Why does nobody join my custom games?

I can be waiting for an hour before a single person joins, and when they do they leave pretty fast after seeing its just me and them. Is anyone else having this problem.

maybe is a bad game, when i create a custom, the people joins inmediatly

I can put on maps and gametypes others like and are always playing but still i rarely get anyone join.

What kind of gamemodes do you normally use and how many players do you allow to join?

I usually play infection game variants like the empire strikes back and fat kid; jenga tower. those types. I allow 16 players and open to all.

What I’d recommend is to increase the player cap gradually, building up to 16.

I think if you set it to 16 immediately, it puts your match at the end of the Custom Browser match list.

These are the game modes that I usually host:

FFA Snipers.
FFA Magnums.
FFA Tactical.

Do you smell? :smiley:

I don’t what could be the reason, but do you invite people or just hope people will join?

Maybe you should show some more ankle when trying to attract people.

Even if you are starting popular custom game modes and maps, there is no guarantee your game will get populated. Especially with the popular games, you have a lot of competition, and those games require lots of people to be fun. No one is going to join a fat kid or jenga game with only 1 person in it.

Take the advice from earlier in the thread and don’t set the game population to max straight away, so that you’re more towards the front of the browser. Also, consider starting up a game that isn’t already on the customs browser (like, if there are 8 jenga lobbies, don’t do another jenga lobby). Above all else, be patient.

You can also check out Recruiting here on Waypoint of use the Xbox LFG service to find people to join you in Custom Games.

It just depends on what people like. Also knowing someone puts this type of gametype. So people are more likely to frequent that person

Trying somthing else might help. Not everyone wants to play Infection. Try Castle Wars, or maybe one of the Survive variations.

You need to make it an interesting custom game with a catchy title and maybe start off the custom game with a few of your friends so when people join it’s not just the two of u.
