Decide to use dedicated servers (good) to prevent the fact that someone has ‘host advantage’ (good) when in the usual P2P situation…
…then decide to force players from Europe to play on US dedicated servers, thus ensuring that all US players have ‘host advantage’ all the time.
GOOD ONE!!!
343 certainly do enjoy a good laugh. I’m assuming the dedicated servers issue is some huge, elaborate April Fool’s joke that they’ll unveil come April 2016.
It’s a bizarre move for sure…literally 1 step forward, 2 steps back

I agree completely. I assume you are an EU player? I’m in the UK and it is so annoying when I’m killed by an American’s BR in what seems like 1 shot to me.
Aye…it’s such a shame, as it’s so much fun when it works

Or where you’re on the other side of say…fathom with a BR
And get outgunned by a magnum because they’re in the US
There’s just too many instances to list them…it’s basically every aspect of MP!

Newsflash: Halo is an AMERICAN game. I doubt they had European to US connections in mind while developing it.

so why release it in those markets?

An “American” game?
Yet Halo delayed Xbox’s release for the entire world.
Don’t entitle yourself for being an American.
It’s an Xbox game.
Yes, it was designed in America…but it wasn’t made exclusively for America.

Breaking News: America it’s not the world.
30% of sales are outside America.
Yeah 343 doesn’t need European and Asian millions.

Many games are American. Call of Duty is American but their servers work well for EU players. Battlefield is a Swedish game, but guess what? They thought about US players.
It’s obvious 343 lacks ANY foresight, and their hindsight is like 20/100. Many things, and I mean MANY things, big and small, were missed by 343. Every day I find something that’s wrong, buggy, missing, etc etc. It amazes me for a AAA game like Halo.
And all of you got trolled by that guy saying it’s an american game. Lol
But this is like trying to feed 30 people from 1 turkey on Christmas day…it’s that obvious
A teenager doing a school project could have planned this better!!
I would have preferred p2p that detects and connects you to hosts that live nearby you.
I’m not doubting you, I just am curious where you read that this was actually true. I thought everyone had dedicated servers.
I live in the northeast part of the United States and have the best TWC internet money can buy for my area and I still experience lag issues at least 1 out of 3 games. Heck, I got lagged out of 2 slayer games in a row yesterday. I rarely, and I mean rarely, ever had the lag issues that I have now, back when Halo games were p2p. The best part is, any other game on the XB1’s in my house work flawlessly, I/we only have a problem with H5.
I’m not talking about lag. it’s the difference in speed of data to and from the dedicated server.

We do have dedicated servers 
Unfortunately, 90% of our games are on the US dedicated servers and not the ones in Europe…all because they won’t let us choose a data centre or ping limit.
I know, I know…that sounds ludicrously simple to fix and that’s why we are so frustrated 
Never had any issue with the servers
