I really want to have fun with halo 5 but the last few days i just can’t, everytime i play i get either a really laggy game and have to deal with enemies killing me 10 meters behind cover or just getting wrecked for no apparent reason after getting hit 2 times. To elaborate my problem i will give you a few details . I have a 50 Mbit up and 5 Mbit down connection and am connected via a local provider. I live in germany and should theoretically connect to other european players. Now the last 2 months or so when playing warzone or warzone assault i get quite often games with considerable amounts of lag and sometimes freezes ( which seems to be caused by players leaving my team ). This makes playing in itself quite an ordeal. But what tops it off is how the lag influences the games mechanics. For example hijacking is nearly impossible for me because i get the notification to hijack at such a late moment that even before i can press X the enemy vehicle is too far away. The exact opposite is happening for my enemies when i’m driving a vehicle. I get hijacked in my wraith from enemies standing 10 meters in front of me and they just zap themselves onto my back leaving me no chance to retaliate at all. Another mechanic that is making Halo 5 less fun is the spartan charge and ground pound. Getting groundpounded in a matter of less than a second because the charge up animation is starting atleast half a second later (sometimes it’s like they just instant pound me to death) for me leads me to die a gruesome and unfair death. Same problem with spartan charge. Scenario 1: I charge someone and knock them back dealing them damage, he kills me at the same moment with a regular beatdown because he beats me first serverwise. Scenario 2: I get charged by someone and try to evade. I evade with the thrusters only to be knocked back anyway. Though i evaded the charge attack on my screen, he hit me on his screen, which most of the time leads to me getting hit despite evading.
It’s stuff like this that makes Halo 5 for me less and less fun over time because i see no significant change for the better. I really hope 343i does adress issues like this but i highly doubt it because it’s been like this for quite a while and they just patch everything else before fixing bugs in the netcode
I feel your pain. It gets worse with each update and doesn’t seem to be the least bit of concern to 343i

Except that they will be adding matchmaking preferences in a few weeks…so I guess it is a concern.

An option(region lock) they took away from us in a previous update, is being given back to us as a preference(and I’d be willing to bet it’s just a preference, not a guarantee) in the VERY NEXT update. That is showing concern? Seems they took their repackaged/remixed content mantra and applied it to matchmaking preferences. Until they address having too few servers that are underpowered for even the current dwindling population, this problem will go unresolved.

I hope it gets fixed soon. The lagging and being kick out of games is extremely frustrating!!

You are right, I guess they just want to -Yoink- us all. Lord knows people complained about the lock in the first place, then complained about it being removed, and now that they are going to give us a preference , regardless of how it is interpreted, simply shows they give no -Yoinks!- at all. Adding servers is not a simple solution by any means and it takes lot’s of money that they do not control.
I really enjoy when I trying to kill someone and a sticky grenade pops out of their back and sticks me. That’s the dopest.
