> Depends, could be the host, your connection, <mark>343i trolling you</mark>, hackers, etc. I play split screen with my lil bro and we almost never have lag issues.
If that is true, I’m not laughing. I’m on a 14 day trial that my friend gave me, I do not want to put it to waste.
Halo did become quite laggy for me in the last week or two. To ridiculous amounts.
Just imagine you’re playing SWAT and shoot a guy in the head. Then he kills you. And in the short time after you’ve died and before you respawn, that guy drops dead and you get the points for shooting him in the face. Sounds awesome, right?

Exactly what happened in my 2 games I played. 2 body-shots with Sniper and didn’t go down. So I switched to my BR and went for headshots. I died first, and then the next second he dies.
EDIT: To everyone that says/thinks I missed shots or blaming on lag, well I went into Theatre and my 2 Sniper shots did hit him in the chest, and blood came out.
Well whats your internet speed/ping like, and is it FPS lag/delay or internet lag, if its FPS lag then its just the game but if ure in the game and ure red bar or your ping isnt less than 50 its probably ure net

Just checked and my Ping and it’s 66, that’s my usual speed(65~70). I believe it’s not my connection, and I’m not having frame-rate lag at all. It’s just my shots aren’t registering, and it’s annoying.
I drilled a guy in the head with 8 sniper rounds before he dropped because of this…
It’s because the population is too low to match people into optimal matches anymore, at least connection wise. But you can just check who is host in the lobby, just press X while the voting takes place, and the person at the top of the list is host.
Go to the gamercard and check their location, and if they are from a place you don’t connect well to just leave the game. This sounds like its unfair for the other people on your team, but hey, 343 didn’t put any search filters so what else are you supposed to do, besides suffer through laggy match after laggy match.
I’m going to give it another try… going to be pissed if it still exists.

Did not know that, that is very helpful information thanks.
Try clearing your system cache, it should help a bit with any latency.The lag wont go away but it shouldn’t be as bad as it is now.
Though not much you can do with the crap netcode and no dedicated servers.The no regional filter sucks a tad bit too.Not to mention the fact the population is very low.A bunch of factors play a role that cause the horrendous amount of lag in some games.
Try what i suggested, it wont hurt to try it.If ya wanna learn how go HERE.
> Did not know that, that is very helpful information thanks.
Yeah I figured it out after some trial and error, after I noticed the person at the top of the list isn’t sorted alphabetically like everyone else. Unfortunately not everyone has their location on their gamercard, but it’s better than nothing.

Just got out of a game and like you said, I was host in my last game, and did not experience any lag whatsoever. About to search for another game, and hope there is no lag even if I’m not host.

Oh, didn’t know 360 had a system cache lol.
halo 4 servers wouldnt be the problem, id say the second biggest issue would be the population but more so ive noticed this game can pick some silly hosts. Back in the days of halo 3 i lagged but even still it wasnt too bad even with my 1-2mb 50-100 ping, as a guy with 66 ping you shouldnt be getting picked for host, internet speed is honestly more than likely the thing affecting you the most with host selection and lower population than halo 3 (hence why i believe halo 3 to be a less laggy game in general even with my poor connection back in that day) being second and third. I have 60 mb 10 ping internet and even when a laggy host is selected the advantage a host can sometimes have is literally non-existant because that persons internet is probably terrible and they r laggin themselves. that host tip is a good find ty sir, i have a good connection so will be interesting to see how often i get host and to see if when im not host the game lags.
woohoo, i didnt know about the “how to see if I am Host”-thing. I will also try to clear my cache folders. after then i ll post if it changes something or not. i have the same problems as <mark>Kei as in K</mark>. Would be cool if it works 
I haven’t had a problem after the first two games I’ve played… guess it was just dumb-luck for having my first two games laggy as hell.
The last couple of games I have played havent been that bad even spartan ops has been pretty good.
hmm ok, but i play since the release of Halo4 and got these problems since day 1 
sometimes it works perfectly, and sometimes, lot too often, it’s terrible.
i never get lag
I’ve been palying HALO for the last 7-8 years. Over the same time period I’ve also been meeting up with friends every second thursday online. I must say, that lately the lagging has been really worsening. I also observed a rapid decline in gamers but I believe that the numbers don’t always really reflect the true gamers online. I had the experience, that I would start matchmaking and some list such as Big team would only have 500 gamers playing the list. 1 hour later, the gamers number in that list increased to 8.000. I honestly believe that there is a server and paring issue.
I know, the laggin issue is also due to the swindling number of gamers. I really don’t understand, why 343 doesn’t bring back a competitive and social playlist. When I play with my friends (we range skill wise between 36 and 118) it can take for ever to find a game and when it does, the other players skill average is between 125 and 130. I don’t mind a challenge but it can kill your teams motivation, if you always have to play games against 130s.
We really need a true skill ranking system back and also a free for all skill play system. Don’t get me wrong, I love Halo 4 but this is also the same reason why Halo is not what it is used to be in the MLG league.
Just saying
