Matchmaking issues in Australia

I've turned to this forum because I have exhausted all other avenues and still have no idea why I can't find a game.

When I search for multiple game types on multiple servers I cannot find a game. I left it running yesterday for 30 minutes with no luck. The only time I can find a game without a problem is when playing with friends, which is not ideal as they are rarely
on.

I don't have any other issues with other games, for instance I can find a game in Halo 5 in a matter of seconds.

My NAT type is open (behind a cone NAT), I have forwarded ports, tried DMZ and contacted my ISP but to no avail. I have also tried every Xbox support trouble shooting step. I have even tried mobile broadband but still nothing.

Is anyone else having the same issues? Has anyone got a solution?

Halo MCC snubbed?

Your best bet if you are in New Zealand or Australia is the Team Slayer, Halo 3 and Halo 4 playlists. They keep adding playlists despite the population issues but I think that is mainly to cater to the US players who are having no issues finding games. Shouldn't
have any problems with lag at least as most of the games I manage to get here in Australia seem to be on dedicated servers now.

I'm going to give matchmaking and multiplayer another chance today since it's the summer holidays for NZ/Australia. See if it's any better.

 

Its not you man I am in the US and the servers are a ghost town here as well. Think the MP for it is just dead. Might have to do with the fact that the Gears 4 Beta is out right now for UE owners.
