What the heck is going on? The lag while playing Halo Reach has been getting worse and worse over the past few weeks. Then the play list was shortened (no more doubles Firefight for one of many) which you would have thought would have sped things up. No, it's worse.

Now I can't even get matched up in Firefight to play a game. When you finally get matched up to play Swat, the lag is brutal. Rubberbanding, getting killed when no one is there and my favourite, killing someone, running away and then you're dead by the person you just killed. Don't even get me started on the spawns in front of the other team.

Now I get it, Halo Reach came out in 2010. Halo 4 is coming out in October. However we paid good money for Halo Reach and we'd like to continue playing it! When will these issues be cleared?

I do experience lag but nothing major like you're talking about. My and my girlfriend can find other people in Firefight Matchmaking and we hardly experience any lag when playing Living Dead.

The only lag in Living Dead we normally encounter is when we fire our shotguns and the zombie doesn't die like a good zombie should and then we get infected.

As usual when this kind of thread appears, I haven't been experiencing any more lag recently.

Have you been on today? 2 hours ago I couldn't get matched. I'll check again.

However the lag has been an issue. Heck, the other night on big team we were spawning DEAD! Nothing like spawning in the undercarriage of a wraith.

Oh yeah, since somebody does not believe what YOU believe; that makes us vapid...
I cannot grasp that what you call "Something happened to nothing, and that nothing became something, and it was smaller than than a period."

Not from what I've noticed.
Call your service provider probably?

Typical Waypoint post.
no it's "its got to go" you wouldn't say the "it is got to go" would you?

Maybe its because reach sucks ass.

There was a BGP peering issue between Level3 and Sprint yesterday which was causing Internet latency for a large number of people. Today Cogent and NTT are experiencing similar issues.

Let there be light, created from fire

I am all i am, i am a team player(when im not pissed), i make great strategies, i will punch you in the face after armor locking, you have to be at sniper distance to not get headshot by my DMR or pistol, wraiths beware, i am DxXOrangesXxD and i am ready to rumble! (When Halo 4 comes out cause Reach is nothing but crap players now)

lately ive noticed many players warping around the map. and of course i could barely hit any of them. i wasnt lagging either, cause every other player would be moving fine.
