Can you, in your next update, describe how you will improve the servers for infinite? Will there be region selection? Are you going to do something special with an entirely new design?
Notes:
I understand that in h5 the population is dismal and leads to poor connections…
I would love to have region selection in Infinite, but I would also like something special bc my friends, as I’m sure others are accustomed to, are more global than local.
Post notes:
In summary, I’m not much of a tech guy but I would love for you to make this a priority as I’m sure you agree it needs to be.
Ps
I thought about networking from a point of view of a lamen and I had two thoughts that I later concluded as not a solution; however, it may lead to an inspiration from someone more knowledgeable :
artificial ping baselines for severe ping discrepancies. Like if someone has a ping of 10 and other players are at 50-60… Add virtual ping to the 10 ping player to promote equality in gameplay. It’s just a thought
Anyway, super excited about the game and the team. Thanks,
Low population has always been the bane of matchmaking systems. They’ve been offering a quite wide server selection for some years now (even though we’d all want one in our country, right?) and given how they added region select in MCC, I think it will be the same with Infinite.
Regarding what you call “artificial ping” aka lag compensation, any game that has tried to do this has been frustrating as hell to play. Just hope that there are a lot of players around you geographically and that the servers work properly.

Well… watching Halo 3 and Halo Reach population from release into 3 years, there was a huge playerbase. Looking to Halo 4 and 5 - well… you can’t call that population

This is slightly unrelated to the subject, but you’re right.
