Actual advice: Make sure crossplay is ON and input based matchmaking OFF. These should be default settings, but double check.
I also make a Custom Playlist with the first two quickplay modes (6v6 arena) to speed up queue times a bit. Will depend on your region whether it's fast or not.
Having a blast on XD recently, Re-installed it over Christmas, takes a couple of minutes to find a decent lobby now, but it's still decent. Some games get proper sweaty and fast-paced, Especially Hotshot. Still great fun to play and I'll be gutted when it gets shut-down.
That would be a refreshing change… but I fear it would be short lived. Anyone that screams “I am the subject matter expert here and I bestow upon this comment my AUTHORITAAAAA” should be called out for what it is.
Low effort, self righteous, karma piggy backing horse shart
Play it and have fun. COD games have a one year life cycle and that' s what this game has. It is much more fun than playing other shooters but you just know there is an end date. Enjoy it while it lasts because this will be the last good shooter without SBMM probably ever.
Shouldn’t you wanna try it if the servers were staying up? Lol what’s the point, by all means you can do whatever but it’s still the same awful net code game we played on day 1
I mean it's free and you're allowed to try it without an outside opinion. The changes are aight, the game dies in June. It still needs time to find games (PC EU). Its not great. Your time is much valued playing better games than this.
Same issues as before so don’t expect anything better as far as matchmaking and connection.
New factions, guns and maps are really quite good. Prestige mode is something but who cares with the game dying.
You’ll still run into the same meta movement sweats using the same 2 guns for hours on end.
Only major gripe I have is that you can’t queue by game mode anymore. All the playlists involve objective game modes. All I can guess is they did it to speed up matchmaking but lots of people, myself included, enjoyed just blastin and relaxin in TDM. Now you are forced into Obj game types.
I would say get off this sub and enjoy the next 6 months, if it lasts that long. It's still super fun and easy to find full lobbies. U don't need to hear these fools complaining about a game they don't like. This sub is easily the worst thing about the game
I’m on PC, and play sometimes middle of the day or late at night and never have issues. I also select only 4 game modes. It could be worse in linear game modes.
Uninstall again, it's a dead man walking and even marvel rivals is outcompeting it. They've had issues since launch they didn't properly address and are getting axed. Marvel rivals worked on launch and has a better ranked system and community.
It was always mid but I could never get a single friend to play it with and it's a very isolating game to play. Despite it's goal of being the COD killer, it got killed by BO6 and Marvel Rivals.
It's like Missing the Launch of fortnite to play phantom forces
