After several days I gotta come back talking about the same issues.
9 out of 10 games I just get trash connection. No hit registration, teleporting, disconnections and failures to get onto the servers.
ive checked my internet regularly and I’ve called my providers to see if it’s something on their end (which it isn’t)
I have consistent 20-30 ms latency
50-70 Mbps download
Around 10 mbps upload
0% packet loss
MTU 1480
interestingly enough I don’t seem to lag on other games such as Halo MCC, destiny, call of duty etc. So if someone can give me a reply with actual support then I would appreciate it cause at some point I would actually like to play the game and not run into issues

Where are you located, out of curiousity?
I saw a locked thread yesterday in the h5 forums where mods were talking about how the search algorithms were changed a few months ago to let high skilled players match with people out of their skill range from different regions.

I keep getting disconnected from the server 100% of the time every game I start for over 2 weeks now gets disconnected within 1 min of beginning a match it’s ridiculous I’ve played halo since it came out loyal every title purchased and this is the thanks we all get after 18 years just pulling the plug or having extreme faults in the servers and no one is doing anything to fix ludicrous every time it says my console has lost connection to the server I have zero issues on other games including other halo games zero issues with my console connection anything I test zero issues from my isp would love to hear from someone at 343 to explain this -Yoink-

Hi,
I would like to know what's going on with the servers in Europe. I live in Greece and since 2 days I keep getting US servers on balanced and focused in Halo 5. Before that, I would just get fun games with Europeans. If this is not fixed, it's bye bye Halo for me, since playing with 300 ping to the US is just no fun at all! I already have to take the 105 to the nearest, but this is just impossible. I heard that they messed around with the matchmaking parameters for a bit, but please undo that
I think I am speaking for all the EU players out here, as everyone is complaining and decided to quit Halo 5. If everyone quits, the problem solves itself, but frankly this shouldn't be what 343 wants to happen right? It's like we don't matter in Europe, only N.A. matters or something. Anyhow, I am disappointed in this turn of events.
Best,
Betrayski

Ironically I'm now consistently playing International and I'm in the US. I'm currently platinum and have seen more Champions in the past 2 days than I've seen in the previous 4 years combined. Champions and Bronze. It's like matchmaking is broken or there just isn't enough population to matchmake anymore. In terms of the quality of the games, I either have a significant latency advantage against my opponents or vice versa. We're all getting lumped together from around the world.

I just played a few games. I talked to one guy from Scotland where latency was horrific for me. Then played people from Mexico and I wrecked due to obviously having an advantage. Then didn't know what language they were...and I got wrecked again with really high latency. It's all over the place.

    It takes me about 1 minute to connect to lobby services. Then, when I try to play multiplayer (any playlist), I am unable to start a search for a lobby because it gives me the error message "Could not find a server that was suitable for all members of your fireteam". I am the only one in my fireteam. When I try to boot up a custom game or a coop campaign, it gives me the message "Error retrieving data center connection quality information. Please try again later." I am unable to start the game.
    • Time & Date the issue occurred (if available)
      This has been happening 24/7 since 12/08/2019 at around 1 pm when I finished reinstalling the game. I had the game deleted for awhile, then got the itch to play again with the release of halo reach.

      I don't know, I am not even able to search for a lobby, so I have no way of getting in game.
    • Are you experiencing disconnects?
      I am able to view my friends list and all my settings and everything just fine. I just seem to be unable to connect to lobbies.

-I am connected wireless with no way of going wired currently. I know wired is better, but it just isn't an option currently.
-I have tried power cycling my xbox AND my router, reinstalling halo 5 multiple times, signing into different accounts, restarting the game, and factory resetting my xbox. None of them fixed the issue. I also cleared local save data, but to no avail.
-I don't know when the issue actually started, as I suspect it isn't just me, but I started experiencing it on December 8th and haven't been able to fix it.
-I suspect the issue isn't on my end
-I have made several thread posts now on this website and on r/halo on reddit. I haven't heard from anyone on the issue, only people telling my to reset my router, which clearly hasn't worked. 343 has been radio silent on the issue. I am patient, but I would at least like to know that 343 is aware of the issue and working on a fix. Communication is key...

