I am currently living in the UK and I play around 5-10 hours of Halo a day. Recently I have changed my sleep schedule and I now play from evening to early AM. I have noticed for that between 3am and 8am GMT I can not find a game in any gamemode. I had imagined at this time there would be plenty of people on from other timezones but I do not seem to be getting matched with them.
Is there a form of region lock in Halo 5 preventing me from finding games outside of the UK? Is there a way around it so that I can find matches at these times?
you’ll have to make a fireteam with a person in another timezone to get around the region lock
