So I am trying to get an idea of how is everyone’s MM working at the moment?
I am having such inconsistency, I am almost concerned of a problem solely on my end.
I had been enetering games for the last 48 hours or so, though many matched uneven, and my own party still being disbanded across the two teams.
Across these games though I will experience “standby” lag. I am talking old school H2 Standby lag, where I am running into a wall in black screen for 5-7 seconds.
Not every game. I would say about 2 of every 3.
However in the last few hours, I can not seem to find any games, and the 3 I have have all voted, began to load, and then backed me out and told me the match was incomplete.
Are we all still this bad off? Or are some of you experiencing some success?
From my experience, some times I’ll be able to find a game very easily and consistently with even teams, though in a party, friends and I get split up. Other times, I’ll be completely left in the dark. I may or may not be near a server though, I know Valve has a download server in Columbus, OH, which I live 20 minutes away from there, so maybe 343 has a server there too. I would actually like to know the server locations out of curiosity. It’s a shame that Halo isn’t P2P anymore, because every Halo game before hand was. Since this is Halo’s first game with dedicated servers instead of P2P, I can understand the server issues. While it helps prevent host migrating if someone were to leave, P2P just… Works. If there are enough issues with dedicated servers in the long run, 343 might go back to P2P for H5.
