Unfortunately, I think I may be done with the multiplayer aspect of Halo 4 until some issues are addressed/fixed. I have a -Yoink!- internet connection, yet all the games I play are moderate to severely laggy.
Check out the combat stats of this game as an extreme example:

After my most recent game, I checked all the other player’s profiles and they were in New Zealand, Mexico, California, and Washington. I am in Eastern Canada. There has to be an option to play only with gamers in my region(Eastern Canada/US). As it stands, current matchmaking is an exercise in frustration. I play a lot of Battlefield 3, and it has dedicated servers searchable by region. If this isn’t an option for Halo 4, at least narrow down the focus of Incoming Players or give us an option to restrict by region. Peace.
I’m feeling pretty much done for other reasons.
There are too many changes that just bog Halo down.

I don’t know why Microsoft hasn’t done this considering how much money and power they have. I’m starting to think they are tight-wads.
I cannot justify raging when I play this game and realize that they have really messed it up. It simply has too many issues to make it enjoyable.
Dedicated servers tend to screw over players outside the US, as there tends to be fewer servers, that are further away. So, I don’t want them. I want better netcoding (like what Reach had), and search RESTRICTIONS, not preferences.
