So either the matchmaking is broken, or my region is actually dead 4 days into launch.
The game has no problem finding a game basically instantly, but then i get in and find out its 180 ping. Which gives me reason to believe the game is not prioritising region but instead probably sbmm factors. 4v4 it can mostly find aussie games but laggy games are not uncommon either.
Even ranked ive had a couple of games which were over 150 MS which is Completely unacceptable in a ranked setting.
Surely my region isnt dead yet thats insane. I’m much more inclined to believe that matchmaking is NOT prioritising region First. Idgaf if i have to wait 30-60 seconds for a game if it means i’ll be able to play the game. If i queue into a 180 ping game thats an instant leave for me.
Give us region selection if the matchmaking isnt going to find me suitable games. I am not coming from laggy MCC games to have laggy games in this Halo too ive put up with it for long enough.

No. The matchmaking system is just non-existent. I search for a game and in 3 seconds am playing in a 200 ping lobby. It’s disgraceful and will kill off the playerbase in a week.

Same thing here in Brazil. I can find matches instantly, but they are always above 150 ms (found one today with 325 ms lol). I’m pretty sure all the matches I find are mostly NA East servers.
I hope they fix this.

There’s definitely skill based mm this game, I want to be able to choose my servers
Almost half the ANZ halo population isnt playing multiplayer because of the 200+ pings almost every damn game. Most have just formed up and play custom lobbies … why play BS North American servers when you can play 30ms games in customs which is just better?
Only play the actual Multiplayer when I have to do challenges…
they killed oce by forcing us into 250ms games.
its a joke.
who thought 250ms was an acceptable ping for matchmaking. im lost for words.

It’s not dead we just need a region select.
I’m glad that I’m not the only one with this problem. Basically every game I get into is super laggy (bad hit detection, teleporting, getting killed from behind walls, etc.). Ever since they switched to dedicated servers it’s been a miserable experience for Oceania players, but at least with MCC you could switch data centres—no suck option in Infinite.
