Yes, its true although they said that they improved Matchmaking so you would be match up woth people in your area. But how often does that work?

this was discussed a while back. From what i remember MW2 does have the locale search function that was in WAW however it is just that this option is permanently enable (which means they didnt need to show it at all). So in theory when you search it should throw u into the closest available game.

Youll noticed my post was from before the game came out right? I was going off what IW had said, not my fault it didnt turn out as expected.

Not sure if you noticed, but when you first look for a game in a party or alone you may be put in a room by your self. This is an opertunity to invite friends to play with you, you need 8 to start team deathmatch etc, if you don't get enough people it will then look for a game with the best connection for all players now in that screenand put you in there.    best advise, Get at least 8 players befor you look then invite them on that first screen (they cant join via the "joinable" option from dash), as the old way dosen't work.
Adapt or die, in game as in real life

what was the point in making warfare 2 then all it is are new maps, perks and other class changes without the search preference that was in cod 5 its useless

Re: MW2 no search preferences?
Yeh im finding myself in a lot of American rooms too. I dont know if it'll help much but there is a online petition someone has started on the Infinity Ward forum. There is currently around 50pages of signatures to it so far, and its basically requesting that Infinity Ward implement a local search only function like what was included with World at War. Here is the link if your interested in having your say... http://www.infinityward.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=26&t=165194
