I decided to turn on network statistics to see why the game is so unplayable for me now and every match I get into now it says Unstable Jitter with the Ping Ranging from around 95-155… I decided to take a break to come back but this game is so unplayable now guess I’m waiting longer now

No server select, geo-filtering issues, poor optimisation - there’s quite a list of issues that could relate to it

95-155 isnt the worst lol.
I would say it’s not always accurate as well because if been on plenty of 18ms yet have a horrible time getting hits to count.
Had one game of ranked on 22ms, was a close match then suddenly our whole team got unstable connection, couldn’t move and we was all dead and the enemy team ended up with the odd ball and we lost

Not certain what it mean, just got the curiosity high enough to start digging things up on it. Not something which has come up for me in classes regarding networking so the entire thing is new for me.
I’ve been having it now and then since beta but have gotten it more and more lately. Thought it was, and suspect it is contributing, streaming service usage while I play. That being a restricted bandwidth. But others with better connections seem to experience the same thing. We’re also soon in for an upgrade so that’s that.
Feels odd that it seems to happen mostly around enemies.
Though my ping goes from 50 to jumping franticly between 120 to 500 when it happens.
Geo-Filtering is a diy server select.
And server select has nothing to do with sudden unstable connections. Unless the server you end up on is in bad shape.
That however is not a missing Server select causing it.
And Geo-Filtering only ever affect the user’s connection, it literally can’t affect anyone else’s connection.
It means the servers Halo is played on are not optimized. Hence all the other issues going on as well.

Jitter/Packet Loss/High Ping - all symptomatic of performance issues in the network, and possibly on the servers. Very high resource utilisation on servers is one of many root causes. If the servers (which cost money to run don’t you know…) are at their limits resource wise you will see this.
343 will probably tell you it’s an issue at your end
