I am so tired of vsing Americans/UK on there host. When the hell are we getting our dedicated server. Half the reason I was excited about halo on xbox one is because of the dedicated servers. I am pretty fed up and about to just not play. I had more games on all the previous games on AUS/NZ host then I do now. It’s basically 2 in 10 games ill get a decent host which is playable most of the games are so laggy that it takes about 10 shots to kill someone. I also don’t want to hear play customs till its ready because that’s not what I bought halo for. How can a company that IS MICROSOFT not have there servers ready! Yet someone like EA/BUNGIE have servers for Australian’s before the main title that people solely buy an xbox for. I need some update on when we are going to be looked after here in AUS/NZ. There is literally NO talk from 343i about dedicated server’s in any country and I am starting to think there isn’t any. As soon as I heard there was dedicated servers I threw the thought of p2p away and now I will refuse to play this game if it’s p2p in match-making as host advantage is ridiculous.Only in customs will I accept p2p. I give this game one month extra before I will trade it in/Never play it again.
I can’t believe the f uckup which is Destiny whose servers actually pissed everyone off is absolutely crapping all over these servers. At least I got 80% lag free games. You are an embarrassment 343 to you and to Microsoft and the halo franchise. I said to my friends that this was your last chance to bring back the halo franchise with old games that everyone loves, also the reason people buy an xbox in the first place. If this doesn’t fix soon I will not only not buy another halo but I won’t buy an xbox in general. You have shown me and everyone else in this world just how incompetent you really are with the halo games. Rant over…

> None of the dedicated servers are working, its all P2P for host right now.
> And I think they need to fix the UI and basic lobby issues first lol.
Well I wouldn’t be so pissed off if It was a P2P aus/nz host but I am forever vsing UK/US hosts. It isn’t fun at all.
Agreed, I can’t stand finding American or UK games and when I do I just leave. The connection is horrible and the majority of the time it keeps going to some sort of host migration.
The good news is that we should be enabled for dedicated servers soon* – Xbox Live for One uses Microsoft’s Azure computing platform which is an incredibly powerful way of handling distributed computing loads. Azure servers in Australia have only recently been enabled however. As it is primarily a business solutions platform, I doubt MS would have enabled them for gaming yet.
Titanfall servers were set up in Australia as a temporary but welcome solution for that game – it too is supposed to be running on Azure (which wasn’t even available in Australia at the time)
While there are ongoing matchmaking issues, they’re not going to be putting resources into starting up new servers on new infrastructure.
It’s a shame that a massive release like MCC has been marred by such troubles. The management of all the different studios and different network code flying around must be a nightmare. 343 are accountable for missing these issues through insufficient testing, but they also need our support. They are just as upset and frustrated at the problems as we are – more so as it is their own hard work that has failed them. Let’s keep the criticism constructive.
I’m in the uk and the only games I ever get are vs americans, I agree they are unplayable. When are we going to get basic value for money, games that work and matchmaking that works. I pay once for the game and once again for xbox live and both are -Yoink-. How hard can it be for the biggest investors; developers; innovators in computing and the internet to limit searches for games to the immediate region. They are taking the piss out of us and I keep paying for it thinking " they must be able to sort it out by now".
Profiteering useless -Yoinks!-, just release it and then we’ll try to sort it out… yeah thanks guys, looking forward to halo 5 being just as useless. Why shatter all of our expectations and release a working game

Every game I get is American based p2p the lag is unbearable I made a video of me putting 6 headshots into one person and I stil lost -.-
Aus based FFA player here and I too have pretty much abandoned MP in favour of Destiny (yuck - it’s like an FPS version of Harry Potter) and Titanfall.
60 FPS and Dedicated Servers - we all heard it at E3 this year and not a word about the P2P system we have now.
Titanfall does it almost perfect now. You can choose your server region and see a population counter for the gametype worldwide and by region. I would very much appreciate seeing this to avoid sitting in a lobby with only 3 people in Australia trying to search FFA - Searching for More Players, Players Found (maybe 2), Searching For More Players (they aren’t there).
