R.I.P. Oceanic Players

Games Halo: The Master Chief Collection

This inexcusable. Of all of the multiplayer games I’ve played in my life, many of which are significantly less populated than this, I’ve never experienced such horrendous lag. I’m forced to play at 200+ ping every single game and it’s infuriating. Australian servers exist so let us use them. Here’s some proof of how absurd the lag is:

Does this really look playable or fair to you?

They’re being used it just wether you get put into one of those servers or not. If you’re wanting to get into a local server more often I highly suggest teaming up with people in your region to help mitigate the lag by upping your chances of getting a local server.

One of the main factors for determining a server for a match is where the majority of players in that match are located.
If the majority isn’t near a oceanic server then the game isn’t going to select a oceanic server.
