Will Halo 5 have Dedicated servers?

I’m loving the beta but i’m hoping for a dedicated servers.

Im from Australia and connecting to a american host puts us at a huge disadvantage, for instance the BR is a 4 shot weapon, most times form me its between a 5 to 7 shot weapon. When hitting the target you get your hit marks and the shields flicker but the damage isn’t been done till a second later which means you end up shooting more then you have to, to kill a person.

In which people who live closer to the host, Americans it puts them at a huge advantage over us. I’m getting killed with less then 10 bullets from the AR form 10 metres away. Instantly you die. Hopefully they bring in dedicated servers.

Bump

they -Yoinking!- beta!

you see what i did there?

Expect 343i to say that the game will have dedicated servers, and then it to come out a month later after testing (by the consumers) that it doesn’t actually use the dedicated servers.

Halo 5 does currently support dedicated server’s but due to 343s incompetence they refuse to acknowledge that a lot of players don’t get connected to other players from there own country. These are all the regions that currently support the Microsoft Azure Dedicated Servers:

  • Central US - Iowa
  • East US - Virginia
  • East US 2 - Virginia
  • US Gov Iowa - Iowa
  • US Gov Virginia - Virginia
  • North Central US - Illinois
  • South Central US - Texas
  • West US - California
  • North Europe - Ireland
  • West Europe - Netherlands
  • East Asia - Hong Kong
  • Southeast Asia - Singapore
  • Japan East - Saitama Prefecture
  • Japan West - Osaka Prefecture
  • Brazil South - Sao Paulo State
  • Australia East - New South Wales
  • Australia Southeast - VictoriaAll of these severs are been used right now both for Halo 5 and Halo:MCC.

Funny, just as you posted this, they issued a TU to help fix the problem (you will still get games on other servers, but less then before).
