I have not bothered with FFA before with the exception of a few odd games previously. But I figured I´d give it a go and do my 10 placement matches the other day.
I instantly found 3 games but after that I cannot find a single game! Admittedly I always search for games on focused settings but have gone with balanced in FFA to try to increase my chances but I just can´t find any games! 3 more or less instant games a few days ago, and since then no games after searching for a good 40 minutes or spread out over a couple of days. I did place second in my first game and then won the other two - is that why I can´t find any games now if its trying to pitch me with higher ranks?
I will say I´m an EU player and will definitely not search on expanded as there is no point in playing competetively on distant servers. I´m already suffering enough from latency.
Same thing happened to me a few days ago. I’m in Scotland and had to set my search to Expanded.
Only got 2 games and then got what you got. Couldn’t get a game.
I’m going with your theory that the game is trying to pitch you against higher ranks, plus perhaps a small population coupled with inadequate servers. Lately I’ve been experiencing something similar. I couldn’t find a single match in Halo 5 for three days and I am located in the midwest United States. Any other online AAA title worked fine. Restarted my router, reset my Xbox, re-installed Halo 5, nothing worked. Then all of the sudden I could find a match this morning.

That was it as I suddenly found a game versus a couple of onyxes. I got so excited I finally found me a game to play I played like crap instead of being focused and prepared for the game lol
