I can’t be THE only person playing halo 7am UK time? Every morning before work I have to have my halo fix (addicted) but for the hell of me I cannot get into a game. I waste a good hour trying different game modes but nothing! I have checked everything my Internet is top speed my nat type is open etc so why do I struggle?! Surely there are others all over the world playing this game? Does anyone else actually have this problem?
you’re only able to get matches with people in your region because 343 did not want people to be lagging as much. it just means that there’s not many people in EU that are playing halo in your timezone. have you tried warzone? usually that’s populated.
Breakout is dead, is that the playlist you are trying? If so, its dead.

I have tried every game mode but I didn’t realise it was just EU region, thank you

Yeah Breakout is completely dead in the EU. I can only get games at peak times in the evening, and even then I often play against the same people.
Yeah I like breakout but I can’t get into a breakout game at all for the past few weeks.
Will try again tonight. You guys too? Ok see you then lol

Yeah, since Early February 343 has activated Region Lock in Europe, forcing all of us to be matched up exclusively with people in our same area, no matter what.
**Instead of build a system that privileges regional games widening its range if no gamers are available****near to you they locked everything, splitting the community into non-communicating groups and abandoning smaller local communities to themselves.**Substantially we aren’t free to play whenever we want, we have to look at what time is it before turn the game on, asking ourselves if there is someone playing in that particular playlist.
In my opinion, for a game published less than 6 months ago, this is a real shame. I experienced this only on Halo 3, after Reach came out and with “Prefer Good Connection” filter on.
i notice sometimes it takes forever for me to find a match with i start the game up.

Yes I quite agree it is a shame. To not be able to find 8-10 players for a game is disappointing to say the least!
