Halo Infinite - Update on Latency & Geofiltering

“Its not lag, its a feature”

That license agreement subject to change is hog wash knowing they can say one thing, get the players hopes up and not do what they say they will.

That is a problem because that is exactly what they did with this game before it released.

But wasn’t he always playing against NA players? Except the NA players would be the ones with 100-200ms ping. Now they get good ping at the expense of the EU players. Only way to fix this is for there to be a EU population . It appears as though there isn’t, which is another problem.

Lmao you’re literally referring to what I’m now experiencing. Was excited to read about the networking update. Reinstalled the game.
“No ping to our datacenters” in MP lobby.

Uninstall.

Nice work 343!

I’m not sure who you are referring to as “he”?

If you’re talking about a random EU player then no…there is no guarantee that by using geo filter that you would pluck all US players in to your lobby. If what they are saying is true then there’s a chance that it would happen, but we can’t tell where players are located by looking at player profiles and whenever I’ve heard players talk they are always have UK or EU accents.

There clearly is an EU population as we have thousands of players that connect to the Dublin and Amsterdam servers every day, but there won’t be much of an EU population left if we are constantly getting forced to play at a disadvantage on US servers. It’s like being back to square one on Halo5 again…343i are an absolutely piss poor excuse of a games developer.

As I read it: you only care about your US customers.

Everyone else from now on will have to play on 180, 200, 300+ ms ping marches.

Seems like a great solution for a problem that shouldn’t exist in the first place.

It’d be a lot more honest if you started marketing your products in other countries as single player experiences only, tbh.

Sorry if I’m being rude, but I paid a lot of money for a console, software and services to get such a low quality experience - in the whole Xbox ecosystem, to be fair.

Don’t forget that the US has like 6 servers.

Europe has 2.

343 and Microsoft are American-supremists. Screw the rest of the world, as long as I have a server within 10 ping!

Considering server selection? Its not even in the road map? Oh you dont have a road map?

I’m from ANZ and if I constantly get put into foreign servers, then I will not return to this game.

I thought MCC was going to be the bare minimum for halo infinite - server selection, match composer. Is it not so simple? Let the players choose.

hi
I know you probably dont care what I have to say but
I think you should chill out

while you very much have every right to be mad
and I even agree that infinite should have a sever selector along with other systems you mentioned

yelling at devs doesn’t make anything better

and these “basic features” that only seem basic cause of other games
are probably way more annoying to make than you think and take time

the game should have launched with them yeah I agree
but screaming at the devs or in this case a community manager
probably doesn’t help at all

and they already admitted in this post that the matchmaking system wasn’t working as well as they hoped
which yes may have caused some players to geofilter which then makes others like you geofilter

but as you said yourself the game worked fine at launch for at least you
and it got worse when geofiltering became more common

not saying geofiltering is the cause of all bad matches
but it has a play in some bad matches

and 343 just pointed that out today and said that its hopefully fixed

that is all
feel free to yell at me

Hahahhahahaha….

You bad Australians for all that Geofiltering… now we’re going to change our matchmaking so that you can play your own kind. How dare you take the matter into your own hands. I hope you’ve broken your router…… :tongue:

Haha if butter wouldn’t melt!

thankyou for the continued updates on your efforts to improve aspects of the game!! really appreciative of you & everyone else behind the scenes. keep it up guys, cheers (:

Just make an NA region, an EU region and an Asia Region.

I don’t want to connect to NA and ghost hit everything. How on earth did we devolve from MCC to this mess? It’s like 343 doesn’t learn from their own past mistakes and repeats it over and over until fan loyalty sours.

I dodnt even catch that part. It shouldnt be something in consideration…that should have been a day 2 feature. Ridiculous 343.

Suggestions from a long time halo player that isn’t going to just bit** , complain and point fingers.

Bring back P2P: specifically for players limited to few and no data centers near them. Make it a option not forced.

Reduce travel time of bullets and other objects that can relate to damage coming from the host to help counter god gun affect of host, also shorten melee range of host.

Force 0-20 ping players to have a higher ping/delay to the game server if the average ping of players in the lobby are above 50ms.

There are more than one way to geo filter, give players what they want and bring back region selection and geo filtering will no longer be an issue.

Yell at Microsoft for having too much money and not enough data centers. Get more data centers, it’s 2022 and Microsoft is slacking.

People/players if you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say anything at all without potential ideas on how to fix it. Your existence is nothing but demoralizing and counterproductive, thanks.

Melee system has been broken in every halo if it’s ever fixed I might halfto question reality. Goodluck.

Thank you 343 for at least being upfront and honest this is the most important thing you can do.

I mean, the Master Chief Collection already has them, a game by 343 Industries. They obviously already know how to make them, so why they’re not in Infinite is baffling.

So the game is region locked now? If the asnwer is yes, we the player who lives in remote places will never play this game again?

Excuse me. Je ne comprends pas?

Sad part is, they think they did fix some issues. But everywhere I’m reading people are getting the same, or worse, pings and connection than before they “fixed” it.

No. It’s not region locked…it’s some misguided effort to ban geo filters and players from all over the world will connect to US servers whether we like it or not. There is no “middle ground” when more than half the planet is covered in water.
