Spartan Ops online is a fail..

343… You had three years to make this game… That’s three years to look at Halo:Reach’s issues and three years to fix those in Halo 4. Yet, you didn’t fix the lag in online co-op matchmaking… It was the most frustrating thing about Reach’s Campaign and Firefight… Not a single improvement in the delay time, lag, or anything, for that matter. When will this be fixed? Or, will it be fixed? Please update it. It’s just making bad impressions for first time buyers of Halo. If it isn’t fixable, explain why? Simplify it if its too big of a programming/networking explanation.
Thanks,
Tropic

Maybe people are just tired of hearing people hate the game.

Well,what OP posted is why it’s stopping me from playing SO.Considering the horrible lag,it simply makes me want to avoid it.Gears of War 3 for example,it’s campaign i’ve finished over 20 times and still play if from time to time.Why?Perfect connection oh wait nevermind such things never exist in halo

Please don’t bump your thread, it’s considered spam.

The only thing that sucks about it is the recycled maps, and the terrible dialogue in the missions.

That one episode in Chapter 2. Where that marine with the face mask is like “I’d settle for an evac right now”. The way he walked and shook his head reminded me of a cheesy COD game. The cinematics are the best thing about S-OPS however.

However, why was there no firefight? I can guess. They wanted to make an online ONLY (Spartan ops) mode instead of a both offline and online mode (Firefight) just to encourage more people to buy online subscriptions. Shame on you -Yoink!-.

Fun Fact: It’s not the game’s fault you’re lagging, it’s your connection.

> Fun Fact: It’s not the game’s fault you’re lagging, it’s your connection.

It obviously isn’t my connection- it always has an open nat, and has 4-5 bars. It isn’t my connection. I wouldn’t have posted this if I didn’t have a logical reason. It was that way in Reach too. Who gets the best connection always depends on the host it seems, because sometimes I have pristine connection, while other times its up to a 1 second delay…

HAHA he got in trouble for bringing back up a serious issue! Wow you Moderators sure as hell are great!

As for the OP I agree, the lag in many aspects of the game is sometimes…ridiculous. Also I feel like the Spartan Ops missions are just a huge joke. Not fun what so ever. Hell, Firefight was a lot more fun than this garbage.

Naw, it makes sense they’d do that. Just annoying… And I totally agree that none of the SO missions are actually “fun” at ALL… It’s sad they’ve replaced FF with such a crappy wanna be. All the missions are the same:
Objective 1: Kill this.
Objective 2: Push this button.
Objective 3: Go here.
Objective 4: Kill.
Etc…,
Epic FAIL.

I agree with you on that moneymaking excuse. It’s just another way to get more Gold members.
And there’s another thing that I forgot to mention! They’ve reused just about EVERY SINGLE CAMPAIGN level! Seriously 343i? There’s lazy, and there’s sloppy, and then there’s THAT. You could of at least added ONE episode of all new maps.

Yeah the lag is so damn annoying besides the terrible dialogue. I wish Halo would go ahead and drop the mature rating, because its far from it. The episode (not sure which), but Spartan Miller yells out," Hey no fair!" or " where’s all the bad guys", like a little -Yoink-. I have never encountered military personnel that talk that way or would expect from whats to be a Spartan bad -Yoink- -Yoink!- speak like that.

Its not just lag. The map Complex seems to be riddled with glitches. Either teammates or I get trapped in walls or enemies that are not there and just dancing guns shooting and throwing grenades at you. Its not just Spartan Flops game type this happens. I didn’t know till I saw on here that you have to be online to play the missions. That is a serious crock of poop.

Farcry 3, now there’s some serious co-op.

Definitely not right that MARINES are calling huge, menacing, alien, badash enemies… Bad guys… ._.

OP, what you fail to relize is that the system has to keep up with all the enemies and allies. There is simply no fix to the lag unless they make it COD’s restricted physics.

1 more thing: Have you ever coded anything, have you ever had any say in the design process of Halo, I doubt it. There is no true reason to complain about lag because it is either your connection or something like Firefight which like I said: can have a 100 enemies at one time.

It doesn’t matter how many bars you have, it depends on: who is your provider and where do you live in. If you had fibre optics connecting a ten foot span from the tower which is on the highest point in your immediate 5 mile radius, (which I doubt) you would have a great argument.

porque al jugar halo 4 en xbox live no salgo con mi rango (sr-78) sino con este rango (sr-1)??

You shouldn’t have to have the best internet speed available to be able to not lag horribly in every game of spops.

este codigo (6430C423-BC2A-48CF-B65B-76ABC47136BD) que error es??

The lag in Spartan Ops matchmaking is pretty bad . . .

Hope it gets fixed. Spartan Ops is an enjoyable experience but the horrible lag takes too much away from it.
