Issues with halo 5 online

Over the last couple of days myself and many others outside of the U.S have noticed alot of instability in halo 5 matchmaking, before certain playlists didn’t work such as FFA

but now its worse.

the matchmaking times are ridiculously long for any playlist. today i couldn’t get a match on team slayer at all.
the matches i do get are laggy. im getting shot through walls, grenades are being thrown seconds after the animation as opposed to simultaneously.

please 343 don’t let halo 5 be another mcc.

i usually play this game everyday. but i can’t put up with this anymore, if this isn’t fixed soon then im done.

3 weeks is the deadline. or at least the deadline for acknowledgement of the issue.

if anyone else sees this and has similiar problems, report them and make this thread big. 343 needs to see this.

Looks like 343 is putting you on equal ground as the players in US. Long are we lagged out by slow or boosted signal from out side US. Watching players glich back and forth, then being killed with what seems to be one shot from a AR. I was run over once by a ghost, spawned only to be run down by the same ghost three more times. Same place, same spawn, same player. So believe me I feal your pain. Sucks does it not? Oh and don’t quit that game or you’ll get banned. If this is your first running experience with this then you are truly blessed.

the sad thing is the connection was perfect when it launched. so i assume it can be fixed.

it has to be, every other game my connection is flawless.

This issue is being addressed in the Memories of Reach, this has been ongoing since the removal of region lock. The patch notes are a little vague, but you get a choice between 3 match making preferences. The rrasoning behind it was to enable those who could not find games in their regions to play against others from a different region and reduce wait time. However, it introduced bad lag issues

I was wondering what I can do to fix a error I been having for 3 months. I go online to try to find a Halo 5 match in all types of game types but I get a message that pops up ( UNABLE TO MATCH , there may not be enough players to support a game in this Playlist please try another) and how to fix reputation that says please avoid me. My gamer tag is Spiecal EDd and if anyone has any ideas please message me back thanks

I have to be honest, the vague nature of the descriptions doesnt fill me with confidence. I hope ‘focused’ setting means i never have to play on anything other than eu servers unless i want to, but i bet i will hear plenty of americans on mics when i play my first game in the setting. I hope im wrong, but eu players (and many other non NA players) have been let down constantly since launch and its hard to keep the faith.
