I hope bungie will bring european playlists to Halo Reach.
I mean just like now, but then you have team slayer only for americans and team slayer only for europeans, maybe also for both european and americans,

But why ?

I just tested my ping to a server in New York.
My ping is 108.
Thats enough to experience a lot of lag. To a server in de western part of america i had a ping of 182.

Because mostly americans get host this is a real issue to european people. Especially for the people that want to do well in MLG and really care about winning.

A lot of you will probably say i need a better connection, but i have like almost the best internet speed i can wish for. It,s not because i don't have enough mb or what ever, It's the distance to the host of the game tha makes it lag.

In most game i play i,m the only 1 lagging because the other 7 players are american. When i do have a good connection cause perhaps a german guy gets host most americans say that we are brigging or hacking. Then they finally know how it is to experience lag.

So please bungie bring light to this idea so a lot of european players will be happy.
Probably people from australia and Asia are experiencing the same thing.

I seems dedicated servers will not be possible, go read it here:http://www.bungie.net/Forums/posts.aspx?postID=8455638

On the other hand it might still be possible to have different playlists for european and American people. Why not for asians and australians ?
The majority of players live or in America, or in Europe. I have no problem with a playlist generally for australian people, but won't it take a long time to find a game ?

Yups, good ideas. I always get double melees whenever I hit B. Grifball is my new form of Hell.
Make a country only option. So if you are from Scotland, you only get paired with other Scottish people. England, you get paired with English, and so on.

yeah, even the "good connection" option doesn't work like it should be working. The only good connection is a full green bar. Miss 1 dot and you already feel your lagging. Especially when everyone else ( Americans ) do have full green bars.

your idea is about SERVERS, not playlists.

and I agree. I'm french, and even if there is ONE american and SEVEN europeans, then the american WILL get host for sure.
the game doesn't choose the one with the best connection, it first selects all american players, THEN the best connection.


you know I'm right >.>

'Tis true. You are right. I would love to play on an American connection and have host, just to see how good I am.

I'm far from being a bad player (I'm no excellent, but I'm very decent) ... and when in some games, every players have like 7 kills and one has 25, no doubt it's the host. and I'm not even checking his country (because chances he's american are 100%). it's not because I suck, because the previous game I had like 22 and the game after I have 23 ... >.> but this time, ONE american played with SEVEN people from the rest of the world... and everybody lags. everybody but him.

he has a point, smaller countries don't have enough people playing for it to work

Have it based in areas then. Or even time zones to a certain extent.
I'm not a bad player, check out the K/D ratio, but I know with better connection I could be better. My house is ancient and I'm on 2mb broadband, but i can only fit 0.5 down my rotting cables.

All our dreams come true, if we have the courage to pursue them.
The friend in my adversity I shall always cherish most. I can better trust those who helped to relieve the gloom of my dark hours than those who are so ready to enjoy with me the sunshine of my prosperity.

Activision chooses not to show lag in CoD4. Instead of it lagging, they chose smooth gameplay, but bullets will go through your targets, and such. I don't believe they use servers either. Note: This paraphrase was from a Employee in the H3 forum, so If you want the source, go quote him.

I read that servers don't work unfortunately.
Dedicated servers seem to be to expensive.

Playlists for different continents should still work btw.
Hope bungie wants to do this. Lag is the most annoying thing.

Aye it is. I can remember this thread, it was one of the earliest ones I posted on!

They should do it, but they won't.

In my opinion, that would totally take away the diversity of Xbox Live.

At the moment in Halo 3 you can choose to sort via skill, connection or language. Or you could just go into matchmaking and get paired with people from all over the world. We are suggesting that instead of language they put in a continental option. So you play with people from your country. English people and Americans speak the same language, and that is where the busiest lag stream appears.

I am an American and i dont see the issue. If you are a EUro gamer then why dont you just make the language of your x-box german or french. That way you can use the language only option and play people from germany and france (also parts of switzerland). Americans for themost part dont have their xbox's set to german or french but i bet most germans and french do as well. that way you get no americans in your playlist.

on an unrelated note the europeans need to stop talking trash to american players. Dont make us use our bases in france, italy and germany to F&%$ you guys up now. JP JP JP lol but seriously stop the tihs talking
