Will Infinite have servers for us across the pond?
Halo 5 is getting to be a complete joke. Seems like it’s gotten way worse over the past couple of months. Virtually unplayable for anyone in Australia or NZ. We need servers over here for Infinite. We have 25 million people here and another 5 in NZ. How hard can it be?
Anyone know if there are any plans for this?
I would definitely imagine while the game is new and popular there will be the investment. H5 servers have downgraded in general since 2017 and the abandonment by 343, if Infinite suffers a similar fate it wouldn’t bode good news for y’all to be honest.

I think it just comes down to active population size. Microsoft as a whole is pretty good at providing good localised options when the population supports them, but once that dwindles… well it’s just not viable.
Whatever the options for MCC, I’m sure Infinite will support those and more at launch and hopefully for years after
I would say yes, or who knows
The answer is more than likely, yes.
Microsoft servers are located globally. I’m sure you’ll have a servers within your general area.
Halo MCC shows you what kind of servers are available right now for that game and will give you a good idea at what you could expect for Infinite.

To address your Halo 5 remark,
Halo 5’s population is very very low compared to what it used to be.
Servers are selected by local majority - this means if 5 out of 8 people in the match are based in or near one area then the nearest server to them will be chosen.
Unfortunately I imagine the AUS/NZ population for Halo 5 is low enough that you’re more than likely going to end up on US/EU servers depending when exactly you’re playing and the rest of your local population is playing too.
If you’re the one of few playing from your local region playing a game mode at that time then you’re almost always going to get a foreign server.
It’s not that Microsoft doesn’t support your region , it’s just your region isn’t pulling majority population in matches.
I’m from West coast NA and I hope you guys get your own servers.
