I think I see what is going on and it sucks a lot but maybe someone can clairfy, where I point and shoot doesn't even work. I think since my ping is high the way they calculate it is to have my bullet and aim go where the actual shot was taking on the sever since it isn't shooting where I am on the screen at all. When I shoot instead of seeing the bullet go where I have shot it is actally 2 feet to the left and like it's from a different person.
No wonder i seem to die so fast before I can barely see a guy.
It's the only thing that makes sense and I can upload some pics to show this. It's just ridiculous though. I won't ever get out of platinum rank with this shit lag thing they have in place.

While I really love playing the MP I do think there needs to be some MM improvements. A game where someone leaves should not be recorded if it results in a loss for the outnumbered team, why do I get punished for someone leaving? Furthermore I'm gold 5 atm but I haven't had one game yet where everyone is in gold. Like I get that people need to do their placement matches but when I'm rank 5 in a certain division I really don't want the constant stream of placement people.
Still the gameplay feels great, just tweak the MM a bit.

SpeedyBlueDude, what of value DID you get from that $420 on REQ packs? Any legendary armor, assassinations, etc.?

All true
Just lost a breakout match after a teammate quit when we were 3 rounds up. Didn't get demoted, but I did lose progress to the next rank, and got a loss.
It's annoying.
I'm feeling the same way. I'm putting it down to ageing.

Railgun is the best
especially the special one that has 2 rounds in the chamber and charges fast, that thing is sex
...I wish I had the cert for it, I've only ever gotten it through a random weapon req
I think about 60% or more of my matches while in solo Q are with uneven teams. I am constantly on a team of 3. Very frustrating at the least. Right now solo q in this game is stupid with all the quitters and afk. I hate ffa but that might be my only choice when friends are not on until we get some social playlist with drop in drop out. Also, why was shitty snipers a ranked playlist? How stupid is that? They should be social with drop in drop out moving forward. Other than that, game is amazing still.

wow, in shotty snipers when you get a server close to you and fight others who have a bigger ping the difference is HUGE, I was just running about getting shotgun kills from 20 feet away while they were hardly reacting due to the latency, it was like gears of war shotgun host.
Compare that to a game I had earlier where I was shooting first but the game never traded kills, something has to be done about matchmaking server selection

Yeah being in the uk my shotgun is basically worthless
I would much rather prioritise connection over matchmaking speed but 343 seems to think speed is the most important thing even if the matches suck
This game is so infuriating as a European. When it works I fucking love it but it feels like 80% of matches are US. It's like playing handicapped every match. I'm not saying I would suddenly start winning all my matches if they weren't US and certainly a lot of games I just get outplayed lag or no lag. But still, it shouldn't be like this. I don't want lag as an excuse, if I get dicked on I want to know it's because I got outplayed.

Who said that the bullets come from your server position and not your own game's? because that's so true, I have some replays showing exactly that.
That buildup lol.

Came down from a 3-0 game of breakout to win 5-4.
Team mate threatened to commit mutiny at 3-0 point.
I never lost belief.
Kevin Costner to star in film.
Out 2018.

I was playing a match of shotty snipers and running around farming shotgun kills, me and the enemy were running at each other but I shot super late and got the kill without him even being on screen, in the theater video my projectiles shot out 90 degrees from my position and hit the guy, you can see in this screenshot here:
Video of the kill from theater mode.
Some things come to mind here, was the magnatism that strong that 80% of my bullets shot him off screen? or is this due to server location shooting since I was moving fast the server might have seen me half a second behind where I really was?

Are any Kiwis/Aussies ever getting migrated to the US servers?
I never do, but in turn get no games after about 11pm except maybe in Slayer and Warzone occasionally.
I would take the ping hit if it at least tried to put us into outside region games if none are available in Oceania.

...lacks reading comprehension.
There are no achievements for legendary, just for beating all the levels on legendary.

I usually like AngryJoe, but I'll skip everything that he has to say about H5. His review was so biased and misinformed.
I'm also not giving any credit to whatever Ryan McCaffrey says, the dude doesn't wanna be left where he stood being the only idiot defending Halo 4 with his 9.8 review, so he's being overly harsh this time around.
can't be a server location shooting issue (I don't think) because the theatre playback is the servers interpretation of the data, not your Xbox.
It's gotta be a magnetism issue. Or maybe the server registered your trigger pull while your reticule was on him, but simply failed to render the animations in time.
Slippery slope rationales as a reason to hate on a game is stupid. Yeah, if they turned REQ packs into pay-to-win in Halo 6 I'd be annoyed, and everyone would be. But that's irrelevant to REQ packs as they stand.
I think he's got some fair criticisms, but has some strange rating practices...
For example, fear of how the Req system will look in Halo 6 should not effect how he scores Halo 5. Is it abused in Halo 5? Do you suspect that it's inclusion will inhibit players ability to enjoy the game? If not, rate accordingly.
Docking points because you didn't feel like the chief vs Locke marketing, was realized Is also strange. Let's talk about the game itself.
Also, it seems like he's grading Halo 5 on a "Halo scale" and not as an individual game. I get that the lacks some features that he personally expects to see in a Halo game, but unless he would dock points from every game that lacks those features, it becomes a matter of bias, and not objective reasoning.

Lol.
Last night was good. Got the DMR, ultra DMR skin, hit onyx in slayer, cha hit champion finally in slayer, and we got Unstable to Diamond 6 (getting his onyx for him today).
Or maybe the UI is just underdeveloped... I wouldn't jump to conspiracy theories just yet... There are major gametypes that we still don't have a release date on, I'm not surprised Req management menus still need some work.

So pumped for bc and btb next week.
Very nice. The skin plus cert was a killer combo.
After following some advice someone mentioned here a few days ago about consistently checking your surroundings and "decreasing your sights", or something to along those lines, I have been playing a bit better! I still get wrecked sometimes because I get out skilled, especially against teams who communicate, but overall I am doing fairly better. I even won a match of FFA :0 So I thank you, GAF.
Definitely a biased and mis-informed opinion on his part. The fact that he say's they "removed splitscreen without any warning" say's it all really. Was AngryJoe living under a rock the past 6 months? Let alone it say's on the Xbox Live Store and physical packaging that it's a 1 player local game.

So you won't give credit to either of those people because they rated the game lower then you think it deserves and you call him biased. That makes you seem just a tad biased.
