I do not want to play against foreigners

Games Other Halo
1

Every single game I play in Reach, no matter what time of day, I am matched with players from countries other than the USA. Are they now the majority who still play that game or what?

I have seen it all: Belgium, Netherlands, Italy, France, Denmark, United Kingdom, Mexico, Canada, Germany, Australia, Brazil…etc

There has to be a feature in Halo 4 to fix this. Please automatically search for players in my own country, or even give a search filter so I can do it myself. Instead of pointless filters like “my language” put one in that says “my country”. This is absolutely ridiculous. I have nothing against foreigners except for when I have to play with them on their garbage connections on XBL. Even worse is when they are host.

And I am sure people from other countries agree that they don’t to be matched against me.

how is Canada that much different than the USA

Snickerdoodle lives in Italy and she actually has the better hosting capabilities when a bunch of us play.

My buddy LudaToke lives in Canada and has a great connection when we play.

There are just as many “garbage” connections in the US as well. I’ll play with anyone.

The forumula doesn’t go Other Country Connection + Yours = Crap

There are MANY things that cause connection issues. Not just location. It depends on equipment, service provider, etc.

Don’t jump to conclusions just so you can assume the “Foreigners” are the problem.

If you saw the bacon you wouldn’t be asking this question.

Bungie said, in reach, only people in the U.S.A. can be host in matchmaking. so obviously, it was your connection -_-

lololololol

I’d say a source is needed on that one, but don’t bother looking, this is completely false.

Where did they say that? Link please.

On topic, don’t blame the connection on the country. The USA can have bad connections aswell, not just other countries.

I live on the east coast of the U.S. and frequently play with buddies from Canada and New Zealand. I’ve never had a connection problem playing with Canadians, and contrary to the norm, I don’t have much of a problem playing with my New Zealand friends either. I mean, there’s noticeably more lagginess, but not game breaking like I’m sure some people in NZ and Australia experience.

on which side Canada or USA anyhow they would be the same,

Since I’m Brazilian, I do mind playing with foreigners, but thats b/c here we have a poor upload bandwith and ping response, and our bad news is that a minority enjoys Halo, people here likes more guerilla over sci-fi games (no pun intended), and is hard to make a wealthy group of Halo players even to do some custom games.

Besides American players (south, mid or north), It’s hard to beat the lag if the opponents are from another continent.

I live in the Netherlands, I have a good connection, and mostly people in US are lagging when i’m playing

PS: i wouldn’t mind it of course but i don’t think it is needed

Exactly, I live in England and I love playing with Americans, I never have connection problems, it would be a shame if I was confined to just playing with people that i’m familiar with all the time, it would take the fun out of the game a little for me, because most of my friends are either American and Canadian.

Don’t usually have connection problems, even when I’m the host in a Campaign level.

And I’m Spanish, so not every last connection from a place has to be like you think the country’s internet service is.

14

It’s 2012 pay for dedicated servers already. I would pay 5 $ a month to play on servers.

15

I see this whole topic as an insult to my country.

Lol, I keep stealing host (for whatever reason!) in co-op campaign and customs and I have no idea why. My internet isn’t THAT great here (at least, I didn’t think so) but apparently it’s better than I thought.

I play with people from all around the world. Most of my friends are in the states, but I also play with people here in Europe and even some Aussies and honestly I don’t encounter THAT much lag. Sure, every now and then there’s a game that makes me yell at my TV but for the most part the connections are actually pretty stable.

Your OP is a little short sighted and ignorant, honestly.

17

haha really?

18

How is Canada far? Unless you live WAY south…
I get matched with Vancourites all the time and the connection is fine. (I live in Portland)

> how is Canada that much different than the USA

Right? The only difference is that their politicians aren’t completely insane.

I live in Canada, and I never lag, unless I’m downloading a large file or something. Of course, the Lower Mainland isn’t very far from the US, but still.
