Matchmaking Going Bonkers Today (Saturday)

Games Other Halo

Starting Map, Voting, Starting Map, Voting, Starting, HANGING,…

Seems that the stupid matchmaking system really is in need of some care and attention. I had one game where I was having no lag but the next game the thing goes bonkers trying to start the match and then drops a bunch into the game but leaves others still waiting to connect even though we could see the scoreboard. Then when we DO get in the lag is stupid.

Does the system at least TRY to choose a host that can support all the other players without having a fit?

It seems I can have one good game out of 10 and the rest have delays so bad you can pull the left trigger to throw a grenade and then count to two before you actually throw it. Of course when you EXPECT it to delay it throws it right away. I am sick and tired of throwing grenades at walls when the previous round worked fine. I know it isn’t just me because I see other people doing the exact same thing when it is happening to me. The throw it right at the wall next to themselves and suicide a lot of the time.

But the game starting loop of starting, voting, starting, voting is the most irritating of the lot. Makes me wonder why I paid for the map pack already.

Were you playing with the same people? I remember in Reach it would do it when someone’s disc was breaking or not functioning right but Reach kicked them idk if that’s the same for Halo 4

This is try number 2 (last post Waypoint crashed and wouldn’t let me log back in).

Yes, all the same people for several matches. Some matches were good and others were awful.

Oh and the last Dominion match I played was the worst yet. Rockets hitting the target and not exploding. Wraiths thinking they were doing the land speed record. Three mags of assault rifle ammo at a close target and nothing happened. Then everyone got sick of it and left the server one by one.

I am really tired of seeing the same stuff over and over. I really like BTB, but the hookups are so bad in about ten percent of the games, that it really ruins it.
I simply will not play a game that has teleport warp in it. And when a single game has three host changes in it or I spawn at the start well after everyone else has, then I know that it is going to be a bad game. I run a gaming hookup for my Live connection. I never have this many problems with my other shooters.
