I know that this isn’t 343i’s fault, but the servers of this game are making me so frustrated. I was fine three days ago; I was playing Infection and I was having a blast. There was a slight kill delay, sure, but I was having fun anyway. Today and yesterday? Nothing but stupid -Yoinking!- lag. I keep getting disconnected from games, getting the error message “the fireteam has changed”. I can’t play a single game without lagging terribly or getting disconnected, and it’s driving me nuts. Hell, I can’t even forge by myself! 343i, please, please tell Microsoft to fix their -Yoink-, because a lot of people are getting super frustrated.
Sincerely, a very pissed off Halo player.

I agree with you, this needs to be addressed.
I would be curious to know what the play count on Halo 5 is now. All of my die hard Halo fans have given up on Halo 5, some even a week after launch. If they’re doing it I’m sure there’s more. I wonder if the game struggles to find an optimal match and this is why Region Lock was removed so players could find a match and play. Unfortunately, this isn’t ideal anyway.
I hope this isn’t the case. I love Halo, but I do not play games that lag excessively or one that ends up being 4v2 constantly due to whiney quitters/disconnections due to servers.

The thing is, the game was working flawlessly for me on Friday. Yesterday and today were just insane. And it’s not like the connection is bad the whole time; it fluctuates. I’d be in a custom game, minding my own business and having fun, and the next second I’ll be kicked out of the game.
I’ve tried to play infection 4 times and have gotten booted 3 out of 3 of them.
I don’t get disconnected from WZ but I do lag like a motheryoinker.
ever since the reach update I’ve had lag spikes as well. It hasn’t been too bad on me I can play just fine. Breakout is a bit buggy mainly at the start when I run up the grav lift I lag in the air all over the sky and every 1 in 5 starts it’ll lag me off and kill me. Occasionally a game lags me out but that’s happened I think twice since the update. One of them being in infection

What’s worse is you get banned for it as well.
It was awful tonight. Every match had lag-related glitches. Watching an opponent continue running toward me after I put a sniper round through his face made me want to hurl my controller into the screen.

I feel ya man, this is getting out of hand. I was playing some Warzone today on Apex 7 and I was doing work in the enemy’s Armory, taking out every single spartan out and when I shot at a marine’s head and saw nothing happen, I knew I was -Yoinked!-.
I don’t understand, why are the servers not 343i’s fault?
I haven’t been getting kicked but during Infection ill have people survive near point blank shotgun blasts. Is getting quite annoying.

They are dedicated servers, so it’s a Microsoft problem.
