Obviously we have not heard much about anything yet, but is the going to be the halo that they get right on day one?
If you want to keep a community longer than a few weeks and in more regions than NA, then the option to region lock our matchmaking needs to be there on day one. Loads of games give us the choice nowadays, Halo 5 suffered massively because at launch nearly every game was played on NA servers. By the time they got around to doing something everyone had dropped the game, and those left had to endure long waiting times.
Get this right please. The game looks amazing and match quality should be a top priority. Not just fast matchmaking

I believe there hasn’t been any information about this yet. We barely have any information to begin with in the grand scope of things.

I think most of my games as a UK player have always been NA servers, but I haven’t had an issue.

When I play on US servers, I get a grenade that leaves my hand half a second after the animation, 3 shotted by the BR and people that can walk on grenades etc.
All my mates dropped Halo 5 after about two weeks and never came back because of it

Seems strange to be having that much of an issue unless there is something server side. What speed is your internet running at?
I never really had an H5 matchmaking problem outside of the few times the servers went sideways. My current main concern is not being ready for how many people will immediately rush this game. It happens in a lot Online IP’s where the first 4-5 days is an absolute madhouse of server problems, lag, and anger.
It almost always causes an influx of rage, and trash talk, that permanently scars the success of the title and people drop the title even if the problem gets fixed. First impressions are almost always paramount to a games success, so I certainly hope that they get the servers functioning appropriately out the gate.

It is a ping issue. On ADSL I was getting 110ms on the East US servers. Now with fibre I am in the mid 70s. Playing on an EU server is instantly noticeable. I always do a little grenade toss to see where I am at.
Grenade leaves my hand at the end of the throwing animation equals an EU server. A delay means I am playing out of region.
If you watch Halo 5 games on youtube and you pay attention to the grenade throws, you can see quickly if the person is playing away.

Its been a while since i/ played MCC but can’t you restrict what data centers you play on in the options? Pretty sure I remember that. Or are you just referring to H5?

I am referring to H5. I will check out the MCC if you can select the data center. If infinite has the same option, then it’s all good.

Yea MCC does and I think Infinite will also, MCC has been used as a test centre for trying new stuff like this. I only game on European servers on MCC its Rad.

Only play on EU servers!! I will have to check out the MCC.
I thought my UK friends were exaggerating when they talked about having a server disadvantage.
I matched against a friend overseas and it was like my bullets were delivered by FedEx.
Give players a choice to select servers.
If it means reducing playlists, so be it. A bad connection drives away players. We’re playing a shooter, not backgammon.

Great post
“delivered by FedEx” lol
A bad connection does drive players away. When you are at a disadvantage every game, it is not worth playing.

I am loving it I took some time away from Halo after H5 and a friend suggested to me to try Halo MCC again and I was presently surprised. It has a game browser too for choosing custom games or creating them.
