So basically upon starting up Halo 5 today, I’ve noticed the servers were acting a bit weird with the retrieving data loading screens, red helmet emblems for other players, etc. It seemed to die down a little bit when I restarted my game but there were still some issues here and there but nothing too bad. So I decided to play some social CTF for a bit before I had to get on with other things for the day. I was doing alright going positive in most of my games and winning and losing a fairly equal amount of times. I wasnt really in a competitive mood anyway so this was alright for me.
Now I believe I played around 10 games with no issues at all other than my post game carnage report not loading after most of my matches but it didn’t really bother me so I decided to say what the heck I’ll put on one of my boosts which was my Ultra Rare Victory RP boost. I was feeling a bit confident so I dove into the next game and it started off great with my team getting 2 caps within the first 3 minutes of the game. Then it started going downhill from here. The players on the other team started actually playing as a team and ended up capping 1 flag and I was continuously getting spawn killed. I was not going to give up however because I really wanted that victory.
Then out of nowhere my game started to lag terribly. Getting shot through walls, rubberbanding all over the place, my shots not registering, you know how it is. This got so bad to the point where my whole game just freezes and I get disconnected from the game. I was pissed. Not only was this frustrating because I have one of the best internet providers in my neighborhood and have NEVER had lag issues with this game before, but it was also infuriating that this disconnection had to happen as I decided to put on my only Ultra Rare Victory RP boost. So I ultimately decided to just turn off my Xbox and call it a day. I wouldn’t be surprised the next time I sign into Halo 5 I’ll get a ban from leaving matchmaking. Has anything like this ever happen to you guys?
