In global championship, the terrible connection essentially gives them a double overshield. Also, anybody that has a connection under 1 megabyte per second should be blocked from getting host. Why isn’t this a thing?
On another note, why does a Global competition playlist not have dedicated servers? European(mostly french and italian), mexican, australian, and canadian players are notorious for having terrible connections to US players, but they pull host almost every time they’re playing, giving them a major advantage, which sucks.
and we hope that no-one in the north-america pulls host.
regards: rest of the world
Man I wish being an Australian made me pull host as much as you make it sound. It basically makes a multiplauer game unplayable if it doesn’t have search filters by being Australian. I can count the times I’ve gotten local host on two hands. That’s why I don’t play Halo 4 anymore.

I’m sorry? And just screw over all these other countries that probably face the same problem when a US player is host?
Is your connection under 1mbps?
Abel, I understand that the connection is usually bad for one or the other, my main point in this thread is asking why there aren’t dedicated servers in a Global Competition. Obviously people are going to have an advantage over other players in other countries, US or otherwise, if they have host(Edit) and a bad connection. I’ve never met a swiss player with a bad connection, and a lot of the people I play with are European and Canadian with good connections, but people from those countries with Bad connections should be blocked from getting host, which shouldn’t be that difficult to do.
No good connection/local search filter will do that to ya
Two words: Dedicated Servers.
It’s not just Mexicans, genius. It’s Americans too (yes, I am an American) it’s also Australians, Brits, the Japanese, the French, Germans: anybody from any country who has Xbox Live and plays Halo 4. When people from different countries get together over XBL, half the time it ends in FUBAR because the servers are crap.
Think half the reason Bravo said we are allowed 3 quits each week is so you can bail on bad connection matches. Either way I don’t really take the online tournament seriously. LAN tournaments are the way to go until dedicated servers.
it sounds like you are saying europeans are mexicans. lol
I may be wrong but maybe it is your internet connection ?
He might be a bit mad to put this in better words but i understand what he means. Whenever I play against non-US players I have bad games and it is usually because of connection issues either they are teleporting or eating bullets its no fun and I can see why he would be so mad about it, but thats part of online gaming. With the X1 we will have dedicated servers for the first time in any halo game as far as I am concerned so we just have to be patient till then.

The two PC ports of Halo had dedis.
Kinda unfair to single out on a particular nations internet. Crap internet is global. If you have under 5down/1up you are going to experience lag. Host or not. With us playing with gamers all over the world. Its amazing that it works at all.
