Lag in Arena is absolutely unacceptable.

So I’ve been playing Free for all Arena, and every game I’ve played up until the one I just did before posting was flawless connection, like the rest of my experience in halo 5.

However, I just got into a game where not only was there latency, but it was BAD. The top guy that ended up winning the game was literally rubber banding around the map. After the game I comment on how that was the most laggy BS match of arena ever and to my surprise I got agreements, from people that sounded like English was their second language. So I can only assume I got connected to a non-american dedicated server somehow?

Anyway I had a perfect record in Free For All to get qualified and for it to get impacted in this PARTICULAR way has me more then a little irate at the moment. I take my performance in this game-type very seriously and this is my first loss. Even though I’m not qualified I’m going up against nothing but Onyx ranked players so I assume that’s what my rank will be on the offset, but still this angers me.

Agreed. Most of my deaths are usually from me pouring bullets into someone, and then all of sudden dying a few seconds later because they instead kill me, and still have most of their shields left.
