Before the holidays I got to play local EU games with a low ping. The game was perfection.
Now I started playing again, it seems like every game is now on the US servers
Having to play in other regions with high ping really sucks the fun out of ranked quickly.
The lack region selection in matchmaking is driving me to quit this game. If players quit because of this, it is not helping matchmaking at all.

This game’s netcode is so bad that it’s basically unplayable on pings over 35ms.
I’ve played some FPS games that feel better on 100 ping than Infinite does on 15-20 ping.

I’m getting the same feeling. I’m in the UK and pretty much every day these last few weeks I’ve struggled to find matches with a reasonable ping. Most playlists are usually okay for a few hours in the evening but if I want to play outside a 6pm-9pm kinda window, I know it’s gonna be rough. I have better luck finding EU servers for Battlefield 3; a game which came out over ten years ago and has had five sequels since.
Ranked is where the problem is really visible. I play solo/duo KBM @ diamond 2 and at this point I already recognise most of the names I play with. I’ll sometimes go a whole night without playing on a server under 100 ping.

The desync issues are still there even with ping below 20ms. The major issues with the servers are not ping related.

The level of desync feels proportional to ping.
And the game definitely has a latency problem as well. It’s common for hits/kills to register after a very long delay even on sub-50ms pings.

You don’t have 8,000 players in your matches? What have I been playing?

I am based in the US, so there is a substantial amount of players there.
If @chrissie18 was specifically referring to EU ranked games, ‘8,000’ would indeed be quite low. If my math is correct, there are ‘31’ ranks within the ‘6’ separate tiers, ‘Bronze 1-6’, ‘Silver 1-6’, ‘Gold 1-6’, ‘Plat 1-6’, ‘Diamond 1-6’, and ‘Onyx.’ There would be roughly ‘258’ players in each rank ‘ready in the queue’ if it was spread evenly, that is if all ‘8,000’ players were playing ranked ‘24/7.’
If you take into account that the majority of players are probably not playing ranked, or if they are, they are more than likely pooled around ‘70%’ ‘Bronze/Gold’ and only ‘30%’ are roughly ‘Diamond’ or higher, the system has a harder time finding balanced matches based on ‘SBMM.’
If the ‘OP’ is simply referring to social modes like ‘BTB’, ‘Quick Play’, or ‘Team Slayer’, there are more than enough players in the ‘pool’ for the game to draw from.

I’m not sure if we’re agreeing or disagreeing! 
…but having played on both US servers (high ping) and EU servers (low ping), my experience is that desync is prevalent on both in Halo Infinite so I don’t know what the actual technical issue with the servers is as I’ve never experienced anything like this on other games.
I use Geo Filter to ensure I’m playing on EU servers only at approx 20ms ping, and the game consistently has desync issues that you’d expect from high ping/high latency server connections on other games. There is something definitely funky (not in a good way) with these servers or the netcode outside of what we normally experience with ping/latency.

You need around 900 permanently playerbase for a good working matchmachking (max 10 minutes waiting)
Genuine question for context…
Where did you get this figure of 8000 players from, and what exactly is it referring to?
Dude, you’re being victimized by the game’s random server mechanism.
I’m in Asia, and a lot of people from Australia or the United States will be assigned to this server.
You have to block some server addresses yourself, otherwise you will be assigned to a 300ping match even if the game is popular again.
But then again, as a free, players do lose a lot, ranking of single and double row is undoubtedly dead, faster than the H5 period, I can only be forced to play mixed mode and keyboard and mouse players against.
And In the Diamond Race, I often wait three to five minutes for a match to start playing, which is a shame for a game that’s just been released.
Keep Dreaming. 
Seams <8000 is plenty for you . It was such a great game on paper, its become such a disaster next to BF2042.

I’m in Aus, I’ve had matches at 25 ping and I will dump 4 bursts into the enemy with cracked shield and can’t get the kill I’ve also been in matches at 230 ping and the hit detection is on point. What I’ve also noticed is certain players seem so much harder to kill while some players just easily. This is absurd. I love this game but it’s incredibly frustrating with how bad the desync is and lack of region lock.
In the event the match I’m playing is low ping with no desync issues on my end (no phantom bullets, invisible nades etc) the game is a hell of a lot of fun (though I assume not so much for the players on the receiving end of it lol) . If they want this game to be competitive it needs attention ASAP.
