I bought the game on steam last Saturday and unfortunately, it’s like no one plays this game anymore, is taking at least 10 minutes to find a match, I spend more time on matchmaking and actually playing the game, and I’m from US
I thought only Overwatch had this kind of issue
What are you searching for? Only Rumble Pit (8 Player FFA) takes that long for me.
I can even find H2 BTB in the evenings faster than that.
When are you searching for H2? I havent been able to find a H2 BTB match in almost a year
Around 8PM EST, pretty consistent.
Ah, thank you. Thats 5pm PST for me, im usually just leaving work. So that explains why I don’t find any by 7.
As for not finding matches on pc… Its probably worse population wise and well, alot of us on console have been turning crossplay off. For me its because I started to regularly running into cheaters from pc.
Theres definitely alot of other more prevalent reasons id imagine.
Matchmaking has been struggling for a long time. The game hasn’t had good matchmaking times for a while sadly. I’ve even had wait times going from 1 to 3 hours in some playlists.
I got around to trying MCC out again the other day after mainly sticking to infinite when I want to play an FPS, and yeah waits can be pretty brutal. For the games that were already popular like 3, Reach, and 4 I haven’t noticed that much of a change, and with the CGB there’s always some match of Reach you can find. For the less popular titles though, like CE and 2 classic? Absolute torture to find a match. It makes me sad, I really want to play some BTB in those games but it just way too long to get in a game, and for 2 especially the only things in the CGB are silly free for all matches with boosted player counts.
Yeah I’ve known the search times could take long but it’s definitely longer than usual, I’m currently on PC at the moment but will see what it’s like on my Series X. Would like to know how many people have cross play turned off. I’ve yet to encounter obvious cheaters but I’ve had my suspicions.
Myself and my buddy find that if the search takes long, back out and start the search again. For some weird reason it will find a game almost instantly (depending on what gamemode you are searching)
I don’t know why this is a thing, but compared to launch this is pretty minor - launch MCC could have you searching for hours.
