Seriously get tired of the lag switching becoming more common, I know it’s not my connection since tested it enough and I’m using a wired connection, it’s bad enough that the game seems broken like being splattered by the ghost that I literally just hijacked without being shot then having it instant stolen by someone that I just hijacked, being counted as run over instantly by the vehicle that I’m currently using which should be impossible or killing someone with a Br and it be counted as a Ghost kill or perfect kills leading to 5 seconds after my death…seriously makes no sense or double kills that I clearly only shot 1 person including impossible double kills on the same exact person that I just killed or the occasional teleporter that ‘only’ decides to teleport when they realise they can’t kill me…and they still die. NAT is open, upload\download speed is fine.Not saying it happens every game but the servers do seem to be getting worse, I’ve noticed this mainly in Btb. Whatever happened to dedicated servers?, it was never this bad in the beta or last year in the main game. Sure some people might claim that it’s not lag switching…unless it’s given host to someone’s horrible host due to failing to connect to dedicated servers but the fact is the servers are getting worse.
The other day I had just grabbed rockets on Eden and ran to the blue room where I see two people and have the perfect opportunity to get a double kill. Right as I go to fire though the game lagged me backwards to the stairs where I killed myself. It was awesome.
I run into a lot of laggy people that port all over the place and they always get lucky when I am about to kill them and port behind me. It gets so annoying.
I’m not normally one to complain, but yes, the lag is becoming ridiculous. It’s no longer a rare occurrence for myself, and becoming rather commonplace.
Is it the servers continuing their two month trend of Yoinking! the bed, or is it the population dropping hard enough that your matches are no longer as ideal as they once were? I dunno, both seem equally likely.

That’s odd, my lag issues never seem to ‘rubberband’ my personal character, it seems more focused on weird effects like mis-information and getting me killed based on facts that don’t make any sense, general weird kills\deaths, it never seems like reversing to me but more poor registration or teleporting of other players to go forward. I guess it’s like ‘rubberbanding’ from my opponents perspective which is confusing since I only see them moving forward in a teleport when they lag.
I don’t see myself rubberbanding much, but more so for other players; In location “A” 1 second, then the next second in location “B”.
So much for dedicated servers. Lag is the enemy to all multiplayer gaming.
The population is decreasing, so you are getting matched up with players who live far away which makes latency worse.
I have been noticing a bit of lag these past couple weeks. Thought it was my connection but it looks like others are experiencing this as well.

Xbox gamers are weird…
Madden is beating a lot of better games…
Halo is still around 11th its keeping its population pretty steady…
3 sports games in the top 10 lol
Destiny is sharply declining even falling behind star wars scamfront…interesting
yes it seems to get worse and worse. In December it was perfect for me then after the update there were issues with reqs not loading during the game and out of it.
Now the last few days its been really bad for me, i get an ingame message saying that i have bad latency and its true i never used to complain before but now o really see the effects of it, i used to win alot of 1v1 headshot battles but now my shots don’t even register and i lose or someone somehow escapes.
Hopefully it gets fixed or at least addressed that its an issue and being looked into.
I noticed this too. At first I never got any lag. But lately i have experienced some…and it seems to be getting worse.
Is MS reallocating dedicated servers elsewhere??
Played quite a few matches last night and I saw maybe one lag spike that lasted about 1 second. I would say the servers are fine.

That does seem to be the case, the updates aren’t helping Halo 5’s population.

As I said it’s inconsistent, the current servers issues happens sometimes but not all the time. As for these lag spikes they do seem short but in some cases barely playable.

True! It happened to me the same!!
yea the lag is extremely horrible ive never had THIS much lag on halo before. pretty sure barely any on reach
has anyone been having issues using reqs in warzone, keeps happening when i’m in a match & I can’t bring the weapon selection up keeps says loading
Lately they do seem to have gotten worse. It just doesn’t happen enough for it annoy me though.
Would not surprise me to find out that people are using lag switches like they used to in halo 2. There are way too many instances of “favorable” lag. Guy sees me too late, I’m point blank with a shot gun. Suddenly lag and he is on the other side of the room shooting me. I turn and shoot, he is hit then lag again and he is behind me shooting I turn to shoot again and lag he is out of a window. Game plays normally until he sees me firing a rocket at him, then lag and he appears on the other side of the room, but splash damage gets him.
