Unplayable Halo 5 MP, latency issues. Lag

Games Halo 5: Guardians
1

I play a lot of online MP games and whilst I don’t have great internet, latency has never been a big issue and games like BF4, Destiny, COD have been ok. BUT Halo 5 is completely unplayable. Throw a grenade, it leaves my hand half to a second later. I can stand behind someone and unload with head shots and it takes (forever) for any hits to make a mark, but I can instantly be down with no hit shots registering. Regardless, it’s completely frustrating and I cannot continue to play unless I find a fix. So far I have tried:
Port Forwarding
Calling ISP to have line checkd
Tried Wired and Wireless connections
Changing Modem

  • all give the same result. A Mate says it is all to do with how I connect to the servers and there is nothing I can do about it. He is probably right but I am just reaching out to see if anyone else has the issues and can help.
    My speed is 10mbs DL 0.9mbs UL with Ping 7. Not great but like I said, I don’t have issues with any other game. Telstra is my ISP here in Australia.
    Any help would be great.
    On xbox.com someone suggested that I probably don’t have a dedicated server near me but my friends, who dont have any issues, live in the same city.
    Thanks

No idea what your problem is. I have not had any problems with connection except for 3 hours on launch for Co-Op servers, nor do I know anyone who has had connection issues.

Go do a detailed network test on the xbox and see if you are getting any packet loss etc.

Nil packet loss. I’m at a loss as well. Not sure why my mates are connecting nicely but mine is struggling.

I think you need to up your download/upload speeds.
