I wrote this post regarding geo-filtering and server improvements to put players into games with the lowest pings. I live in the middle east, and I get into games with 250ms after the recent update. Before this, using geo-filtering, it was possible to play matches at 100ms, and it took a little bit of time to find matches. 343, people did not use geo-filter for fun. Anyone outside the US/EU was more of a desperate measure than something to exploit. My friends in Asia, Aussie, and the middle east have the same problem. My friends in Singapore, by default, used to get 5+ ms matches without issue, but after the geo-filter update, he gets into games with 110ms.
Please 343, implement official server selection in-game. It would benefit non-US/EU players to get the lowest ping possible in this region and enjoy the game without any hiccups. I hope you will consider adding a server selection soon.
