343, Why Do You Ignore Australians?

I’m talking about the lack of a good connection search.

It started when we realised the option had been removed.

Then you told us it was still there but in the background.

Then we found out that wasn’t the case so we bombarded you with requests to add it.

Then you said you’d fixed it and listed the issue as being resolved.

BUT

For me and everyone I know the problem hasn’t improved at all.

And now you’re ignoring us. Your head is in the sand as you pretend (or blindly believe) the problem is fixed. Meanwhile, a month later, Halo 4 is as laggy as Halo 2 on the original XBOX. We had this feature in Halo 3 and Halo Reach and now that it’s gone the result is as predicted, the game is borderline unplayable.

And you ignore us.

343i, you inherited me as a customer from Bungie. I bought 2 copies of your game on good faith. It is a series I’ve spent countless of hours immersed in and it means a lot to me. All I want is this:

A simple yes or no.

Are you going to do anything about this? Or do you believe the issue is fixed and you’re not going to do anything about it?

A simple yes or no.

I just wanna know so I can either keep my 2 copies of the game and wait for a fix, or trade them in and move on to a game that can be played online in Australia.

There already is a thread discussing this. Feel free to continue discussion there :slight_smile:

I live in Merica and still have laggy games, 90% of the time. Spartan ops is nearly unplayable and matchmaking allows other teams to pwn us, eat bullets, and the to add insult to embarassment, hate messages why our team did bad.

Here are some examples of my daily halo experience.
I am shooting you in the face five six times, you shoot me twice i die.
I throw nades at you, you still live, you throw a grenade at me ten feet away, i die
I unload a a full clip from a saw, you shoot me once with a dmr, i die.
I shoot you point blank with a scattershot or shotgun, you body shot me with a hand weapon and melee, i die
I hit you with a ghost at full speed, i graze my teammate and he dies.

Then the hate mail,

One message i got today, u r bad, kill yourself. Makes you want to get better let me tell ya. I have linear 25x25 up/download, a hardline cable running direct from my modem, a 6 to 7 second ping, open NAT. I refuse to believe this is on my end any longer.
