Servers? Netcode? Hit detection?
I can’t play it.
Worst thing is that the H4 population is going down.
Are they seriously listening to us? the halo community?
Next console generation we need something cool like MULTI HOST idk. They need to work on something awesome.
Probably so many threads about this but hey! this is killing my halo 4 MM experience.
I felt like “I must complaint!”
get better internet good sir.
it is hardly unplayable.

This is the place to be if that’s how you feel.

Oh sorry man… my bad.
should i go to bungie .net forums?
Nah stay here, you’re in good company.
My connections are usually fine.
I wish i could give people that whine about these things my internet so they could see its their connection. I never lagg.
I rarely lag doe.
I agree with OP. What is a good net for H4, 100 mbs? Network or hit detection or host selection (im not expert) dont work very well in H4.
Lack Of Campaign Theater.
I’ve decided to delay my new capture device seeing as it’s very costly and I have almost no incentive to play this game.
Some nights are good… last night was just bad… almost all laggy games.
They should’ve included a ‘good connection’ search option, but they didn’t.
they need dedicated servers if they dont have them especially for an exclusive title. I sometimes lag but thats when i have a bunch of peeps on laptops in my house.
Last 3 days, Black screen and laggy connections most games. H4 is generally pretty decent for connection though.
I rarely have lag, and it’s usually because of other people’s connections when I do.
I just join or JIP a new game and see if the connection is better, it usually is.
Check your recent players list. You may have gotten some stragglers from outside your country. That happened to me today in 2 different games. One had a Colombian guy who and the other had a Mexican dude and both those games were literally unplayable. It got to the point where the guy wouldn’t have damage boost and 3 shoot you with the DMR and you would die. Off 3 shots. I’m slowly giving up on the game and don’t think I can wait for the changes. 
I played 100 hours of War Games Matchmaking, and experience little lag, even yesterday, I had no lag, I had a little lag in Spartan Ops Matchmaking, though, but not to the the point where it’s unplayable.
Also, Halo 4 probably gets millions of UUs a day.
With TOTAL(for everything, not just matchmaking) Probably peaks like 140-180k, and War Games Matchmaking peaks at 80-100k.
And no it can’t be population, making games laggy. It’s because 343i has built in Good Connection, Trueskill, etc… Which doesn’t work right, but drastically slows down search time. And Halo: Reach seems to be way less laggy, and it’s matchmaking peaks at 9-15k, with a TOTAL peak of 15-30k.

I can play Battlefield 3, Reach, Halo 3, Crysis 3 Beta, etc. ALL without lag.
In Halo 4, some days I get lucky, other days I don’t.
We need preference settings so that I don’t play with foreign hosts. 90% of the lag I experience is because of a foreign host.
