However, nothing comes close to infuriating the users than its weird matchmaking system. Most of the time, you will end up getting a server that is bugged with high pings, sometimes going up to 200+. The fact that the game doesn’t allow you to choose the server of your choice proves to be the final nail in the coffin. Due to this lack of ability to prioritize the matchmaking server region, you’ll have to settle with whatever the game has to offer, which more often than not is pretty laggy. But thanks to the great work from the gaming community, you now have the option to block all those distant laggy servers and manually select the one of your choice. All that you need to do is just type in the server IPs (in the Host file) of regions that you need to block. The servers that you leave out from the Host Files will be the only servers that would be assigned to your game. Sounds interesting, right? So without any further ado, let’s check out how you could select the server of your choice in Halo Infinite.

The Automated Method
All you need to do is download the Halo Infinite Server Block application from GitHub. Then install it and proceed with the on-screen instructions to use it. The entire process from installing to using it only requires a few clicks, however, there’s an asterisk. Windows Defender might flag this app as a Trojan, though it is more likely a False Positive.
The reason for this false alarm could be the fact that a third-party app is requesting administrator privileges and trying to modify the host file. You could also double-check its entire source code at GitHub and verify that there’s no malicious code. However, if you still have any doubts, then it’s better to try out the manual method listed below.
