I live in Australia, most matchmakers don't realise why matching us up with American hosts is a bad thing.

EDIT: cool my 1337th post

That depends.

Some matchmaking selects someone with a good connection to be host, which is fine. Bad matchmaking picks anyone to be host (Transformers WFC), this can lead to laggy games.

It's ok. Easy. But I'd like to be able to pick newbie servers and the like. Specifically in MW2, I didn't play a ton, I think I might be level 60ish - never prestiged. So when I get into a game with 3rd, 4th, 5th prestige it's like... uhh... fuck.

In Halo you kind of need a good matchmaking thing, for 4v4s and stuff. Hopefully in Reach they will keep the temporary banhammers for those who love to quit, and that'll imporve it greatly. There's no freedom but it's serious business... sort of.

However I love to just go on counter-strike and hit a good server in my favourites. It might have 12-22 people on it, it doesn't matter if people quit or not really.. you get switched over to even the teams and all that and so for things higher than say 6v6, I love servers. It gives you so much freedom, whereas in matchmaking you play what IT wants to do.

I don't like it 'cause 9/10 times I don't get matched to a local game and have a ping of over 9000.
I do like it 'cause it's easy.
But I prefer dedicated server browsers.
That made my night, sir. Thank you.

its a mixed bag, depends on the game and the platform your playing on, but overall i do like matchmaking, but i also love browsing for what im looking for

matchmaking is faster and you obviously hop right into the game but sometimes finding the exact game i want when lots of people are on is good too
