Dear 343,
Can you please fix this issue for us Europeans because this is unplayable. Why not have the opportunity to choose a server located in Europe. This means they can shoot me dead true walls and shots are not registered. This issue is not noticeable against Europeans. If this doesn’t get fixed the franchise will no longer get respect from us Europeans. Last but not least it is not difficult to fix this issue, stop being so lazy and unmotivated.
Sincerly,

This has been on going issue there a thread with over 78 pages here take a look https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/forums/6e35355aecdf4fd0acdaee3cc4156fd4/topics/dedicated-servers-eu/a65cf801-460d-49f5-abcc-4b172f736b3a/posts
As a US player, I support this. I’m tired of trying to shoot players as they teleport around the map because the lag compensation algorithm is garbage.
In the last Twitch Stream Bravo did mention this and said they were working on it.
Hopefully they get it figured out ASAP.
It is an issue, and sucks for sure. But unfortunately, we’re just going to have to wait. I’m a USA player, but play with a lot of Europeans, and watching them lag is unfair to them.
It’s a simple fix tho just let us choose server we play on but 343 choose to ignore
Need this fix asap before we all lose patience

It’s seems like they choose to ignore a lot of things that are legitimate concerns from the community.
If they are addressing the concerns but simply aren’t letting us know, that really needs to change.
Lost patients already been putting up with this crap for week and I have just got a full refund I hope it get fixed for you all who are having these issues but for me i’am DONE
Am I the only US player that is unimpressed with the dedicated servers? I’ve noticed no improvement in games at all. In fact, here’s what I’ve noticed more of:
This coupled with the fact that I am struggling with the new aiming mechanics, makes for a lot of frustration.
Give us data centre selection. I don’t give a toss if they’re “working on it”.
A lot of people gave up on Halo 5 thinking they were just bad at it, but these massive advantages our American friends enjoy are the reason why EU players are rubbish; we can’t compete with 200+ ms ping.

And that’s the problem. They keep saying
“Working on it”
“We are aware of the issue”
“Coming Soon”.
I think people are getting annoyed with hearing these things over and over again and not really seeing results or having any details of progress be communicated to them.
USA! USA! USA!!!
PS: I believe they’re, “working on it…”

That’s all they ever seem to be doing 
So does halo 5 even have any EU servers.
Lag is a reality of online gaming we just have to deal with. There’s literally nothing 343 can do to totally fix this problem.
It sucks, but it’s true. Deal with it.
[Side note: I do support EU servers.]
Im in Canada and i too think the americans have a huge advantage. I dont experiece the running into walls lag but mostly the hit detection. Its enough to make playing halo very frustrating and kills the fun factor.
It does not matter what your skill level is, it’s all about how low your latency is.

Lag is generally not the issue for most of those who complain. It’s actually the latency, the time delay between the message sent & the response.
Lag is the Quality of Experience (QoE) impact on different network issues, resulting from latency. It is the delay experienced by a Player fires a round or throws a grenade waiting for something to happen. Latency causes lag but so does packet loss.
Though I have experience lag every so often, warping, rubber banding & the like but it’s the latency the time it takes the data packets to be sent from connection to server & returned.
Having a latency of over 200ms is what I experienced in all of my games last night, it was a minimum of a 2 seconds delay with regards to registry of shots, worst I saw must have been upwards of 3 seconds, saying that I did not warp or lag once during that particular game.
This is so obviously prevalent when shooting an AFK player & being almost 3 shots in before the first one regs & the shield shows this.
Of course latency is some thing we will always deal with BUT over 100ms is unacceptable if your want competitive shooter or any shooter for that matter to maintain a decent player base & population.
I agree OP. It is serious issue that needs to be looked at.
