Why does spartan ops lag so bad for me?

[Redifer117]

I don't know why but for me and my friends whenever we play spartan ops the lag is almost so bad we cant even play, But during multiplayer we have zero problems and campaign is the same way, Any Help????????

I get the same thing when I play online spartan ops you have a problem with your Internet if not well I can't help you but yea my spartan ops lags so much online that when I move my guy moves 10 seconds later

I lag massively when trying to play Spartan Ops 'public' but when im with friends playing private its fine, really weird but it was the same with firefight on reach, custom was fine but it was a lag-fest in firefight matchmaking.

We have an article that explains the mechanics of why Spartan Ops and Co-op lags more than any other type:

I suppose that it's because one of your members doesn't have a decent connection, or your connection doesn't keep up with theirs.

Pretty much so, I have that problem too on several occasions. Though, I've had better experience when the online friend is closer (in distance)

 

But thats my main reason I never Xbox live it up for S-op and Campaign, (alot of game loads)

Same here. Also did it for 3, Reach, and 4s campaign while in co-op. Also Reach and ODSTs co-op firefight. But multplayer always works fine.

There are many factors that could hinder you online play.

 

1. your ISP: do they limit your tranfer rate, some ISP's have a limit in their bandwith.

2. do have sufficient bandwith to handle online play. Are you downloading or streaming on the same network when your playing?

 

Are you playing via Ethernet or Wireless?

 

For ethernet:

what is the limit of your devices that you use for internet connection to your xbox either or combination of the following: switch / modem / router.

Do the devices need firmware upgrade? some old devices were not design for gaming.

 

For Wireless:

what wireless adapter are you using on the xbox? g or n

update firmware of wireless router. open ports for xbox.

recommend using wireless n for xbox wireless

Wireless g speeds go up to 54 Mbps

Wireless n speeds go up to 300 Mbps

 

Hopefully these small tips helps

I think it is just laggy from connections coming together.
