Ok so no offence intended to any body/party/religion etc. etc.
but im kinda hoping for a region selector for reach multiplayer.
I'm in Europe (U.K.) and for that reason I would like to play with English speaking people first but more importantly people I can get good connections with. And im sure you guys in the U.S. would always prefer getting a U.S host instead of the 1 in 1,000,000 times you get an "Euro" host? Where Lag and "Ping" times turn your games into more of a frustration match than a slayer match!

Here’s what Luke had to say about the differences in treatment between the Spartans and Elites in Reach:

“Instead of piece-by-piece customization like the Spartans, Elite customization is a full model swap with models selected from the various Elite classes appearing throughout the Campaign. There are all kinds of reasons for this, not the least of which is our continued emphasis on the Spartan as your identity in Reach.”

Have you used it before?"redacted for being stupid"

A region filter has been implemented in other games, and it works better than the "good connection" filter, especially when searching with a team.

Do you search alone, or with a group?

I usually search in a group with my friends, and when we turn on the good connection filter it gives us off host bad connection, or (rarely) on host, bad connections.

That why I consider the filter unreliable, since it seems to only work when you are searching for a game by yourself.

Yes I've used it. Have you? Its garbage!
I just think a region selector would give better overall results. The "Good Connection" setting can take aaaaages and also dose not give that good results.
