Is there anything that can possibly be done about the high latency experienced playing arena matches?...seriously dont get it in the other game types but in arena i get a a jolly green bar of atleast 2 sec lag...by the time ive been shot the first time on my screen they've already emptied half their damn clip into me. Been with halo from the set go. Would love to see this sorted.

So basically... Waypoint is pro-vanilla?

Posted by: Sentox6
Waypoint isn't pro-anything so much as they're just anti-intelligence.

This is more true, and there isn't alot we can do about the our connection. I have the best internet i can get in Australia (Yes i know our internet is garbage), and i still lag like all hell while versing a foreign host. So i agree with the op. Even though i still win most of my games so far.

cant be the australian players that are the problem...would go on but most likely end up ban hammered ;) but dont experience the same issue in the other game types, just arena.

That's because Arena is one of the lowest populated playlists and is the only playlist to use strict TrueSkill restrictions. It's surprising that you're even able to find a match with such a bad connection.

what's even more confusing is that the game displays a full green bar, understandable if it was a red dot or something but a full green bar and that kind of latency? Frustrating to say the least

Anyone who claims the AR takes skill ought to shoot himself in the head. Preferably with the AR because they'll most likely miss with any other weapon.
