Like the title says. We need to be able to choose where we play. You have the datacenters let us choose them.
The game is crippled by lag that shouldn’t be there if we could choose
Decent threads get buried on here
Bump
There are several other threads within the first couple pages that say the exact same thing, for what its worth tho I agree with you
I’m getting tired of putting an entire clip of an SMG into someone’s back at point blank range, meleeing them and then have them turn around and kill me with a melee when I have full shields because I’ve been put on north American or EU servers
(Yes I know this is lag)
They need to give us the option of what server we want to play on much like titanfall did
Yes, this would be great. Please allow us to do this 343.
The titanfall method is what this game needs
Im from Spain (Gasol brothers, Rafa Nadal, Real Madrid, paella, toros, flamenco ole! Ole!)
Titanfall data centers (100Mb/10Mb):
Europe 48-55ms
USA 110-176ms
European players needs european data centers! Please, come con 343i!

I get 47ms of pure gaming bliss on the European datacenters in titanfall!
Letting us choose the datacenter is a MUST for this game.
It’s probably going to end up being a peer to peer game.

Its already on dedicated servers… But don’t tempt fate… 343 would tell us some -Yoink- excuse as to why its amazing playing on p2p
It’s infuriating, automatic weapons always seem to be most affected by lag, but many games, I just lose most of the fights due to no real reason over than they have a ping advantage.

I get three shifted out of region, whilst I need six to kill them! Grenades are delayed its a joke
I’m lucky and haven’t experienced much lag at all in the beta, but I do live in a metropolitan US area 
I agree, we should always be match made to our local data center.
There is an interesting gaming router which might let us force this match. It can filter based on latency. However, I am not sure what effect that would have on matchmaking, you might just fail to match each game. idk. Here is the link if people are interested.
If this Automatic server selection (which doesnt work) is 343s definition of Dedicated Servers for Halo…then good night.

That avatar is amasing
I also agree we need to be able to choose our datacenters.
The same thing needs to be bought into halo mcc. Oh wait I forgot they don’t use dedis…
I did post a thread about a week ago about the exact same thing for us Europeans after 4 in the afternoon it ain’t worth playing the beta as we are so at a disadvantage…on my thread someone went into a bit of detail as to how the azure server works saying that if we connect to a euro server and at that time there ain’t enou players it will bump you to another server so one and so one…when you play titanfall you don’t get any problems, even in there beta they had reginal servers so if 343 don’t implament them when it comes out in December I don’t think I will be buying this straight away…P.S I wish I had a video capture card to show you all how bad some of my games have been😡
Bump.
listen up 343i give us Data centres, and penalties to people who use centres with a ping over 100 coz they’re usually there to farm kills due to lag compensation. See Battlefield 4 for this.

Good point with mentioning Titanfall, as that game uses the same Azure servers that Halo 5 will use.
