You would think with “dedicated servers” and as -Yoink!- money maker it wouldn’t be as awful as it is. Almost every game is plagued with lag and there have been numerous complaints and 0 responses. The MCC debacle shows they’re pretty good at not keeping the community informed. Half the time these “dedicated servers” feel like peer to peer. All I have to say is I NEVER saw rubberbanding in Titanfall. Learned my lesson.

Dedicated servers doesn’t mean there won’t be any lag, if you are getting lag then its your connection to whatever server you are connecting to.
Well, apparently several other people have experienced this issue as well. It’s probably because of the 129 mb update. I have experienced this once before the update, though.

Yes i know and i would like to know what data center I’m connecting to along with wherever in the world the people I’m getting matched up against. All these complaints of people with TWC and Halo 5. How many of these guys am I getting paired with? There is nothing to edit or see my region. I have a feeling I’m playing against people on the west coast (gamertags/ spartan ids ive seen) but i have no clue. I could see and select data centers in a different fps that never had these issues.
So far I have never EVER seen lag in H5. Not 1 single time.
TMCC on the other hand, was a disaster. But luckily H5 has been running very well for me.
I live in a tiny village - the wifi is basically mcdonalds - Lag is a problem sometimes for me - its not the servers, its my internet.
At this point I am beginning to question the legitimacy of these “dedicated servers”
Remember how they said MCC had dedicated servers too? Yeah not so much
Unless we get selectable data centers we won’t know for sure if they have dedi’s or not

It is for sure running on dedicated servers. Otherwise as much as people quit, you would see “connecting to host” or “migrating to host” or similar messages just like we had in TMCC.
If only you are seeing lag, it is your connection.
If everyone is seeing lag, the server is having problems.
That’s how dedicated servers work.

I’m really sick of this “It’s your connection” nonsense that gets slung around these forums in an effort to discredit people
We heard the same thing about MCC everone who managed to get a semi-working game immediately just said “git gud” or “git better internet”
well here we are a year later and that game is still broke and it still doesn’t have dedicated servers (I don’t care what they say)
If its my connection causing the lag why is it that H5 and the MCC are literally the only games I have problems with
I get better more stable games with Halo Reach on the 360 than I do with MCC or H5
MY connection while not the greatest (Australian internet sucks so bad) is sufficient for every other game I have except games made by 343i
that’s an odd coincidence don’t you think
I have only encountered lag a couple of times while playing halo 5 and of those few times the lag resolved itself shortly afterwards. It could be that your ISP has a crap connection with microsofts servers.
I’ve only had lag recently, but it is coming in along with other connection issues, so I assume it’s only on my end.
Overall I have been impressed with the smoothness of online play.
yup…this has happened to me before. only about three times though. It’s happened way more when i played the MCC, specifically anything in Halo 3 multiplayer.I blame time warner cable…just because i blame them for everything lol…and obama…thanks obama

Dedicated servers just make it so everyone is on the same footing, and no one has the advantage (Host advantage) It doesn’t magically make someones -Yoink- internet better. I think most of the lag you are seeing is from other peoples bad connection. It might not be you lagging but them.
In all my games I see 1 person lagging here and there, but it doesnt come up that often.
To be honest I’m really sick of the people living in the USA or UK saying that our complaints about lag are false. Of course it will work fine for you, the servers are probably a few miles from where you live. I live in Vietnam and I have no clue where the nearest server is, but lately the connection has been terrible! I don’t think it’s 343i’s fault in any way, it’s probably just the locations of the servers. The lag I have is much worse, and once it gets bad, it will kick me out of the game. After a while, since I get kicked so often, I get banned from matchmaking. It’s getting me really annoyed right now. I haven’t even been able to connect to a single game of FFA, and only have gotten into 2 breakout matches and 5 swat matches. The other playlists generally work alright though.
