Subject: Search filter, Pretty please?

Nothing is so embarrassing as watching someone do something that you said could never be done.

I live in Australia. In Halo 3's matchmaking I encountered one threat: The American Host. Please add a search filter by country option please.

For all you people who don't know what I mean in COD: WaW, there is a thing to press 'X' and you can choose Local, Local only and Worldwide.



If your extremely lazy and didn't read: Pretty Please with a cherry on top, Can I has Search filter?

Don't upset Achronos or you'll end up with a dog's head in a jar in your mailbox.

Yup, our connection sucks. Nothing much we can do anyway since dedicated servers will be way too expensive to implement.

Chances are the servers would all be US hosted and perhaps in europe and possibly even japan, but australia probably wouldn't. There's no MGS team their. Well.... technically Wingnut, but, I dunno

I'd say searching by a good connection would probably work.

The thing about dedicated servers is that, you know, this is Halo. Dedicated servers able to hold hundreds of thousands people at a time would be very, very unconventional.

That's not what dedicated servers are. You're thinking of a search filter. If you've ever played L4D on 360 (and your Australian) you'll know that dedicated servers are a bad idea, because they'll all be overseas and it will be physically impossible to get a non-laggy game. Search filters, on the other hand, are a brilliant idea.
