What’s stopping whiskey from doing a matchmaking in social then

No 343 doesn’t have servers outside of US so it’s not the people in other countries fault. You could have perfect connection but not find a match cause the servers are hundreds of miles away

This is actually a completely wrong and false statement.
People can have great Internet, like myself, but since LIVE or Halo 5s servers decide to have a hiccup, I can get kicked out oif a game, can it you your connectionj, Sure, buts its just false to say its always your connection.

I just saw this, I forgot the NOT, ya, my friend says why don’t they a social version, I usually give the same response you just did, sorry for the typo.

All games have issues or things that could be, should be etc etc.
I’m just glad an effort is being made to continue to add to the game rather than just leave it be.

I agree, but I still feel like 343 is holding things back and ignoring the casual player base a bit to much, as of now we have sort of social warzone, BTB, Grifball, and one true social playlist that has 3 modes.
My real worry is what will they do after June…
To me, Halo 5 is good at keeping players playing if they have a goal, like Achilles, For me, My goal is to get both Helljumper and Centurion. But not everyone has a goal and just want to play for fun, 343 needs to add more then one social playlist, heck, turn the Warzone tab into a social tab, all modes like Action sack, Infection ,BTB, warzone and Assault could go in there, And just for it, they could add a ranked BTB since I know some have wanted it.
They need to listen to the fans and not let the game die and lose relevance.

Answers like these makes me more pissed than ever.
I’m angry and I complained every single day since early February because BEFORE I WAS ABLE TO FIND GAMES WITHIN SECONDS IN EVERY PLAYLISTS AT ANY HOUR you get it?
Region lock is real, 343 admitted it, so it’s not some invention created by the mind of some foolish crybaby.
Region lock problems are also improved by A SYSTEM BASED ON PLAYER RANKS so players like me, onyx or high diamond in almost every playlists the past seasons, are thrown and abandoned literally into the mud, condemned to play only on peak hours because in **every other time of the day find matches is LITERALLY IMPOSSIBLE.**Maybe the players you are referring simply use to play on peak hours regularly and have a low rank.

Not correct.
**Halo 5 matchmaking is based on Microsoft’s Azure Cloud Platform, which has many datacenters all over the world. The majority of them are in US, of course, in Europe there are 2: one in Dublin and one in Amsterdam.**I know it for suce because i’m a software developer and a Microsoft Dynamics CRM consultant and even online version of Microsoft’s business applications are based on Azure.
The problem here is one and has two faces: Region Lock and Ranking Based Multiplayer search. The first one, of course, is the most limitating one and is the principal cause tha prevents people outside US to find games and play freely in every moment of the day.

not so fast, While some may see the outcome as bleak, not all is lost, not much is lost, the game still has a stable population, What needs to happen is 343 needs to look at what they have now and take advantage of it, add more modes, more non-forged maps, fix the ranking and add some, they need to promote those modes as well, FireFight is a great example, do that with more modes and maps and they will be golden.

All the possible upcoming updates will be just pointless if we will unable to play freely like we are now. Until region lock will be in place (as it is now, at least), Halo outside US is screwed.
I definitely would not mind seeing some form of ranking in Warzone. I’m tired of playing matches where one team is hopelessly outmatched.

most likely, it would not be a skill based ranking system, if anything, Like I have said before, it would be some kind of REQ comparing system, this is because Warzone is not supposed to be a competitive mode, you have to keep it as social as possible, but some kind of system is needed.

Thank you eblSpartan, I feel your pain, I’m not high ranked but playing attest half the modes is impossible here in Australia simply because I can’t find a match.
Bad magic you have no idea, I wish you were actually right, if you were I’d simply get a better connection, however, I have the best connection on the market for my area.

Unfortunately is not a “good connection” matter, is a matter of choices made to hide netcode and servers flaws that limited the experience of many players all over the world.
They adopted the fastest solution restricting our searches and defending the majority (US players) which is not suffering for that at all (with some exceptions of course), throwing the minority into the mud at the same time.
Finally, after weeks of battle we’ve got 343i attention on this problem.
Here you can reach a thread 343 opened to gather all the possible infos from players to study a proper solution to Region Lock restriction issue.
Here’s the link and its Reddit version

What do you mean by REQ comparing system ? It would be an unfair way to rank players imo.
