OP, now you're talking alright!
servers = win. let us choose on which server we connect so we won't have americans whine about how much lag they have to play with (*cough* as if europeans NEVER have lag playing with americans, but they don't care *cough*).
continental server > (american) host.Servers would be too expensive, it would be easier to have a regional filter so Aussies could only play other Aussies, Europeans other Europeans, and Americans other Americans, if they chose (similar to language filter in current MM).
language filter is far from being the answer.
see, I am french. if I use that filter, I'll only play with other frenchies... which is about 1000 different persons per playlist. it'd take ages for me to find a game. or maybe i'd be matched with canadians, and the problem will not be solved.
for people living in the UK, who speak english, they end up playing with australians and americans (since you all share the same language).
servers might cost something, but don't we ALL pay 60$ for XBL? we europeans pay sixty EUROS, which makes 70$. plus the money for each halo game. plus money for each map packs. plus money for MSPs. M$ has way enough money to buy and maintain servers. if pedos can buy their own servers to upload their files, surely it doesn't cost this much.I'm saying it would be similar to filtering for language, quickest match, or best connection (the current MM filters), only now you could filter regions (N. America, S. America, Europe, Asia, Australia, Africa).
unfortunately, even with the best connection filter, I usually end up with americans. I doubt I'm the only non american that have to bear with it ...
the second problem is that the host is ALWAYS american, whatever connection he has. even if he's the only american in the whole game, he'll host the game for sure, making everybody lag and ending up with 25 kills while the second best player has 7 at best.
