I love halo infinite, probably logged more hours than I should at this point.
But there is one issue that keeps ruining my experience. I keep getting sent to US servers. And as many other people who play this game I am not living in the US.
I mostly play the ranked playlist, and in the last few weeks i’ve limited my playtime to prime time for EU. Even then i’m lucky if I get normal ping, just as an example me and my friend played for 2 hours last night and got 2 matches with 30 ping (ideal ping for me).
I don’t want to block other servers to force good ping for me and ruin the game experience for the US players I match with.
And there is no way that there isn’t 7 other or less people from EU that press search within the next couple minutes after I press search.
When the game launched without the option to set preferred server, I was disapointed but hopeful that it would be adressed and fixed fast. And I understand 343 have other issues to tackle first (like btb). But please 343, it’s time to do something! This issue will bleed out players from other regions and I imagine getting players back even if we get a server prefrence in the end will be hard…
Thank you for reading.
