Still Can't Find A Free For All Game in Australia

Games Halo 5: Guardians
1

343i,

Halo 5 guardians has been out for a month now and I love the multiplayer, but I still cannot find a single free for all game since launch night. Even after the updates.

Free for all is my favourite gametype and I’m just completely unable to find a game. I found 1 on Ocbtober the 27th and that’s it. This is a problem for a lot of aussies, south americans and asians, as evidenced by the forums.

I was able to play rumble rockets just fine, but I have been unable to find a single FFA game since launch night, period.

Are you aware of this and are you going to fix it? Or am I going to have to deal with a faulty product that doesn’t work as advertised? Please reply to let your non-american fan base know that you care about them, because we’re starting to think you don’t.

Anyone who has the same problem (regardless of location), please reply to let 343i know that this is a problem for a lot of us.

Sincerely,
Someone who really wants to be on your side and has given you the benefit of the doubt, but who is losing faith in your studio and in halo.

Praise tha LAWDDD 343 has heard mah cry!

I just played 8 FFA matches in a row in the late morning. They were against primarily Americans, and the connection was laggy, but Halo 5’-Yoink!- detection is so good it doesn’t even matter.

I don’t even care about winning, I don’t care about req points - I can actually enjoy the game now. I didn’t even look at how many req points I’d earned until the end of my session, and I wasn’t even winning every game but I still had fun.

Thank you 343 for actually doing something about this. And please, let this be a lesson that it doesn’t matter how good your game is if we can’t actually play it. Number 1 priority of design should always be “can people play the game”.

Moving forward, an option to prefer good connection or search times would round this out completely, but I’m just happy that for the first time, I can actually play and enjoy the game I paid $600 for (including console).

Thank you,
