I still dont understand how they work.

Since I live in Australia, I want to join Australian servers. Is this possible for me to handpick Australian servers to play on?

I keep hearing that it randomly selects you to any server, which would suck.

Could somebody tell me how the servers work?

There is now an option to pick what you want Matchmaking to focus on to find a match.

Wow thats stupid, so what if you want to play with a friend on the same server?

So the makers behind Halo 3 havnt actually said how the servers will work?

So I could essentially pick an Australian server to play on?

No, you can tell it to find a match with a good connection instead of trying to find a match faster.

So basicly it will try to find you a better server instead of finding a server faster.

i think as long as the games running on dedicated servers you wont get much lag , i played a lot of COD4 BETA and i think its running on dedicated servers because i got no lag , i live in saudi arabia by the way.
