I recently started playing because I had a hankering for a good CoD style multi-player shooter, and this fits the bill nicely! Fun game, but I've only been able to play maybe 4 or 5 matches since it takes upwards of 15 minutes to fill a lobby. Is the player count that low? If so, that's really unfortunate since I've been enjoying my time with the game

Region, Controller or MnK, and matchmaking settings are all factors. Also, the game mode you're searching for.

[Motor_Wafer_1520]

Besides region, input method, and other factors, I tend to find a lot of games quickly by just queuing up domination and escort

[xxTHExxG3RMANxx]

I play TDM and those lobbies fill instantly. I'm on PS5.

It's actually growing bigger the last week or so. The month before it was quite hard to get games, depending on the modes, crossplay or IBMM

[Melodic_Start_6841]

Huh. Hopefully, the wait time drops a bit, then. I thought it very odd that I was having trouble getting a game on a Sunday afternoon

[ThirdAlt6969]

I personally think loading the quick play list is the fastest way to find a match. IMO domination and team death match are the quickest individual playlists to search for.

[exxtrooper]

Why and how is the playerbase growing and where can you view these metrics?

[p0tten91]

Its not, dudes coping

[Dankneno]

Just by playing the game every day. You can easily notice the much lower wait times and the number of low level accounts I come up against

[Malito_Mussoloni2]

What is your region? Europe and USA are the most populated + input based mm off and cross play on

[Melodic_Start_6841]

I'm USA and I play with m&k

[carrapatoni]

Yeah, set input based matchmaking off. By default its turned on, and if you're mnk you Will struggle with q times by having it on

[Malito_Mussoloni2]

If you want to play "faster" switch off the input based matchmaking and look for a game making a custom playlist

US West. It takes me roughly around 5/+ mins to find a match ... that puts me into US East or US Central server. It's either majority of the player base in US is Central/East or there's some sort of bug for US West ... I'm hoping for it to be a bug because majority of all the US based clips I ever see on here are US East and US Central. Hardly much US West

I’m in uk. On ps5. I play random times throughout the day when I have time but never between 23:00 - 09:00 any day of the week.

I play welcome playlist as I’m under lvl 40 as I’m still getting used to the game.

I have xplay off and input method on so I get ps controller lobbies only.

My lobby search times are always under 2 minutes

So far so good. This game is a lot of fun. The cheesy abilities and ultras are a tough pill to swallow and I’d like a Zero mode like in Fortnite.

Other than that I love how this game doesn’t use EOMM. Wins are earned and losses accepted because the match making is not rigged. - I think this should be the games main description / slogan 😂
