So tried to get back into playing Halo 5 for the sake of maxing out rank, Mark IV…even though I’m not very fund of the game. (I’ll keep that rant to a minimum for now)
Anyway I’ve noticed more things breaking lately within the servers (bug similar to Battlefield games) where the music doesn’t play when Warzone starts (becoming more common).
Or issues like my vehicle being destroyed and somehow I survive, things like the game not registering the fact that I should be able to hijack vehicles then I’ve seen people doing some weird stuff on the servers like enemy’s going through ally zones that can only be accessed by ally’s, the occasional teleporting player…even though everyone else with-in the game seems to be acting fine.
I’m sure I’ve even seen some people being instantly hijacked without appearing on radar or being cloaked then instantly destroying a tank…while the person in the tank completely survives like nothing happened.
It’s bad enough when the servers are giving out terrible spawns still but dealing with the random mess in the servers is getting to be more of a pain.
I know this isn’t on my side since I’ve done the usual tests, have had this mentioned to me by other friends too in other matches so I know this isn’t an issue related to me personally.
I’ve even seen enemy vehicles where the enemy Phaeton just seems to vanish from the game, I don’t mean teleport a few inches away from their previous location like they usually do.
Yeah, the servers are pretty terrible. Something needs to be done about it soon.
Servers have been bad pretty much since the beginning of 2016. It sucks honestly, and they do need to fix it.

Yes they’ve got worse, weird that 343i let them get in this state but then again I’m not surprised since they did the same with Halo MCC, I’m sure they’ll let the servers get worse when they release H6.
We really have a few things wrong here. One is the servers are average at best. Second is the netcoding for the game is maybe average and that really is giving them more credit then deserved. Both of those two combine really make a mess of the game. Really the servers this game is on don’t seem to handle fast input and out put well. But again if the netcoding would be better that would help traffic things like this better. They really need to spend more time fine tuning the game to get it more accurate and perform like it should. On average most ISP are fine for the game…Its the servers and netcoding that are at fault and 343i really might not have what it takes to dial this all in. Because if they did I think we would have seen more progression and things would have shown signs by now of getting better. Instead we are seeing just the opposite… What are we at like month 7 and the game keeps getting worse… They need to sit down and start doing some patch work…

Sure it could be better but it’s become a lot worse over a period of time, it’s been hit and miss when it comes to fix’s, usually when something get’s fixed then something else get’s broken down the line.
The worst issue I see is the enemies ability to react to your actions nearly half a second before you can see theirs.
Is literally like they are playing half a second in the future.
This happens when you have a slightly higher ping to the server than them.
The funny thing is that this was barely noticeable in laggy games on past halos (with p2p system).
Is maybe fault of this freaking tickrate I’ve heard about?
Maybe Is too low? On which side (client/server)?
Unfortunately only 343 knows…

Tick-rate?, don’t think I have heard anyone throw that term around before when it comes to dedicated servers.
Not sure about about them seeing my movements before me but I have noticed spawns being literally in the worst places which makes it harder to counter, players seemingly instantly knowing where I am just as soon as I spawn with literally minimal room to counter before being over-run.
I’ve heard about it just few days ago. Do a little search to understand what it is.
If you search even more you’ll see plenty of posts of people explaining how this parameter was initially the greatest responsible for the BF4 and Rainbow 6 multiplayer issues and even overwatch beta.
For the enemy able to see you first trust me, it’s a fact.
Even shots behind corners or walls are a consequence of latency and maybe tickrate.
I blame this parameter because I experienced games where latency in bullet registration or grenade throw was noticeable but way better than hundreds of game I played in the past halos.
A latency like this cannot explain this huge gap between what I see and what enemy see Instead. I never noticed this in any other game I played in my entire life, even on p2p systems
I have been disconnected from about 3-4 games or so in the past week. I was then given a visit by the banhammer. Overall connection: Not bad but not great. Lag has been minimal.
I have also had the problem of no warzone intro music, crashing during a few REQ pack openings, and wrong rank showing when leveling up.
I have had this game for a few weeks, were these problems in the beginning?

Not had end-game disconnects but I have had issues where a map has failed to load sometimes, even weird graphic changes to my armour when finishing a match like it would show my armour as gold or complete black…even if the choice for black doesn’t exist as a choice in game or I would have picked it. Had many other issues like delayed REQ’s showing up after match too. Servers have started teleporting people now too…weird because I remember 343i was supposed to have dedicated servers for Halo 5.

Yeah a lot of weird things have been happening. 343i is hopefully aware.
I disconnected from a FFA match and got banned. The servers seriously need to be fixed.

Yes I’m sure they will be aware…whether they fix it that’s another story altogether. The problems from the servers have been on, off since launch and it was pretty bad around December into February. The ironic part is I made a similar thread nearly 6 months ago and the old problems are returning.

Well keep making them it helps keep 343 aware.
It been a while since thing start getting bad. I have kill people 10 seconds after they kill me…

Sure but like everything in this game…343i really don’t listen to the fans. To this day fans still rant about Halo MCC’s servers and yet 343i have done nothing with the game in a long time and I’m sure they will treat H5 the same when they move over to H6. It certainly feels like as long as people waste money on their pointless REQ system then they won’t really care.

I hear you.
I think the problem is that everyone on the forums has their image of “Halo”, and these “Halos” often have major differences.
343 cannot cater to everyone. When they do listen to a group of fans, they aren’t listening to the opposite group. 343 has the task of picking through the criticisms to see which have to most merit. Many things from Halo 4 have been removed (loadouts, abilities, ordinance) and many features have been added (ranking, competitve arena, social playlists). Many of these things were asked for, and they have listened. Be patient.
For the MCC and Halo 5 servers however, there is a unanimous decision that they should be working, I agree with that.

Sure but some of the greatest requested feedback’s have been ignored when it comes to H4,5 like playable elites and I seriously doubt they’ll bring it to H6. Either way 343i should sort out their servers since it’s make the games less, less tolerable to play…it’s bad enough that I have to farm through the armour pieces just so I can get the classic Mark IV armour since I really can’t stand going through all the REQ junk.
