Ridiculous amounts of lag

Ever since Firefight I’ve been getting a lot of laggy connections people will teleport or skitter step, shots will not hit people when they should and other annoyances. Just today I had an FFA match where a player teleported through a wall, yesterday I decided to test it out and shot a stationary spartan in the chest with a Magnum. At least I thought I did since he didn’t react to it at all and I didn’t get a hit marker, to summarize my connections had been fine before the WZFF update but since it launched they’ve been crap. Has anyone else noticed an increase of poor connections or is it just me ?

Maybe it’s your wifi.

I’ve checked the internet and nothing is wrong with it :confused:

maybe this is why idiots get to kill me cuz my headshot somehow fails to register and they happily end up shooting me instead

It might be. I’ve had several gunfights end with: I hit four shots and on the fifth shot the gun just doesn’t fire and I stand there for a split second then die. It honestly might be lag compensation but idk

this is an accurate description of what happens to me…like u said, the shot what was supposed to kill does not register and i, not knowing that, press the reload button and my avatar happily reloads her weapon while i watch myself being gunned down by the person i was supposed to have killed

Make sure that your XBOX’s NAT is set to open. I had to do this along time ago, and it did reduce the amount of lag.

The same thing has been happening to me randomly for about 2 weeks now … Some of it may have to do with you getting teamed up with people in other countries. I’ve noticed that since school has started the daytime population must have gone down. It takes me longer to get a WZ game, also I hear quite a bit of spanish players talking. The same thing happened to me when they took off region lock.
Like McFlucknuckles said…Your NAT type needs to be open or the same thing will happen.

Yeah I’ve experienced the occasional game where I put 5 shots into people and none registered. I’ve also experienced game where the game froze and I was kicked from the match. Most of the time I’m ok but I have noticed an increase in these games.

Oh yeah, and ghost melees are a thing now too.

The game only lags when I get killed. The connection is perfect when I’m playing well. Without lag my K/D would be infinity.

I think people mess with their connection on purpose.

I’ve had games where people are teleporting so much they are pretty much invisible and the majority of the time they just camp. When I check theatre they are nearly always just standing in one spot camping in clear view but during the game I’m looking where they were camping but I never see them.

You took my excuse!..lol Actually my excuse is… I’m slow as hell and have no reflexes… “Ouch”… Truth hurts…lol

I made a thread the other day about the server problems, it’s been annoying me too!

I have the same problem, and just as you, it started when firefight dropped. My headshots don’t register, If i use a sword i find myself launching it towards nothing, dying but a shotty from miles away. But this problem is only on warzone, arena playlist, but not in firefight. it’s just weird.

Tbh my connection was better when my NAT was Strict but recently it’s been on Open

I’ve seen and had this happen to me. I saw Proximitty on one of his streams punching a spartan in the back and it made the impact sound but nothing happened. Also I’m slightly relieved to hear I’m not the only one getting wonky sword lunges

I was meleeed in swat once and all it did was move my body lol. I swiftly turned and got the headshot.
