Ive had little to no success finding any oce server in ranked. In quick play i can find them really fast but is ranked just dead for oce or what?

Ranked is on life support even after merging everything into crossplay. We can give another week to let people rank in before looking at HaloTracker to try to estimate the population, but it’s not good. When I logged in I had about a five minute wait on east coast US servers (off peak time), so I did something else instead.

I’m in the UK at 20:00 hrs I switched to local server thinking, must be a few people playing at peak time………25 min later no match, switched to default search and got games straight away….
343 teaching me a lesson

Is hard for EuWest too. There aren’t players online. This game is dying
i played for 8 hours yesterday and i had 2 ranked arena games and 2 ranked survivor games. i’d let it search until it timed out and have a game in quickplay (which took 30 seconds to find) then try again.
what’s strange is if i set it to local i can’t find a game even in quickplay yet i know there are local people (aus) playing because when i switch back to expanded i can find a game and it’s clear from the ping i’m playing local.

No one plays ranked in any region because the ranked selection we have sucks. If we had ranked versions of snipers, swat, btb, ffa, doubles, team slayer, and team objective more people might be interested in ranked Halo, but we’re stuck with one single mixed slayer/obj playlist that no one wants to touch.
Couldn’t get into anything for a good hour yesterday evening UK time. Friends tried pulling me into co-op, but even that wouldn’t work. Even social is really sweaty now, because most of the players left are serious players.

Hardly anyone plays halo outside the united states, im sure the ranked population is tiny outside usa as well, it’s tiny in the usa…
Im sure ranked population in oce would be larger if games werent 200 ping and felt unfair
