If we could get an option to choose servers which we want to matchmake on that would solve all of our problems. People in the EU are getting really laggy games with ridiculously high levels of ping which makes the game basically unplayable. If we could get a prioritise good connection for matchmaking as an option, just like previous Halo games have had, that would be great. Re-introducing region lock is NOT the solution, but a choose server location option as seen in TitanFall and Rocket League would be great.

That is acually a really good idea!
Another way to cncounter this issue would be adding some kind of filter like the one we had in Halo Reach’s Matchmaking - at least I think it was in Reach, correct me if I’m mistaken 
You could prioritize getting games as fast as possible (regardless of the connection) or search for games with the best connection.
So, people who struggle finding games (because of their rank or the time they’re searching at) can expand their “pool” of possible opponents whereas people who find games pretty easily can leave it how it is.
I hope it’s not too hard to understand what I mean, as I’m not a native speaker and I’m a bit out of practice writing in English 
another good way is to get friends from other regions and join up with them. i play with people from the uk and germany all the time with no problems. Actually about half my company is from the uk and we do fine.

Thanks that’s another plausible solution, and your English is fine.
Selectable data centres were actually promised to us after the beta by josh Holmes
we still haven’t been told why they didn’t make it into the game, nor will
we ever be told I suspect
I agree, this would be a much better solution overall.

Were they? Wow…
I’m in the EU and rarely see lag. My ping is always very low but I don’t know what it does really.

Thanks mate
+1 could rage about this unlock, just now i played FFA was second with 21 kills and get a dc, wow sooooo good playing halo when every game is not laggy but got a permanent delay, i got a perfect medal with the pistol after shooting 6 times, hitting the enemy both die i get the from the grave medal, seriously this annoys me way to much
(In-Game) Server Browser…
nuff said.
Titanfall system is best. US players are at a severe disadvantage with the lag comp in this game giving us random deaths and lag for no reason even when our ping is very low.
We’ve been campaigning for this since launch and 200 pages later we’re back at square one :*(
It’s a pity we’re all in this position - not just us Europeans, but everyone.
Region lock - in my opinion - was a great solution to the latency issues that plague Halo. But, unfortunately, once you factor in the inevitable population decrease over time, it becomes a lot less practical. They need something new; something a little more feasible. And one particular alternative, as a few of you have mentioned, would be the introduction of a “Prefer Good Connection” option.
I noticed the terrible connection during my placement matches so have not even completed them.
I was having great fun with Halo5 but now for me, the game in unplayable.
I do hope there is a change, to bring me back playing.

I often heard people talking about a Server Browser in Halo.
That’s way I want to know, how peolpe like you would like to see a Server Browser implemented into Halo (What functions ect.).
I only know the ones from Battlefield 3 (for Xbox and PC) and the region Options from Titanfall.
If it eliminates or at least weakens the problems, I’d fully support this idea
