It is unfortunate for us that Australians cannot play all of the playlist, and are restricted to very few. I miss the days when all playlists that were available for US, were also available for Australia too. My friends and I can only play Team Arena, Slayer and main stream Warzone. It takes us a party of three to find a Break Out match and that is still rare. As for the rest of the playlists, forget it! I have only played one Warzone Assault match and I am desperate to play more. I really want to know if anything has been done about this because it is very irritating.
I agree 100%. I’m in Australia too and some playlists like BTB and Warzone Assault don’t even exist anymore for us.
Unfortunately this is what Halo has become for many regions - broken multiplayer…
For EU off peak hours is the same.
Peak Searching in AUS this season:
Team Arena = 0 - 60 seconds at most to find an unbalanced match in Team Arena (Gold/Plat vs Onyx is common).
Team Slayer = roughly 0 - 2 minutes. Matches more balanced than TA
SWAT = Tried half a dozen times to find games. Can’t find them even in peak times anymore. Not sure what that’s about. I thought it was popular.
Breakout = LOL
FFA = LMAO
BTB = ROFLMAO
Off-Peak Searching in AUS this season:
Surely you jest… Eject Halo 5 from the Xbox disk tray and play another game.

^Unfortunately, this is on point. Never thought Halo would come to this

It is a shame that the Oceana servers have very little people in their playlists. As an Australian I too know your pain…
