I always wanted to enjoy halo infinite in 160ms and with the fix that 343 has now implemented i am able to do so. Now i went from 60ms to a whole 160ms. Aint that wonderful. Combine this with the fact that i am on mnk and i have to deal with op aim assist all the time and now a garbage ping in most of my games you are left to wonder how i havent uninstalled this game still like the rest of my friends whom i tried to get them to like halo.

The only workaround for this is to stop playing Infinite, nothing is going to get fixed any time soon. Infinite is free anyways, so go play something else and come back later. All you’re going to miss out on is some irrelevant cosmetics that give no meaning or quality to the multiplayer experience.

Yet forcibly making other players games worse is okay for your enjoyment. Be thankful 343 didn’t go back through logs and start doling out bans.

Though your post is intended to be sarcastic this is where I stopped taking you seriously.

Then don’t play the game…
Why would you want to make everyone else’s experience terrible because of your choice to live in the middle of nowhere? Selfish af…

Who told you i knew at the time of geofiltering that it was ruining the experience for others? In mcc geofiltering blocked the servers you wanted to avoid without affecting other players. Thats why i did it and so many others. Lmao if you think i should be banned for not wanting to play ranked at 160ms i question your iq.
I have to be honest here and admit that since the update I am playing the majority of games on EU servers. I’ve been keeping track of all of my games, servers and ping, and the results are actually surprising…I just can’t work out why the game still plays and feels like a turd in most games when I’m getting 18-20ms ping in over 85% of my games. If anything, this proves that desync is not related to ping (at least for ppl with low ping at least).
I’m one of those guys that was an advocate of geo filter, but I genuinely can’t complain with the servers I’ve been connecting to…however, judging by all the complaints on here I’m also fully aware that this isn’t the same experience for everyone and lots of players are suffering as a direct consequence of that update.
Happy to post my connection results and analysis if anyone other than myself is bothered or interested.

This. I generally have 16 ms ping and still run into network issues when playing Halo Infinite. I’ve taken a break and dabbled in a variety of other FPS games - Valorant, Apex, Siege, Planetside 2, Steadfast - and whatever issues I’ve had aren’t consistent enough to fan the flame of frustration beyond the incident. In comparison at least once or twice a game I expect some type of network issue from Halo Infinite excluding desync - i.e. a notification about Packet Loss or Latency followed by my character face hugging the wall or taking a long walk off a ledge.
I don’t know who dropped the ball - infrastructure, developers, or a combination of the two. Either way the consistent frustration has led me to shelf the game and seek enjoyment in the arms of another game. One that doesn’t give rise to the desire to perform percussive maintenance on my desk due to cat litter net code.

Ive went back to MCC and Star Wars BF2. Do not regret it. I suggest others give these games a try too.

I’m in the US…and even for me here this is a huge contributor to why I stopped playing. Ping says one thing…game feels like that number has to be a lie. I experienced some really frustrating things in multiplayer to where idk if it’s connection sided or if I’m playing against a player cheating. Like matches where the player that just killed me shows up as "unavailable " on the player card, and its that 1 player thats also carrying the game for the other team. Its like that player is a ghost on the map man. Happened quite a few times.
The hell is aim.assist, I got that crap turned off and still smoke people on MnK

The population is dropping world wide. But to keep the US servers full and the “local population” up. Every other nation now needs to “ping” a US server before it finds you a match.
They fixed nothing, they have just made it essential to ping US servers and ensure the US player base is catered to first and foremost.
Sad times…

I wish I can magically move my country to America because it seems there’s always priority to queue into American servers.
What 343 essentially did is reverse-geofilter the entire playerbase so that if you’re not from the American region, you’re fugged. China Murica No. 1. Best country in the world.
Controllers have heavy AA. There’s plenty of videos on youtube showcasing the reticule literally moving to aim for the player at distances up to 30m +, even without zooming in.

We’ll let’s look at the intentional design decisions 343 has made.
-you lose aim assist when shields are broken
-you lose aim assist when jumping
-aim assist strength weakens by at least 50% when firing your weapon
All of this was intentional design to help balance controller vs MKB.
Truth is MKB players complain about controller being “too OP” in literally every single supported FPS game despite the fact that there are hundreds of FPS games on PC that don’t even have controller support whatsoever. But games like Halo are expected to bow down to MKB which make up a massive minority.
All this is also not to mention that MKB has an advantage in terms of latency. Controllers having 2-4ms while MKB having 0.5-1ms. Since the games servers are such an issue right now due to latency controller players actually experience anti-aim assist sometimes as well. Which is basically a players “hit box” lagging behind where the character is on screen. So sometimes you’re having to fight the controller just to aim. Another issue caused by desync.

That is some bs. 4 shot perfects feel like a walk in the park on controller while on mnk its one of the hardest things to do in the game. People even said in high onyx might as well not strafe and stand still as its a 4 shot anyways lmao. If aim assist is balanced then why arent any pros using it? Why do controller pros complain that aim assist is op and that mnk will never be competitive? Like grow up and stop spreading lies like anyone who denies controler destroys mnk in this game is full of -Yoink!- or really really stubid.
Don’t give up! If your friends don’t like Infinite, show them the beauty of MCC!
LMAO aim assist is even more broken there!
Well to be fair, it is an American game made by a developer based in America for an American company whose servers reside primarily in America…
