Halo Infinite multiplayer

Laughs in EU?

I don't think one of you ****ers have pulled me onto a ZA server yet - but then I do die a lot so won't be able to tell the difference.
 
Sorry might be a silly question, but is the this the server that I want to take out of the list to get local servers?

pfmsqos.southafricanorth.cloudapp.azure.com

Doesn't them having a high ping affect you in anyway though? I actually gave up on the game when I wasn't able to get back onto local servers, but since I found this fix I'm gonna give it another go again because that one local game I played was so much fun

Was going to ask the same, because yesterday I dodged most of a needler attack, with only a couple landing, only to die moments later :sneaky:

Many other similar instances. And my ping is like 2ms.

I think the netcode isn't that great unfortunately, I play on 4-5ms, yesterday I killed someone, still ran 2 steps, then suddenly I fall over dead and the killfeed says that person killed me with a melee.
 
Okay yeah the netcode isn't great or something is up, I was fighting someone, he kills me and starts running away and then I see him fall over and I get the from the grave badge.
 
Reading the reviews and steam remarks the campaign is missing a lot of stuff, maybe wait for more updates before buying ?

Feels like Cyberfail all over again !!
 
It doesn't have co-op or mission select so you can't quickly replay missions after you're done, that's about it from what I've heard.

It's a first party MS game. Nobody buys anymore, it's "free".

And Cyberpunk is awesome except for those still playing on Sega mega drive...
 
Hope this isn't a stupid question, but I don't see how adding static routes to the servers can block traffic. Surely it makes more sense to block them at a firewall level? I have added all the static routes, but I still get put into games with high ping. I'm really enjoying the game, but the high ping games kill me!!

What are you doing wrong? Putting the IP's of all of the other servers (except the South African one) to direct to 0.0.0.0 makes the game think it can't connect to those servers, so it forces itself to SA.
Your hosts file should look like this:
C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts
# Copyright (c) 1993-2009 Microsoft Corp.
#
# This is a sample HOSTS file used by Microsoft TCP/IP for Windows.
#
# This file contains the mappings of IP addresses to host names. Each
# entry should be kept on an individual line. The IP address should
# be placed in the first column followed by the corresponding host name.
# The IP address and the host name should be separated by at least one
# space.
#
# Additionally, comments (such as these) may be inserted on individual
# lines or following the machine name denoted by a '#' symbol.
#
# For example:
#
# 102.54.94.97 rhino.acme.com # source server
# 38.25.63.10 x.acme.com # x client host
# localhost name resolution is handled within DNS itself.
# 127.0.0.1 localhost
# ::1 localhost

Thanks, but I'm on console so I'm using the static route method. I understand with the hosts file that we 0 the IPs so there is no route to the servers, but I'm confused about adding static routes on console as surely this would do the opposite of the hosts file with 0 IPs?
 
Some of these multiplayer games have gotten too easy with the campaign dropping. Either that or the matchmaking failed because this was the most boring oddball game ever:

I have successfully set it up for my Xbox by setting the static routes in the router. So I added all the servers except SA. You then need to ensure it's working as expected by trying to tracert one of the supposed blocked servers via a PC on your network (don't ping, they won't respond even if the routing is fine). If the tracert works it's not being blocked correctly.

I guess in theory you could just block the servers on your firewall instead of static routing - the whole point is to block the request before it gets out of the local network.

I only ever find SA-hosted games now.

Thanks very much. I'll play around with my settings and see.
I want more local games coz I'm really anjoying Halo.

Add me if you want - HalfLifeZA
 
Anyone playing here on a pc? I assume you have to change setting manually to play on Sa server ?
 
Is this game worth checking out? Or is it like a Battle Royale setup (Which I hate)? P2W at all?
