Is there a reason the servers are so bad?

So there I was in my fancy wraith ultra. Round 5 of WZFF 7 bosses 4 down still had 3 minutes, would have been an easy victory. Then it happened “Connection lost” Rip wraith ultra, Rip Warzone xp boost. Now I ask again. Is there a reason the servers are so bad? Other than “lol you just have bad internet” Which I don’t.

I like this game alot don’t get me wrong, but when this happens I just wanna slam my head into a Brute Chieftain’s hammer.

I am absolutely certain that Halo 5 uses the same servers as Pokemon Go.

Can I at least catch an elite with a plasma grenade?

Once upon a time the servers seemed awesome! But not so much anymore. Its all hit and miss now. I never disconnect though. But each game is so inconsistent from the other its unbearable. On a few other sites there has been talk that the game isn’t even running on dedicated servers anymore. They went back to P2P because of server issues. Which would make sense to what im experiencing… Just maybe one day this will get all sorted… But I think what we got now is all the better its going to get!

Zippy.

A couple of months back (In Australia) the servers were absolute garbage. Banned for no reason, disconnected multiple times, couldn’t get matches, so on…
But for me at least, it’s been really solid lately.

That’s good to hear. You guys did have it pretty rough a few months back. Even EU players weren’t happy. Do you get matched up with a lot of US players from the west coast?

Your frustration is totally understandable, but I still feel that it must be influenced by where you live (and as a result, which Azure server you typically utilize).

My Internet connection is very stable, I have two Xbox One consoles with open NAT, and after more than 2400 matchmaking games I have been disconnected about a dozen times. In other words I am seeing a reliability rate of approximately 99.5%, so from my perspective the servers seem to be quite stable.

I’ve never had a problem with lag or disconnects but now it is a frequent problem.

Any way to verify that they are still using dedicated servers?

There are multiple factors. It could be your ping, the servers, or your internet.

Hmm I’m not sure. I have heard a few American accents, but very rarely.
The population in Aus is no way near US, but it’s not terrible either.

That’s what I would like to know? ha ha. If there was away to find out. There is no way 343i will tell us. That would be a major step backwards. But there was an article that stated if they had problems with the dedicated servers they would revert back to P2P. Im going to do a little more digging and I will post here what I find.

Makes me wonder if maybe this game did go back to P2P. Did you play Halo4 at all? If so did that perform much like H5 does now for you?
Thanks!

Zippy.

The exact same thing happened to me believe it or not. I also spawned a wraith ultra on the final round (escape from arc). We were about to finish off the hunters when I lost connection…

I have had a very similar experience with my wired open nat connection when it comes to disconnects. However, there is lag, the req system is inconsistent, the game is unstable. That is due to ms servers. So yes, the servers are"bad"

I just don’t feel like wasting countless REQ cards just to DC in the final minutes.

Are you wired with open nat? This virtually eliminated disconnects for me.

Servers were unplayable today. I really should have just not played after the first couple matches because literally every game was laggy. Death after death in unseen frame studder, and I’m sure on their screen I’m probably standing still. Even if I was moving it doesn’t change the fact that I’m not getting my shots registering properly and the frames are dropping so I can not even react in gunfights. The servers were just really, really bad today. It’s days like this I just wish they copied Titanfall’s server system. #GiveUsRegionOptions

Perhaps the latest update came with some server bugs?

My nat is open yes. Maybe it’s on account that my Xbox uses a wireless connection however?
