Cannot connect to Spartan Ops Game during pea

Games Other Halo

Hi, I connect during peak time, US Peak times that is, and often find I cannot connect to Spartan Ops games.

To the point now it takes on average 1 hours to complete searching for a player(s).

I am in Australia and have an excellent internet connection.

I can set games up for my friends and all is well. Just cannot join during peak periods which is incrediably dissapointing.

This used to be slightly delayed, 5 - 10 minutes but now it is a joke.

I am not the only Australian experiancing this issue and have spoken in game with many others who are also having the same difficulty.

Is there some sort of regional filter being applied??

What can we do to actually get on a game.

Fyi I have been trying now for 2 hours and still have not managed to connect even though there is 134 in Rally Point, 48 in Hairy Call, 46 Random Transport, 53 in The Chase, and 148 in Didact’s Gift.

The message I get when it times out is There may not be enough players. Try a different playlist… been doing that for hours and its still not finding anyone.

I do manage to get a game set up, but this is usually in off peak usa times.

You assistance is appreciated.

Hi Chipanegger. For clarification, when you say…

> I do manage to get a game set up, but this is usually in off peak usa times.

Does this mean you were indeed able to successfully find a match in matchmaking at this time of day?

No I wasn’t able to get onto a match in match making Spartan Ops for 3 hours.

Same issue on saturday, and again on sunday and again today and same issue for at least 6 other Australians who are also trying to get on.

This is really bad guys… what have you changed to make it so difficult to play a spartan ops game?

For some reason between the hours of 11:30 est (Brisbane time), 15:00hrs getting into a game is all butt impossible.

Very dissapointed.

Cheers

Hi, Chipaneggar. We checked the status of our matchmaking servers, and everything is functioning as expected. If you’d like to read an overview about how Halo 4 matchmaking works, check out this thread. Otherwise, we recommend playing off your timeline if you are unable to find a match in War Games.
