This game is so laggy it’s unplayable online in a competitive capacity. The percentage of fights that simply produce a random conclusion is high! The bullet sponging happens way too much! Just the artifical position of bipeds which leads to you trying to beatdown someone who’s no longer in front of you on their screen is frustrating!
I get misfire with rockets, where I pull the trigger and nothing happens, not just when turning in a jump, but also when jumping in a straight line. This doesn’t happen with other weapons - although trigger lag does, where I get delay and had to realign retucle to head after pressing the trigger because my bullet is late. Wtf!
In addition. Shield recharge rates are random even when stood still - this changes game by game! Other peoples visible shield health doesn’t match there real shield health. Don’t tell a friend someone is weak, as they may not be. Info that’s trusted between teammates cannot be trusted! I tested this with a friends shield, we found that his shield was full when he appeared to be still damaged. He lives 14 miles away and has a grade A connection like mine - 152 Mbps down, 12 Mbps up, low ping ping times i.e. 14 ms to servers 200 miles away. 2ms jitter, etc! However, we’re in the uk, so that’s 165 ms from the US servers, if that’s true about US servers only?
Other issues are: Theatre mode repeatedly starting from another persons 1st person view!
Messages lkke “unable to authorize user. Only offline game modes available”! This one is new!
Bookmark file option not responding!
No bookmarks available, more often than not!
Game has crashed for me and my mate since the last update - kicked from matchmaking, risking a ban it happens too often, so don’t play as much!
Aiming is game dependent. It’s lag that makes the aim -Yoink- for me, I’m 100% confident of this fact!
Beatdown or melee works randomly. Sometimes they go in but do no damage, other times the game says “I know you pressed melee, but I’m not going to grant you one”! If you know what I mean.
This game can’t be classed as online competitive in the state that it’s in. It just hasn’t earned that crown, and never will if these issues don’t get resolved!
It near never lags for me and many others. Though if your in Europe I hear they are having problems. Point is don’t start saying “how can they seriously think this is competitive” kind of crap when its just you and a few others.

I’m in the UK and have had zero lag problems, even playing with US/Mexican players…

I don’t really lag, I just get kicked every once in awhile
I honestly have not had 1 single problem online with H5 at all. . H5 has so far run dang near 100% flawless for me online. I know there are a few threads where people from Europe are having major issues. One of the threads is about 300 pages long so it is clearly a known issue with some locations in Europe.
TMCC on the other hand was a nightmare. Always had problems with that game.
I have horrible internet connection (The ISP has admitted that the whole setup in our town is obsolete, but refuses to improve it) and I only lag when my brother is using his computer to download or update games on Steam. And it’s not that much lag, just half a minute of teleporting around.
I’ve almost never seen this game lag. Ever. Not saying it’s not possible (I’d imagine players in other countries may have issues - that’s sometimes the case) but overall, this game has maybe has the most stable online I’ve seen in some time.

Exactly. The only other game that I have seen as stable as H5 is BF4. Both running on dedicated servers and both are running VERY well. Titanfall runs quite well too.
H5 online play has been a massive step forward compared to TMCC. TMCC was very rough online. I always had problems with that game. But it was well known for major issues.

> yeah rubber banding and lag have been a problem the last week.
I haven’t experienced much lag myself but I have seen players rubber banding from time to time since release. It’s frustrating when it happens cuz I end up getting killed by someone else while I’m trying to kill someone who’s teleporting around the map.

A. It’s not just a few others, the problem is widespread.
B. I can say what the f@ck I like as if I bought the game and it’s not fit for purpose it’s my right to flag it up! If you haven’t got an issue why -Yoinking!- post here?
C. Just because you’re alright, doesn’t mean I should suffer in silence!
D. The title I used best describes this game for me and many others, and I’ve been playing Halo for many years, so I don’t slag it off for no reason!

So true…BF4 and TMCC were the most unstable unoptimized games I’ve ever played. It took BF4 almost a year for it to work almost properly when I had it for my PS4.

Perfect for me. Think the majority of my problems would be solved with an option to choose a server/region.
Besides that, lag also is experienced more likely on a good internet connection than a worser one. If you’re used to your 150+ ping, it won’t make a diffrence for you, if i join your lobby. But i’m used to pings arond 30 - 50 ms and I really feel the diffrence, whene playing against americans or my neighbor. So if you’re saying, it’s fine, there are no problems because even your crappy internet serves you well, it doensn’t prove anything.
*edit: Second part wasn’t directed to the one I quoted.

My point is that you said it like 343i is a bunch of ignorant fools and your making unnecessary but aggressive jabs at the company rather than just stating the issue. Correct me if I’m wrong. You did say they can’t class this as a competitive, well they can because in general it works fine. Every game has some issues for some people. Anyways I’m not here to argue. Good luck, but it gets annoying when people are unnecessarily aggressive in their wording. Again correct me if i’m wrong but it sounded that way.

Their point being it is your internet and not the Halo 5 servers that are the problem and there is nothing for 343 to fix.
