If there is a thing that makes me furious is the absence of Servers Selection. It was promised to us after H5 beta and then not delivered (why? just why??).
It make me angry seeing every other respectful game out there implementing this and not the game i love the most: TF2 has it (and in addition they will use not only Azure’s servers but also Amazon’s and Google’s to provide more choice), GOW4 has it (the beta played flawlessy) and so on.
Why Xbox’s merchandise finest cannot have this must-do feature but every other game on Earth can?
I don’t know the reason of this, probably the ranking system is the main cause and, if it’s so, then is the ranking system the one to be changed and not the opposite.
What are your thoughts on this people? Do H5 (or at least H6) need such important system for its multiplayer infrastructure in your opinion?

Because Microsoft is Microsoft and they use microsoft’s servers and their own servers only because of money. Choice would be great but won’t happen with Microsoft.

Titanfall 1 use only Azure’s server with a Server Browser built in so the problem is still present for H5…
We need this! I cant believe that 343i hasn’t done this yet… So many factors of this game would improve by this one simple feature… So many people don’t understand how much of an improvement this would make for gameplay and the game over all!! You want the population to grow? You want the game to succeed? The foundation of any game should be good service performance… Fancy armor and req packs don’t do it! Really we need to start a poll for this…
Zippy.

Well said bro…
What piss me off more than everything is that people in general seems absolutely insesitive about this problem/lack.
We have the most beautiful and funny game of all and its multiplayer infrastructure is utterly flawed, missing the most powerful tool to make everyone able to play fairly against each other.
It seems that if people in USA, or pro players can play this game without problems then all the rest of the world population having issues is the issue itself: reading some answers on the forums people like me, writing thread like this, seem a bunch of fools whining around like crazy just because they have nothing to do during the day.
I speak for myself: i love this game, i love this franchise and the universe that was able to create; to me play this game is only super fun when it works flawlessy and no other games on earth can give me the same sensation Halo was able to give to me.
Why on Earth this game, who alone was able to raise this console above the others in the past, now has to fail miserably because a pair of wrong decisions? Always for a small but decisive mistake or missing feature so simple to implement but never taken into consideration or completely discarded because God only knows what?
Every week i follow the community update, hoping like a fool that the news will speak about servers improvements, netcode revision and some infrastructure introduction like selectable servers. Always like a fool i am disappointed.
My hope is that, with H6 in mind, 343 will finally fix this game in order to have an already functional and flawless infrastructure from which get parts or ideas for the future.
The truth is that they have already dropped this game (new REQs or forge maps or whatever you want don’t count to me if everything rests based on something utterly broken as H5 servers) and now we are, or better, i am waiting here curious to see what will be the next small but decisive thing on which 343 will fall the next time.
Op I feel your pain… Many on here may not understand what the option of selectable data centers would do for the game. Some may just feel that if a game plays that’s good enough for them. Also while others that don’t have any problems feel there is no problem. So as you see this is a very hard thing to sell to get 343i to add this feature. There is one thing that I have been watching. The most played games on xbox. Halo5 now ranks 15th. And this game is just becoming only a year old. That really shocks me. Out of my friends I have on xbox that had the game was 16. Out of that 16 only two play it once in awhile. That also says something to me. What I don’t understand about 343i is why they always seem to follow and never lead as a company. More and more games are going with selectable data centers. Im just worried 343i will wait far to long for this option. TF2 really took the lead when it comes to good data centers and having the option to select them. I give them credit just for that move alone. Now the question is will 343i add this feature in Halo5 or wait and maybe add it in Halo6. Id much rather have them add it in this game then wait. If Halo6 doesn’t have this key feature im going to have a really hard time convincing myself into buying it…
Zippy.
If H6 won’t have this feature and a proper true skill ranking system, that will be the signal of the real death of this game…
I hope TF2 will fill the emptiness until the next halo, but I feel that I’m just going to be mad looking at it and wondering how awesome H5 would be if server selection was implemented in the first place.
