Grohlvana Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 So every single SO game I play, there's some form of lag, and usually it's unbearable. Like a full second delay of pressing a button to actually carrying out that action. I haven't seen many threads on it, actually none at all (but I haven't been looking often), so am I the only one experiencing this? Multiplayer is totally fine, it's just SO that gives me terrible, terrible lag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Giantsonic Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 Yeah, I get this too. The campaign/spartan ops netcode isn't the greatest, so if the host (or you) has anything less than great internet, or there's a good distance between the two of you, you'll experience button lag. I really wish they'd use the multiplayer netcode. Sure we'd get some teleporting elites occasionally, but at least it would be playable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yannie Boy Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 I'm in the same boat. I've been lately doing Spartan Ops Multimatching and been getting the lag every other game it seems. Usually hiccups around the start then stabilizes afterwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twinkie Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 same. the first couple of minutes, it's crazy but it becomes stable afterwards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RBmaster9345 Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 I find Ill get a lot of fine-movement lag. Like not enough where you cant move, just feels like you are on an ice rink. Makes it really obnoxious to shoot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kahn13 Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 (edited) The vast majority of Spartan Ops missions i've done online have had lag. Out of all of them I think i've had 2 or 3 that felt absolutely perfect (with some games being noticable but bearable). On average though a lot missions have just been painful to playthrough - particularly when you can't even move like you want to while Elites are running circles round you and aim assist plays tricks on you. Going from that to playing Solo is SUCH a relief! Boy I miss having a "good connection" search option. That really helped when playing Firefight in Reach, and this game really does need it too.

Burnout x360a Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 I played through the campaign with a friend from the US and only once was the lag so freaking bad that it was impossible to shoot. The lag in these modes has always existed and it can be really irritating to try and shoot watchers/crawlers with lag. I actually started getting pissed lol.

ecto69 Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 Today a few hours ago I played 3 person COOP and noticed a bit of lag it was very irritating. Not recall seeing it on prior Episodes (ie 1-4) It is possible that since I was the Party leader that may be the reason, as it was the first time I was party leader.

Weird if it is because the host shouldn't get lag being the host an all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xxJUSTINxx Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 I've had bad lag also, f!cking annoying and unacceptable for such a big title. Have they not learned from the past games? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Opiate42 Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 Weird if it is because the host shouldn't get lag being the host an all. I wish this was the case. Was playing ops last night with a bud and hosting myself I was feeling it. Every time my own screen stuttered, he'd get a "losing connection in 15 seconds" countdown. He never actually lost connection but damn if that didn't happen constantly through all 5 chapters. It was maddening. The SO was a little laggy at the beginning which is to be expected, no different than any co-op. But over the last two weeks it's been getting increasingly unstable, this week was borderline unplayable. One more achievement and then I'll be glad to uninstall this bugger. Think I'm done with it.

I'm with you, I don't see why they didn't give it a bit more support. But all they really care about is Matchmaking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soad666 Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 I'm getting the same issue as you guys but it seems to clear up when the enemy has been dealt with. It is also not as bad as Halo CEA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StarsRPD Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 (edited) Most games of Spartan Ops I've had no lag at all. Halo Reach was worse. Might be that my connection is wired. 15 meter cable to the modem + brand new router to the Xbox Edited December 5, 2012 by StarsRPD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matchmaking is a bit better but still find myself and others either skating or teleporting all over. Most games of Spartan Ops I've had no lag at all. Halo Reach was worse. Might be that my connection is wired. 15 meter cable to the modem + brand new router to the Xbox Lucky. Reach I never experienced any lag at all, MP, co-op campaign or Firefight. At least nothing like this. Only the slight latency you experience sometimes in any MP game. I'm playing on the same setup, rig and router now I used with Reach.

mrj3d Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 For the most part I haven't had many problems. I have had several games where the lag has been really bad, but most times it's fine. Seems to be more common now than at release. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyboy Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 I thought it was just me.. when I'm just playing by myself, It's fine, but when I get online an play with randoms, It's unbearable.. glad to see It's not just me, I was wondering what the heck was going on.. An It's only Spartan ops Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nevander Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 This is starting to happen to me, every single damn game. It only began recently, other times it would be at least playable and not every game would be laggy. Now today, after the LIVE issues were 'resolved,' I began playing Halo 4 SO only to run in to laggy game after laggy game. What the actual shit is going on here? Like, it never used to lag this bad before in public matchmaking for SO. I've reset everything so it's not me, I've tested my connection and it's the same it's always been. Just fine. Is it just me or is every single game laggy now? Have I just hit a laggy game/terrible host spree? Please help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tripleb2k Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 I wasn't aware you could fail a Spartan Ops level but guess what? I DID. Because of the terrible lag and rubber banding, I failed Ch 7 Ep 1. I never knew failure was an option in this easy XP mode. Guess I'll just avoid that level all together.

Nevander Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 Sucks because that 9,000 XP in public is much nicer than that 3,000 XP for solo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
codePython Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 The Spartan Ops lag is something that 343i understood was going to be a problem, but had to release anyways. There may have been another way to do it, but we were going to have either lag or unregistered shots. 343i decided to take the lag. I tried to explain it in a post we made: http://www.halo4clan.com/article/Halo+4+Lagging%3A+Why+does+Spartan+Ops+lag%3F Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
