to pipe up and declare that fixing the problems in the game are TOUGH, gotta cut them some slack, even though other developers have figured it out.
Off topic … This is the only game I get stick drift, and I have to periodically play with the controller dead zones, what gives? I am sure they will add even more settings for the input device, that way they can always blame the horrendous aiming on the user. Solution, let Bungie set up the aiming , and movement for Halo.

Exactly. Because it works “most of the time” so if you’re having an issue, thats a “you” problem. I’m sure they see it this way.
As I said, I’m taking about the first bullet right before dropping down from the base.
This … tin hat alert… for say three games I can aim perfectly fine. I might win those. Then for the next three games I can’t aim at all. I’ll lose those.
Pretty sure the game is making me lose on purpose.

This game has been out for over a year already and this problem still exists. If it’s not fixed bye now chances are it’s not ever gonna be fixed. Halo just needs to be taken away from 343 at this point. The net code is one of the most important parts of an online multiplayer game and they completely screwed it up. The gameplay means nothing if you can’t reliably play it online as it was intended

I have the same experience … putting tons of shots into cracked spartans and not much happens. Yeah it’s frustrating. They shouldnt mess with it this way, if i win say 5 games in a row against mostly plat 1 teams or whatever, up the ante and let me play against better teams like higher plat or diamond. The game should challenge this way, not with artificial crap like this.

Not sure where you got this information from, but it’s false.
Yes, they do; I have several I play with, including one of the playtest coordinators.
From my understanding, there are four causes of desync:
- Server netcode
- Old engine code
- Xbox One
- Xbox profile and how it collects data
Two of these can be fixed by 343; the other two have to be fixed by Microsoft/Xbox.
If you are referring to the blog post from February 2022, then I have read that post a dozen times. There is no mention of desync being an intentional feature. I know it was not for a fact.
