The Battlefield community has been providing feedback to DICE about the matchmaking system since it was first introduced in BFV. All feedback has been carefully listened to, then ignored.
I believe DICE is using Amazon's FlexMatch matchmaking system. I don't know if DICE has misconfigured the matchmaking settings, but sitting in a matchmaking queue for hours without finding a match is clearly broken.
Levelcapgaming recently did a video exposing how upper management at Activision is forcing skill based matchmaking on game developers.
The difference between CoD and Battlefield matchmaking is CoD created their own matchmaking system that actually works and puts you into games fast. While Battlefield's matchmaking uses Amazon FlexMatch which works poorly in comparison and causes players to give up and go play other games.
Oof. As a door nail.
Australia. Friday night game night. Double XP. Right after a dev video blog released.
Still can't get perfectly normal All Out Warfare Conquest happening.
PLEASE, COME ON. HEAR US. Lower the number of players required to start a match. ☹️
Try Exodus conquest. I'm in Australia, and it seems you can generally find enough players for a 128 conquest match on Tuesday when the new weekly missions drop, after that most days you have to play the 64 player mode or a hardcore server on portal.
ps. Totally agree with your sentiment about AI xp, I've made a couple post recently because its pretty much impossible to unlock the new guns for BF42, BC2 and BF3 since there aren't any populated servers with those eras without bots.
