i started playing halo reach and all that happens is me getting destroyed, and i know about hitting headshots, shields, and movement. But when i have the DMR ill pump 5 shot into someones head when their not even looking and me and their shields won’t even pop and Im not being dramatic i counted 5 shots. and they’ll just armour lock or run around a corner just for their teammates to arrive and put 2 magnum shots to burst my shield then two more to kill me. i have a good internet connection( ethernet cable too). its basically a dumbed down game full of cheap -Yoink-.
It is possible because halo reach hasn’t dedicated servers, you get matched with people from all around the world. One of them (or you) is host. If you are, no problem. If someone thousands of kilometres away is host, you will have a laggy game… Internet speed doesnt matter, the signal needs its time to travel. So shots don’t connect or you don’t see what the host sees or players who are closer to him.
I also played a few rounds of firefight yesterday and some matches had a delay of about a half to one second. My Xbox is wirred and I got 100 mbit/s down and 25 up. (not sure with the upstream, should be at least 25.) So my Internet is fast enough by far.
Back in 2010 as the game was released, I had 50 kb/s down and 25 kb/s up what is snail speed, I got better matches in some cases lol. Because there were more ppl, much better chance to get a host near my house.
So it is not a cheap game, not your Internet connection, just the simple fact the host could be on the other side of the planet what causes these problems.

In 2018, there are two types of players:
- Complete Noobs
- Veteran players who haven’t stopped playing since Halo Reach’s release in 2010.
You’re either going to have to carry like a boss or you’re going to get stomped unlike anything you’ve ever experienced. I wish you the best of luck trying to find a happy median. Try playing with friends, it’ll soften the blow
Hehe im one of those 2010 veterans and I find halo reach easy but halo 4 even easier

I was playing reach a little bit ago I didn’t run into problems except for the usual problems one guy is playing at McDonald’s teleporting everywhere.
i couldn’t say what’s up man first I’m heading of this besides my friends complaining but that’s just them dying from sucking. We have good laughs about it though

To be fair I have both matches when I’m playing team slayer I have a match where I get 20 kills at the top of my leader board or I have a game with 5 kills and I’m getting rocketed in my spawn or the other team is moving all together so I cant get the kills even with grenades

That sounds about right. Its either one extreme or the other

If you are playing the Anniversary playlist the pistol is a 3 shot kill.
There are a lot of people that lag switch in halo reach. As for the DMR there is the bloom to consider. Some of your shots may be landing away from the head. I suggest going for body shots until the shield breaks. Also there is a big difference between the playlists. There is standard, evolved, and anniversary. In standard there is great balance and quite a bit of bloom for the DMR. Evolved is a mistake, I mean 343 messed with the game and greatly reduced DMR bloom screwing the balance of the game. They also made armor lock time reduce with damage and other things. Anniversary is set up to be like halo CE. Pistol is 3 shot kill.
whats wrong with you is that you’re treating it like COD where you just instantly shoot an enemy as soon as you see them, try using some strategy
This usually happens when the servers are lagging. Or there are no dedicated servers left.

Don’t mean to alarm you but Reach is P2P. There are NO dedicated servers. It is completely dependent on the host connection and how far away from the host you are. At least in my experience with H3, it tends to prioritise players from NA.
honestly, most people your going to find in the game are very hie ranked and will destroy you, its more rare to see a new recruit than an inheritor.

I agree, in Reach I basically dominate every match, but in 4, (especially on SWAT) I’m damn near unstoppable. And I hardly ever play 4, it’s just an easy game to get good at.

Not all of them. Some are Grifball boosters that got their rank by using only 2 weapons (that are melee), then, they go to the other playlists and… just suck at the game. It’s no surprise since they only learned to use 2 weapons. I got many people like that. In Invasion however, if your an Elite, camp for Banshee, because, since the Covenant vehicle spawns are unprotected (bad design), Spartans can just camp until the Banshee appears and the Elites will likely lose. REALLY bad design.

I didn’t mean it like that .-.
