Matchmaking
Hello EA friends.
There is a significant problem with keeping parties together during matchmaking. Yesterday, I was with a group of four playing Quads. In every single case, the matchmaking failed. In every case, we need to quit to the menu, restart matchmaking, and wait to see who doesn't load.
EVERYTIME.
Even with this, we know that someone will likely fail to join us. Then whoever does load has to wait to enter the heli, then quit the game and try again, and again, and again, and again.
Oftentimes, we even quit the game and reload it to see if that works for the person who can't load. This is no way to play a modern game.
This is NOT isolated; this is typical. Another example is if you happen to find a person or two and you want to continue to play with them and hit 'X' to stay with squad, it a 50/50 proposition. It's intensely frustrating to win a game with some randoms, have fun, want to "run it back," and oops. Nope, matchmaking doesn't work.
It was so bad yesterday we all just quit playing the game; I'd say in total we lost 45 minutes just trying to load into a game as a group. It's always bad; yesterday was dysfunction on another level. I've yet to meet someone who says the matchmaking works; it's not me. I play on XBOX with strong bandwidth and no issues on any other game.
It sure would be nice, out of respect for people's time and frustration, if you could get this fixed.
Kindly,
D
