Hello, first time poster here, but been playing halo for years.
I think it was around the time of ODST’s release on mcc on PC, where not just me, but a fair amount of other Australian players and people around the SEA and OCE region can only connect to US West region and it makes the games nowhere near as enjoyable as they should be. The high ms is ridiculous and quite frustrating.
Have our servers been removed or is there just a glitch in the matchmaking at the moment?

It means you don’t have enough population in your region to form a game and so your fallback server is US West. Last week’s dev blog explains it.
> When we launched MCC on PC, we set Southeast Asia as a fallback region due to the number of preorders we saw from players in that part of the world. However, after monitoring the current population in that region, we identified that it no longer fulfills our goals for a fallback region. It was significantly less populated than any other fallback region. So, a few weeks ago, we removed this region from our fallback list.
> This means that players in Australia, New Zealand, and Southeast Asia will now have West US added to their available server list as it is the nearest fallback region. Again, this is a fallback and a match formed entirely from players in Oceania will be hosted on a more local server. But, if such a match is not found, players will fall back to West US.

Ah ok, thanks. Its just every game I’ve been playing is US West, like the mm isn’t even attempting to match me in my region, ah well, guess I’ll have to deal with it