I am having identical issues. Tried all the same troubleshooting that you did but nothing working. It’s been this way for about 48 hours. All other non Halo games and Xbox Live services are working fine, this is a Halo Server issue and it’s driving me nuts that 343 has had zero communication about it.

What have you done 343?
Living in Australia, it’s IMPOSSIBLE to get a game with decent ping. Mine is typically 140-180ms. My rank has plummeted to gold 4-6 (from Platinum 3-5).
To make matters worse, matchmaking keeps putting me against diamonds (and above) NEARLY EVERY GAME!
How the hell am I supposed to compete? Loss after loss after loss. Headshot count has plummeted, along with accuracy. VERY hard to get kills.
PLEASE, either give us P2P hosting again OR install some freaking servers in Australia.
THANK YOU, on behalf of every single Halo 5 player in Australia who hasn’t already cracked the -Yoink- and gone back to MCC for its P2P connectivity.

I have yet to finish a single match in halo 5 ever since me and my friends started to play again since 2017. How has the servers gotten this bad?? I just want to have more amazing memories with my friends. Plz fix 343i i know that it must be wild with all these amazing people playing halo again so its hard to focus on a single problem. But if you were to fix the servers it would make this sad 20 year old with a craving for halo 5 very happy.

Hello, for a few days in France, a lot of blank shots, for me as for my friends. In every match there is a player opposite who teleports. For blank shots it is often the last shots that do not pass. An example on this capture

https://gameclipscontent-d3008.xboxlive.com/xuid-2535411171834177-private/7e66c798-0122-4a7f-bc2f-cc72d6f7774c.MP4?sv=2015-12-11&sr=b&si=DefaultAccess&sig=kh0pg1zIQKW1CjBrKHrPpX%2FH2NJv1AcSpu6IRUJJU04%3D&__gda__=1577000726_c7027a1957eab717cc0af754d3ab7d81

before the ninja, there is a guy I puts him the first 4 shots without problem, he gets off the sniper, I'm going to look for him, my line is well red I shoot 2 times and no marker. In this action it was not a problem, but in many situations it becomes complicated. In a lot of early game matches, the connection seems good and towards the middle of the game, it deteriorates. Apart from the blank shots there are also too often shots of the butt which do not validate, like a butt hit in the back of the opponent with the sound of the shot but it remains in great shape as if it had not received no damage. In other games, being sheltered behind a wall you still take shots or you see them crossing solid surfaces at improbable angles. Small parenthesis also on the balancing of matches. Very often there is a big difference in level between the two teams, and on this side there I am rarely on the good side. Like there can be 2 champions and two mid diamond, facing a team which is mid diamond. In these cases there is little chance of being able to beat the other team and above all difficult to take pleasure. Losing is not a problem in itself, but if it is just to serve as a rabbit it makes no sense, even frustrating. The population already seems not very large on Halo 5, but having series of 5 to 10 games with this imbalance, does not make you want to insist on playing this game.

There seems to be no point in reporting anything as nothing really gets fixed anymore. I was once an every day player (since the release) but the lag and teleporting has become so rampant and NORMAL that I stopped playing Halo and began to only play GTA or FIFA.

I recently got a new headset for Christmas and thought I'd try Halo with my group of friends. The lag was horrible. The game cannot be fun anymore with this lack of oversight and maintenance.

Server issues.There is currently a server issue as when I log on to halo5 a red screen appears saying that I cannot connect to the server and that online services are not available. This is not because of xbox live because everyone else in my spartan company is experiencing the same issues

For 3 out of 5 games I play, when I back out after game is done to not wait the 30+ seconds to find a match. The game will COMPLETELY crash either booting me to dashboard or freeze and I have to manually quit the game. It's been going on ever since for months now and is very annoying. I've uninstalled and reinstalled the game but that didn't help.

343 stop being ignorant and bullying us by saying we are investigating. I have 750mbps/250mbps full fiber optic outside of my house brand new coax wired in my house CAT 7 Gold plated ethernet cable running to my xbox one x and yet im still matching laggy kids and shots not registering. Im not even mentioning ranking system how bad it is. Just fix the connection please. Release hot patch update with ping stats so we can see latency and match players with better ping to xbox servers. Gun fights so sloppy every stream i watch its very noticable
