You just quit because it was launch site, don’t lie.

I’m one of the few that don’t actually mind launch site (except the blockers over the buildings).
I wouldn’t even mind if it was 200 ping, it was the 100-200-400-200-150-200 ping with a scattering of “unstable connections” and rubber banding

In all seriousness, my ping “shows” 15ms in the vast majority of games. Roughly 90%.
If not it’s usually always 84ms. Very rarely I’ll get higher.
It’s NEVER above 250 and it’s ALWAYS stable, never fluctuating +/- 1ms
I posted the above clip because this was seriously out of the norm.
2 games later this happened.

Was a stable 180ms the whole game, no issues at all, then had this rubber band hitting close to 600ms for a few seconds, was stable for the rest of the game.
I’ve had rubber banding before but very rarely and not where the ping actually admits it’s having a seizure .

Why would you NOT quit when getting launch site?

Yea I swear it’s getting worse. Literally NEVER above 70 ping (usually it’s 15-30) on infinite until last week. I’ve had a couple games go 100-300. And started seeing the “unstable” message in top right which I’ve never noticed before either. Really I just assumed it put me on a European server - because if I go by the mcc server pings, 70 or lower is in the US. That 150-200 is Europe.

Super edit: this has to be one of the dumbest forum/website suites, I’ve ever seen. Rampant censoring and adding/posting links is one hell of a hassle. 343 can’t even do a forum right lolwat.
Hyper edit: better link

Yeah, I’m UK. I think the 84 is East US, and 15 is either Dublin or London (not 100% where the servers are TBH).
Vast majority of matches are on those. The clips above were at about 1130pm local (GMT) and I was either 15 or the 180 to 600 rubber band games.
Even with 15, I’ve always had some problems in almost every game as most people do but last night was definitely worse.
It must be all those “bad actors” manipulating your ping.

I’m not lying. I play it all the time. I admit if I played swat it would drive me nuts but it’s fine for my go-to-not-care-playlist-fiesta.
The only thing I don’t like about it are the blockers…

as someone who has an iffy wifi connection, i will say, in every other game that i have, the connection is stable. about 80 - 100 ms. but next to no packet loss, and no jittering. be it in call of duty or MCC.
but in halo infinite… god nearly every other second ‘packet loss’ lasting for seconds on end. and if not that 100+ ms at a constant, nothing lower. causing a high amount of desync. it’s annoying…
but i guess we gotta put another quarter in this gumball machine to make the servers run better. gotta keep buying stuff i guess -v-
