After a frustrating weekend of Halo server issues, I decided to give it another shot today. I played 7 arena matches. 3 of them were competitive and ended with a full team on each side. The other 4 were a 1v3, 2v4, 3v4, and one where I was leading in FFA and got kicked. The 2 warzone games I played had a combined 14 players leave. Due to the way the servers have been I think most of those people lagged out. Is this Halo 5 now? Is this what we can expect? It’s worse than lag, we can’t even stay in a game! I’m SR148 and have played a TON, but I’m about to move on if they don’t fix this. I can handle a problem here and there, but this is a daily thing now, and getting worse. It’s just not a good gaming experience in any way. I don’t know what’s happened in the past few weeks to the servers, but new content is pointless if they don’t fix the connection issues.
In these clips the screen freeze you see isn’t the game clip. The freeze happened in the match. Not fun.
Game freeze=death
Game freeze after respawn again
It’s not just daily for me anymore, my screen freezes at random times during the game…every single game.
As for the 14 leaving, it’s warzone and most of the people just quit. Almost every game I play is JIP, also the game starts and the enemy team captures the spire/garage, both teams hardly have any points…4 people quit then of course my team has an up hill battle and end up getting whooped.
But there dedicated servers that’s not supposed to happen lol … we know they lied about that,they don’t know how to manage there servers apparently

That’s some awesome game design.
My game also starts to freeze at random times now. Countless deaths in warzone because of it.
This always happens to me too. I lag out of games as soon as I spawn a vehicle or when the core is vulnerable in warzone.

343 has copped out and flat out lied to us about many things in the past, I wouldn’t be surprised if they lied about H5 having dedicated servers in the slightest. Not to mention now the game is running at around 40 to 50 fps randomly and barely runs at 60fps consistently, I can’t believe they actually cut out split-screen, just to sell a game with non-existant dedicated servers and a crappy frame rate.

I recommend posting this here. I play daily, have not encountered more lag than usual, and have not been kicked. If you are not wired, I highly recommend it the game is highly unstable on wifi.
How do the servers know the perfect time to have a game freeze so I die? That’s just masterful coding right there. Pure evil.

Thanks. I posted several links on there yesterday. I suspect that like the ban thread, that thread exists mainly to keep us from spamming the boards with complaints, but I posted anyway.

Do you even know what “dedicated server” means?
As noted above, please record any issues you have with games / server in this topic: Server Reports: Latency, Disconnects, etc
Screenshots, videos and links to games are encouraged
Halo 5 does indeed run on dedicated servers, if it ran P2P I think everyone would have caught on to that by now.
