Just starting playing halo today and the first thing I see on the daily message is that 343i is working on server issues. I hope they are fixing the random lost connection issues and such.
Servers seem to be in disarray which is a shame. Player population will continue to suffer more and more if not fixed.

The servers aren’t dedicated

Didn’t notice the message. Hope you are right.
You know I don’t think a week goes by without some kind of server issues. I have never seen such a mess as this with any game. The severs never have been very stable. So many problems that people blame on the game normally is all caused by these servers. The thing is the servers are the foundation of any game. What we have here is a very weak foundation. Even when they are working there not working correctly. You want a game to succeed make sure your servers are in order. Happy Servers = Happy Players. Happy Players = Growing Population. 
Currently we do not have that equation… :-/

Definite server issue, but is it caused by ms? There is alot if interdependence in there.

I agree. I want this game to have a fair chance. But how can it when the servers really have never been decent. Make no mistake the population has to have taken a hit by this…

The servers are slacking off, someone get the horse whip out.

I hear this with any multiplayer game tho, for me this is the best halo server I’ve ever used when compared to the p2p servers they used to use. Another thing I think some fail to realize Is no server is perfect, they’re going to run into issues, why else would they have maintenance on board?

You know that’s a good question… We just really don’t know who is in charge so to speak of these servers. I did call MS support about a month ago and they were almost like unaware that H5 was even on dedicated servers… It took me awhile to get someone there that knew a bit about it. He was a bit confused why I was connecting to the server in Texas while I lived in MN. He said there was no doubt I should be connecting to Chicago IL or Iowa… So the end result was that he said it was something on 343i/H5 games end… But he did take down a lot of info from me… But im not holding my breath! LOL…

I agree with what you are saying. It just seems the servers are more problematic then not. And to all fairness this is the first Halo game on dedicated servers, And im sure 343i is still learning the ropes with it as well… So there are going to be some growing pains in there for both players and 343i.
Been playing Halo since Halo 2, and I never remember Bungie having any issues as bad as 343 does with servers.

That’s true but I think this is the first time we have had dedicated servers for a halo game. Unless the MCC was on dedicated servers but I wouldn’t know because I never did buy that game. I was told to steer clear of it because it was such a mess.

I think there was with Destiny but briefly.

One could say it is caused by MS. Because the game was installed on pre-existing servers MS had around the glob. What is strange is if H5 is truly on Dedicated Servers why is it we cant pick the server we want to play on? That is the sole purpose to having Dedicated Servers. Being able to pick the one with the best ping. There are times that make me wonder if this game is even on Dedicated Servers. It sure doesn’t perform like it is and not having the control to pick the server one wants really is very mysterious. Almost like there hiding something. I got back into Halo just because they said it was on Dedicated Servers… What a mistake I made! lol.

It’s a very loose definition of dedicated servers.
I like that after a week long of pulling teeth and scratching for a response for 343i, things seem to be falling in place. You are welcome, from the rest of us back here with sore throats…from screaming -Yoink!-.
I hope they fix the REQ not loading.
