Firstly, Infinite has got great potential. This is definitely my second favourite Halo since Halo 3. Well done you got me back! Halo is back, however if this problem isn’t resolved I won’t be playing again. I don’t want to play in utter lag in this day and age. Gaming has moved on, there’s plenty of games out there where I don’t need to deal with this type of issue. The lag is painful.
As an EU player I had to spend years playing on higher ping at higher ranks because matchmaking would always pair me with a US host. Back before we had dedicated servers, there was nothing I could do about this, but c’mon now this is a feature all competitive games must have. Server prioritisation, I should be given an option to search for EU servers only in a competitive shooter where the difference of 80-100ms disadvantage makes the game incredibly frustrating why am I being placed into US servers for 10-12 games in a row?
In the MCC I can see there is an option to select server preferences. Can we please have this added asap? I want to play the game seriously, and climb the ranks in Onyx but this is making it really unplayable.
Many thanks, ( from someone that has paid you a lot of money over the years, please honour my request)

Even in Platinum 4 I get a lot of 100+ ping matches. This is unplayable! There is absolutely NO precision with this ping! That such a simple thing like server prio is not built in from the beginning makes 343 look like a beginner studio… sorry, but someone has not done his homework here.
I keep getting this too, I thought it was a problem with my own internet but it’s definitely not. This keeps happening to me a lot in FFA getting 100ms+ ping and it’s near unplayable.
Also I keep getting random lag spikes where it jumps to around 300ms then back down again, anyone else running into this?
