UNABLE TO JOIN (the request to join has timed out)

Games Halo 5: Guardians
1

Okay, so I really feel like I’m going to love the game, however, 9/10 times I join a match I get kicked from the match and it says UNABLE TO JOIN the request to join has timed out. In game, prior to this happening, things will go quiet (no gun fire or anything) and everyone will be running aimlessly in a straight line right into walls. Then it either recovers, or I’m kicked out like mentioned above. I have recently tried playing other games online with no problems at all (Destiny, BF Hardline, COD, etc.), but for some reason Halo 5, and occasionally the Master Chief Collection, have been doing this to me. It’s pretty frustrating to say the least, and especially because it seems like an awesome game otherwise.

Has anyone else experienced this??

My connection is like 18mbps down and 1.5 up, which I don’t feel like is super terrible.

I’ve recently started having the same problem, I played other games to see if it was just my connection, but it wasn’t, other games seemed to be just fine online. Some games I would get into, and then I’d get kicked out mid-game or instantly, and it’d count it as me leaving the game and I’d get a temp ban, pretty frustrating…
