Good connection option?

In halo 3 and Halo: Reach, there were good connection options, although these options are far less useful to USA, we who live here in Oceania would really appreciate for this feature to be added.

It is unfortunate that latency plays such a large role in video gaming, but unless NZ/AU players start getting matched with each other rather than American hosts I fear Halo 4 will die out here due to sheer frustration. I understand that USA is of highest priority but as a halo fan, I don’t want to give up on this multiplayer due to one missing feature.
If there are any other players in regions where ping becomes a problem please voice your opinion on the addition of this feature.
