Himoura Posted February 26, 2013 Report Share Posted February 26, 2013 Let me first just say I love love love this game!!! I am totally cracked out on halo again. However in the last week (game has been running smooth as silk for two months) it has been lagging like crazy!!! I know it isn't just me cuz my whole team will lag out all at the same time. It's killing my KD man. Ill admit my spread isn't great lol but dammit this is making me suck even more! XD I guess my question is does anyone know what is going on?? Any idea when this will get fixed? I been trying to talk my friend into getting halo 4 for weeks and now he bought it the game this weekend and its terrible lagging for him too!!! lol. Not cool!! I realize it may not be 343's fault I'm just trying to get an idea of when it might get fixed or what happened. Could be a$$holes doing DOS attacks who knows.

T O lR T A Posted February 26, 2013 Report Share Posted February 26, 2013 Dude, lately I've been lagging hardcore too. But that started around two weeks ago. This didn't happen before and I don't know what is up. You know what's worse. EVERY SINGLE GAME I HAVE BLACK SCREEN WHILE EVERY OTHER PLAYER IS STILL PLAYING. The game doesn't let me back in the game after around two deaths. That is how my k/d will die down. But since I've lagged too much, I've been lagging out of games thus damaging my win percent. I'm kinda done with matchmaking for a while. I love the game, but this lag is ridiculous. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FleshBack Posted February 26, 2013 Report Share Posted February 26, 2013 Lag has been destroying me lately. I never really had the urge to quit games until recently where the lag has been so bad I am going 3-18. C'mon, I am a competent player and scores like that because of lag warrant quitting. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRF BaDInTentZs Posted February 26, 2013 Report Share Posted February 26, 2013 I've said it many times. I quit out on any game that takes me more shots than necessary to kill. I'm a 5 shotter, period. If I'm using the light rifle, 4 shotter lol. I'll give it 1 extra shot in case I might have missed but more than that and I'm outta there. It kills my effectiveness for the team and destroys k/d as well and I simply won't have it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Himoura Posted February 27, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2013 Ya I'm gonna echo the post above. I'm a 5 shooter too. When the game is running smooth I'm flying up to a second level head shotting one guy 5 shots with dmr and sticking another dude before I hit the ground. Now I'm lucky to get a kill at all and coming in last. This is retarded. I'm not the best around at all but damn man I'm coming in first a lot when the game is good and coming in dead last when its lagging. Last night I counted 12 rounds to the head to kill a guy. That's how damn bad I'm lagging and Im paying for turbo Internet through time Warner. This is such a great game but not having your shots register is killing me. Btw on BF3 I have yet to experience any lag. So I don't think it's me or my connection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRF BaDInTentZs Posted February 27, 2013 Report Share Posted February 27, 2013 Agreed. Halo has always had the worst connection matrix of any game I've ever played. IDK why that is. I know my location isn't exactly prime for MP, I'm literally in the middle of 2 overloaded nodes so meh. That being said, I've played all kinds of games online and it's always been the Halo series that has made me want to break things with whatever code they're using so yeah, maybe they should let some 10 year olds write it out. Something needs to be done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Himoura Posted February 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2013 Ok check it. I'm not just about complaining I'm about solutions too and I think I may have found one. So far I have been experiencing very little lag. The replays are still laggy and I'm gettn a little here or there but that could be my connection who knows. But at least I'm registering shots waaay better and my KD is positive again in all my matches so far. In the XBOX Dashboard go too settings>storage and look at the bottom for "device options". Press Y for device options and clear your cache. Not making any promises but this could help. I will need to play a lot more games to be sure but so far it's working OMGWTF better. I'm also going to try forwarding the Halo 4 specific ports on my router. I'm a network engineer so I have already configured Static IP's for all my devices so I have zero connection confusion between them. I also run MAC filtering which I believe is a lot faster then encryption. Yes someone could spoof a MAC address but I doubt anyone in my building is that smart. Mostly creepers here. I could make an unhackable network but I don't feel like doing any subnetting. Not to mention if a friend came over I wouldn't have any space for their device. Hope this helps. If it helps even a little it's a plus for anyone who like me is totally addicted to this game. XD *UPDATE* I just forwarded all of my Xbox Live ports. My Xbox feels like its a lot smoother to login to live now. As far as halo goes after I forwarded my ports I rebooted the router then turned the Xbox on. I played infinity slayer and lag city. Totally depressing but I after the game I exited back to dash and cleared the cache again. Just ran smooth as silk and got first place with zero lag (KD was back XD). I will keep playing and see how it goes. I just talked to my brother who didn't seem to be lagging as much as the rest of us and that ****bird has been clearing his cache everyday and not saying a word lol. So idk. Ill post again with more results but so far it seems that clearing the cache def helps a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ＪＯＳＨ Posted March 1, 2013 Report Share Posted March 1, 2013 I have been getting all kinds of weird things lately from XBL. I agree with the above poster, Halo does have the worst lag issues of any other franchise. I was in a game a little bit ago and was shiffting all over the map. I also had this moment where I got damage boost and unloaded an entire clip into an opponent and he killed me instead. -___- Ive been getting these constant status codes from XBL that say " Content is temporarily unavailable". Ive even gotten lag on BF3 and was even diconnected from XBL a few times while trying to start up the game. Ive tried many solutions countless times and nothing seems to help. Someone told me that microsoft got hacked so maybe thats what all the issues are do to. But who knows? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Banehalo Posted March 1, 2013 Report Share Posted March 1, 2013 i hate when you are disable from playing i can't do anything when i'm just playing but with my friends it won't do it as much and why does everyone else move when your disable it shouldn't be that way it shouldn't. overall i love the game but 343 has to start figuring the bugs and orgnizing them so they can handle them one at a time right now they are doing all they can to just make sure we the halo fans don't go ape cause the servers are down and everything is broken.
