We need better servers or more servers.
My shots hardly ever register. I need more ammo in the magnum because it takes a while clip to kill someone.
After I pop someone’s shields the rest of my bullets are useless.
People seem to be able to shoot faster and they can shoot me through walls or when I am behind cover.
Grenades take forever to come out and often don’t do damage so someone can rush me without getting punished.
Button inputs have a delay and I get so many ghost melees it’s infuriating.
It seems that connection and distance to server have far to much of an impact on gameplay and there’s nothing that helps balance these things out.
Agreed. Too many times the opposing Spartans are 1 shot and take multiple shots to kill. Shouldn’t have to shoot anybody 6 or 7 times when their shield is gone to drop them. Shouldn’t punch somebody who’s shield is gone and they survive!!!I’m tired of being punched once in the front and dying with a full shield. I’m tired of 1 frag grenade killing me, with a full shield!!! It’s seems my character is super sensitive and anything is an instant kill for the opposing team!!! If the ping isn’t equal the game shouldn’t be matched at all. Furthermore, these unequal advantages usually swell the heads of the opposing team, which leads to teabagging and spartan disrespect. This has been going on for quite a while now. Switched to a 1tb Xbox and an elite controller and still same crappy matches. Same dudes disappearing through walls, eating clips and clips of bullets. Is this ever gonna be addressed ??? Or is my money just gonna keep getting jacked? I pay my membership and yet unfair advantages have led myself to giving up on Xbox altogether. About 1 more week of dumb s!!t and that’s it. I’m switching to Sony
I feel your pain, I used to have so many quality friends that don’t play halo 5 anymore because of stuff like that and way too many switched to PC or PlayStation.
I really hope they fix this or at the least address this.
The last heavy aim patch over two years ago caused this and they have not addressed it at all.
RIP Halo

343 you guys use the worst servers on the planet ever.You made such an amazing game where the skill gap is awesome, the moving mechanics are so much fun and add so many elements to take advantage of. However all of that is negated by your trash servers where the outcome of the game is based off of who is closer to the server. You take all the skill out of the game when I have to shoot people 10 times to get a kill with the magnum. Lose so many games where I have 500+ more damage than the people I lose to. I understand the servers may be out of your control and the population is so small but enough is enough. We need Matchmaking to incorporate a system where it at least puts you on a closer server 1 out of 10 games. Furthermore in ranked please do the following:Please FACTOR IN THE DISTANCE TO SERVER when determining the amount of CSR you go up and down from a win or loss. The same should be done for IP prioritization if you guys are doing this. Reason being is you have people who live close to servers that have a completely different experience than most of your population that still plays this game.

> This is soo true. It has happened to me many times. I have popped an enemy Spartan’s shield with a pistol, At, don’t, or br and shoot them after and they still don’t die. I have also been -Yoink- through walls and get killed with only two pistol bullets from an enemy.

Seriously I love Halo 5 so much and they made such a great game but far too many people have had a bad experience and gave up on it. Now they ban people and censor the truth instead of realizing we want to work with them and help them make this a better experience for all. I really hope they would work more with their supporters because we are all hoping Halo 6 is a success but if they continue to treat their supporters they way the have it will be hard to convince all my friends to not only buy H6 but to play it for years. 343 we love halo and you and are rooting for you

Something a little contradicting here. First you say your shots “hardly ever register”. Hardly as in scarcely or with great difficulty. Then later you say “After I pop someone’s shields the rest of my bullets are useless”. It takes 4 shots to pop a shield with a magnum and for someone whose shots hardly register those are quite a few shots that registered. All you need after that is 1 shot.
I do agree though. Sometimes my shots are late or the enemy dies way after I’ve killed them.
Hey I wasn’t able to reply because I was banned. You have a valid point there about the contradiction. To add to my point about the game being affected more by distance to server and (IP prioritization if it’s a thing) You have at-least noticed that some people die later then they should have.
Now imagine how frustrating it is when someone who should have died doesn’t even die because of the above mentioned issue.
Its heartbreaking that they haven’t addressed it and something tells me Microsoft is a huge part of the reason 343 has dropped the ball.
I highly doubt a studio full of people who are just as passionate and love this Halo the same if not even more than we do would just ignore us and troll us like this.
We all putting our support and rooting for halo 6 to be great. They do need to listen to our feedback though as we are the ones who ultimately use the products.
