Can't find ANY games with balanced or focused.

Games Halo 5: Guardians
1

I’m from Australia and when I search for games which are balanced or focussed it takes literally about 10 searches and time outs to find a game.

If I go expanded then I find a game within 10 seconds otherwise.

Any other australian or european people having this problem?

I refuse to play expanded anymore. The lag is just freaking unbareable! Zombies flying halfway across the map and infecting me even seconds after I clearly shot them, getting assassinated by enemies that I literally just beat down in the back… etc I just can’t do it.

But I also can’t play balanced because I find no games.

What do? And yes I play on another account.

I’m having the same problem, I’m also from Australia, feels bad man.

3

I’m having the same problem. What was the point of buying if i can’t even play a game… :confused:

4

It doesn’t necessarily help I’ve had games where there was less lag in expanded than the others more often than not.

5

Had the same problem

Same problem here - really annoying… in the mornings mostly it wont find any no matter how long i wait. In the afternoons it seems to be fine for me. So i just play Halo Master-chief edition instead. But yes, very annoying. Can or will they fix this ?

It’s been like that for almost 2-3 months. Haven’t had a proper good warzone game balanced in a few weeks.

Its been like this from January 2016

Its Bull $hit that 343 makes such a good game but Australian’s can’t play because of population. 343 can’t fix this, and it’s depressing knowing that I will never find a game of FFA on balanced. Maybe if 343 does a fantastic job at Halo 6 and releases it to PC as well as xbox, we may finally have a stable population and get the $100 worth out of the game.

I find a lot of games - I watched out for focussed and you know what? Got thrown in a whole Lobby of SR 50 and lower - and I’m SR 146

Its cause a lot of Aussies are PvE warriors and just do firefight. If I ever play in the morning or early afternoon on day offs you can get in with focused, but warzone I pretty much has to be expanded.
Before firefight I use to get a lot of games with balanced on warzone, but now it just happens a few times after 8pm. Arena is still good.

Normally in the afternoon i don’t have this problem, but as soon as it hits the night i suddenly stop finding any games, it’s really suspicious.
Btw, i’m from europe.

Not many people in Australia play this game. I only find matches in WZFF consistently. Everything else I have to be on at peak times, even then it takes a while. Most playlists I don’t even trying to search for a match in.

13

Im from the UK and Ive been having the same problem in the last week across Arena and Warzone. Expanded, balanced and focused all taking considerably longer than usual to either tell me the search failed or put me in a game in progress. I cant have a quick game before work anymore because its taking 15 minutes to get into a good game. The only thing keeping H5 on my hard drive right now is my lack of another multiplayer game.

I feel your pain
im from Aus Qld and rarely ever find games with balanced or focased
343 should just release this game on pc to help it suvive more, still has 2 years to go till halo 6. Aus needs the population boost
