My guess is they are likely going to have to loosen criteria across the board. The matchmaking ques are still tough. I have lost 42 people on my friends list to other games. This OT update has been rough to say the least. The overall pop seems lower. I have no proof with the exception of queing for a game type 3 times this week which ended in error stating "not enough players to support this gametype" and try a different one. So that is either a new error so we only waste our time once...or it is an old error that has been in existence forever but I had never seen it before because the pops were always fine.



Past 2 years: 3 to 5 Matchmaking errors in this entire span.

Since OT update: I am now up to 43 errors. Keep in mind each error takes about 4 to 6min to present itself. That is 172-258 minutes (2hr 52min - 4hr 18min) completely wasting our time. We have made tweaks the last week like queing with 5 or 6 but it is a sad band aid fix. The "draft" to see who makes the cut is depressing and then we finally que a game with 6 and then realize there is a full 8 squad of sweat on the other side that beats the heck out of us. Not all the time of course but not finding a game with 7 or 8 forcing us to reduce our squad. The other night I solo qued in BTB just to see how that world lives and got a game fairly quickly....against a full 8 Inner Circle squad that beat us badly...but at least I got to shoot weapons instead of watching the search screen.
