Come on, guys. Fix the lag issue. I have spent many thousands of dollars buying your games, buying map packs, paying for XBL and paying for the fastest internet connection I can buy. Yet all I get is constant lag. And do you know why?
I’LL TELL YOU WHY! It’s the international connections. And that’s all it is. I can set my search restrictions to language, good connection and skill…wait 15 minutes to find a single match…then just get into a -Yoink!- LAG FEST with foreigners hosting the game! There will be foreign hosts with red bars and I get cheated…constantly. It’s infuriating to say the least. I will never spend another cent on your games or extras until this issue is fixed. And I know many, many others who feel the same, and I will spread the word to ever message board on the -Yoink!- 'net as well.
The problem, as I see it, is easily remedied with local/regional matchmaking. This is a very, very simple code to implement and to not implement at least the OPTION to choose it means you don’t care about your customers’ gaming experiences, 343i! Now do what we paid you to do…supply us with a fun and fair online gaming experience! NOW!
