I dont even remember the original games being this bad. Its almost impossible to win MM offhost unless you have an organized team or just VASTLY outplay your opponent (im talking pro vs scrub). Every match i get into its either we win 50-20 or they win 50-20. Its never even a close matchup because the host has the upperhand. It takes 4 headshots to kill with BR. 1 for sniper. I can’t count the times that I have gotten 4-6 headshots on someone with a BR and they don’t die. I even go into theater afterwards to check that the bullet connects but no damage is registered. Its happening with sniper shots too. ITS JUST NOT PLAYABLE. I love halo but if I get out br’d cool, it happens alot, im not a pro. But if I KNOW, and even verify, that I out BR’d you–or sniped you—and you dont die this effects the game play. The ranking system is bogus because I have lost plenty of slayer matches where I should have been getting twice the kills I was getting but did not simply because they did not register. Its just a joke.
Dedis would be nice, but for the most part I never experience any lag and typically have fairly balanced games. I agree the dedis need to happen though.

I have made many clips where people songe BR shots to the head more than 4-5 times hell this one person took 8 shots and his shield didn’t even change -.-
Eh, its not really lag i dont think. Think it just has to do with the way host based games register information. Ive had quite a few 4 v 5 games but none of that 3 v 6 -Yoink- happening lately so thats good. They are definitely making progress id just love for ded servers to be the next item checked off the list.

yeah thats the -Yoink- im talking about. its just really unfortunate. And i know its not really lag…my nat is open, dl speed is 20 Mbs, which is just over 2 MBs, which should be more than enough for online play.
Just played a game where the enemy team was literally teleporting every 2-3 seconds, shots werent registering on them BUT everytime they attacked us we went down like normal. Tell me thats not -Yoinked!- up?
I think the lack of hit registration has got worse since they started patching the game, in the beginning I had no problems in H2A, it was just H3 that was horrible.
What I don’t understand is how a game that has been supposedly designed for a server based environment can even work at all using a p2p environment? It’s also a bit naughty of MS to shout about X1 and its server based gaming and then go p2p with MCC.
I’m itching to play this game, but I’ve had to stop because the frustration is too much and the console will end up in a thousand pieces in my garden if I carry on. It’s very sad! 
I also believe people are cheating, which is making matters worse. For example, I’ve seen people’s strafing speed get quicker and then slow down mid-fight or they suddenly start teleporting when you start shooting them. Even more sad!
mhm. i got fed up and tried call of duty out after the last patch. if i t wasnt for the spawns and that every death is literally “get shot in the back/side without any time to respond because you were unfortunate enough to walk where they were looking” then id have kept playing it, its SO much more responsive than this game. But halo is better when it works. Hoping they get it sorted out. If not, might have to go back to destiny or something for a FPS til h5 comes out and we see whether it sucks or not.
Halo will feature dedicated servers and 60 fps. Yeah right. I think that the lack of dedicated servers is enough for anti trust lawsuits. False advertising and all…
i don’t know what the f**k people are on about when they say ‘i experience no lag’.
H2 ANNIVERSARY HAS ALWAYS BEEN LAGGY FOR ME. BLACKED OUT SCREENS, GRENADE LAG, FLICKING AROUND THE PLACE. - DISASTER.
GET IT FIXED

All of you are just crying because you aren’t very good. We do need dedicated servers and it will make matchmaking better and yes there are issues with 5v4 and glitches with matchmaking crashing from time to time. The part about not being able to kill people and not be able to win matches becuase you arent on the hosts team is complete bull. All this is all of you crying because you aren’t very good and you get beat by people who are better then you…Instead work on your battle rifle and get off the forums and you might start winning games and being able to win a battle rifle battle from time to time, you arent against the host ever battle rifle fight so you cant blame it on that, so please enough with the crying and just start playing 343 has made tons of improvements over the last month or so be patient and everything will be fixed over time, crying about it on the forums does absolutely nothing…

That would be true depending on who you get matched up with. I have been matched up with people from California and I am in New York. If the person in California gets host and is playing with friends either from California or anyone on the West Coast, then the host and his/her team mates will have a significant advantage over me. As they are much, much closer to the host. After Update 3 I have been getting much more lag, I have been getting games with teleporting and grenade/weapon pickup delays: http://xboxclips.com/DestiniesReqium/bccb99b8-3dbf-414e-b3eb-a461203ca7f7
Even my team mates were complaining about the teleporting and lag in that game. The game needs Dedicated Servers, because it is obvious that the game has sub-optimal performance with peer-to-peer connections. It seems with every update match quality decreases because they are trying to get people into games as quickly as possible with a complete disregard for match quality. Launch night was butter smooth, actually connecting to Dedicated Servers.
H2A is perfect for me just saying love it.
