    I am in the Marine Corps. I am currently stationed within the United States. My fiance is in the Air Force and was just stationed in Kapone, Germany (in Kaiserslautern). To be able to communicate with each other besides just over the phone, we thought it would be a good idea for her to get an xbox, that way we can play games together. However, I was wondering, is this really possible? I went to check on COD MW2 for example to see if I can change the region and it was not possible. Same thing for Rocket League. Someone please help me figure out if I can/can't play cross region because I don't want her to buy an xbox only to not be able to play with me.

    :)

    region issue

    Hey there,

    When you sign onto your Xbox Live account, you will be connected to your local server. In terms of the games, I do believe you connect to people within different servers that are around the world. This means, I am correct, you will always be playing with
    different people from different countries.

    On Black Ops 3, I am unaware of any option which allows you to just connect with people from your country, and maybe your always been matched with people from different countries that are online and are looking for other people to join their public lobbies.
    As I understand it, the system matches you up the best it can in lobbies that you have good connection to.

    Although, I could be wrong and I could have missed something. If you are wanting to play with people from your region, why not post in the discussion forums in your region, asking if some of the community here would play with you - that are from your region?

    I hope this has helped in some way, and only go by my knowledge and the support articles

    Regards,

    you have to follow their rules and yes they have their own CONTENT laws under USK

    anything to do with xbox live has to follow the region of your account regardless of your console setting

    as per the international laws on content every service must abide by international laws

    what is allowed in US isn't nessarily allowed unmodified in Germany or any other place

    as the migration tool is not for temporary moves its suggested you make a temporary account for local purchases

    but as long as you do not live in the region of your account you will continue have issues with downloads and yes that's enforced by content laws

    USK is the governing body of Germany and they have the most strict of rules and one of the highest list of banned and controlled games

    Region issues

    in order to get region locked games your account region, console region, and physical region have to match. being that you got a France 360 but have a Brazil account and are in Brazil you will have issues downloading ANY region locked content sorry.
