Do the search preferences make a difference?

Games Halo 5: Guardians

I haven’t noticed a single difference between expanded and focused so i don’t get the point of it all

I’ve put it on focused only. The last 20 WZ games I’ve played with buddy’s we’ve had all amazing games. Real intense and most importantly. NO FARMING! So yes it makes a huge difference. We’re all like silver-platinum ranked guys so yeah. Such a better experience in WZ with no more farming.

I set up focused since it came out and i noticed a little bit of a difference, not an enormous one, but it helps a little, i live in EU by the way

I’ve been enjoying this game so much more on focused, games are much more fun and less farming. Its like heaven right now.

They do make a bit of a difference… But by no means is perfect… 343 likes to complicate things by adding rank and connection together… When really they should of just had server selection. These two should of never been tied together… Just remember focused doesn’t mean your always playing on the server closest to you or with the best ping… They hid that by throwing skill/rank into the mix…

Team arena is horrendous on focused as it matches you with Americans of equal skill but puts you on an American server. Then you proceed to get completely obliterated thanks to the massive latency disadvantage. I personally think these preferences are a complete waste of time. All I want to see is selectable servers!
