Dedicated Servers - where are they located?

I really love the game. I love the Multiplayergameplay a lot, but why do i have to play with people from the us and why do they have to play with me from the EU. Could someone explain this to me - where are the servers are located? The game is laggy as hell sometimes and i really really hate this - it pisses me more off then losing a match. Even if im on the winning team. If the game is lagging you cant really say if your win was real or was it just the dump lag.
Its kind of dull to advertise dedicated servers and then you have to play on dedicated servers which are located on the other side of the world - lulz.

Can anyone give a clear answer about this “dedicated servers” thing.
Thanks!

I’m in EU, the game is smooth and without lag

Same here

Sorry but have to agree the game is lagging and feels like some people have an edge with playing nearer the server.

Im on 100Meg -Yoink!- Media BB in UK and it takes a full mag to kill someone and even then if they do die its pur luck or some other unfortunate EU player.

I would like to know where these dedis are???

Game is not fluent and definetly favours some over others.

I have had a few games with the EU and South America im from the US. Lag has not been very bad for me, only time I have noticed is on 3 occasions when my grenades lagged behind when I tossed them. Other than that not much of an issue. I believe the matchmaking tries to match you with people close by but also they don’t want us cued up for very long.

I’m from the UK - I seem to be put in more games with Americans and the rest of Europe than I seem to with other Brits… and I’ve not experienced any lag. Maybe some -Yoink- deaths but nothing I’d put down to lag.

I’m in the UK and it seems like I’m always playing with at least some Americans, and I haven’t experienced any lag.

3 miles below ground in an Oni facility…

havent really noticed any lag at all in arena, warzone on the other hand

Timbuktu or some -Yoink- like that

i dont know - when i play with the us players there has to be lag - thats a fact. Sure for a console game halo 5 runs very smooth but as an pcgamer vet (quake world, quake 2, quake 3, unreal tournament) i cannot accept this: i need an entire magazine to kill someone and on the other hand he kills me with 3 to 4 hits. no perfect, no headshot - only bodyshots. sometimes i think the enemie sees me a bit earlier because of a damn lag. when 343 and microsoft praise their dedi servers so much why the hell can i not choose a server by myself? We cant even choose a region - thats cheap. When my Netduma is ready for halo 5 i will see where i connect and what kind of server it will be. then we see.

I know your pain! haha it’s happened a few times!

I’ve had a few really laggy arena matches but I think thats to do with my connection… war zones been fine!

When i come out a match with 0 kills I know im not on an EU dedi as i cannot kill people as it seems they have the up on me and my shot reg too late,

If i come out with a few kills then i know Im prob on a closer Dedi as i can actually kill atleast some enemy.

Overall this is the worst fps i have played with regards to being ble to kill anyone and for me the game online sux -Yoink-.

Maybe being a PC player first i am spoiled by being able to chose the ser ver in the games i play or atleast the region.

I’m in EU and while the game isn’t visibly laggy most of the lobbies I’m in seem to be mostly americans. More than likely that also means that the dedi is close to them and while it may not look like it’s laggy they are going to have a latency advantage over you from being closer to the server. They won’t visibly lag but you get stuff like where it feels like they take 1-2 extra shots to kill, but they can turn on you and melt you instantly if you’re not careful.

Playing US people on their host is going to suck dedicated servers or not at least compared to playing eu players. Stop matching me vs americans every game please, I know some europeans have this game.

This game seems to be made by Americans, for Americans so far. It’s bs that i get put into american lobbies the majority of the time when I’m scandinavian.

no problems from mid south USA

I’m from France and I’ve been playing with EU and US players, no lag except for 1 game. H5 seems to be way more stable than the previous games.

I’m getting some WIERD lag, everything is smooth but I swear to god I am about 150ms behind the server - There are SO many kill trades, enemies seem to be able to lunge at a point about a metre behind me while I’m moving (well out of my own lunge range) and nades come out just slightly late. Also I get about 1-2 kills every match from the grave with a WEAPON about 2-3 seconds AFTER I DIED, like, the opponent I was previously shooting just drops dead. Very very frustrating because it feels like I should have gotten the kill before they could kill me but it’s hard to know what the cause is with no ping display or debug tools. AU Server. Can anyone help out? I could traceroute the Sydney azure server I guess as a start…

Headshots in Swat are instant and smooth. It’s great! I can’t wait for Grifball!

I’m in Australia and I’ve only had two laggy games. I’m pretty sure the game checks the location and connection of everyone in the lobby and sets you up in a dedi server according to the average location/connection type. I will admit that there is some slight lag spikes from time to time but Im pretty sure that they’re my end.
