PC player count too low?
I'm playing BFN on US server on PC, but most my games are not even half full. Sometimes I get 3v3's, which is not that fun. Anyone else have this issue, or am I playing at the wrong time?

wrong time & wrong platform i think
- @ChairmanRay I can't answer specifically for PC, but I think most platforms have found currently that the lobbies are a lot fuller when the kids are around, so mid-afternoon to mid-evening & weekends.
Outside these times if you can't find a game, you could try changing the region (option in multiplayer portal).
I think there have been a few threads about problems with empty lobbies / match-making though, so it might be useful scrolling through the topics posted or searching. Would be better after merge with Steam
I was in full 12v12 matches of TT last night for a few rounds and a full Ops just before leaving for the night and this is typical for my play time in the game. PC US east, my play time is a little sporadic as I have other stuff to get done, but my peak time is between 5 and 9PM central time.
I still get those weird empty matches that pop up and come back later and get a full match. I've had that since at least GW2 if not GW1.
- @ChairmanRay I have the issue. I can find full TT if at the right time, however all the other modes doesn't have a single player in. I haven't been given a chance to play a single match of arena or mixed mode... btw I'm on the asian server.

If the game can’t find a slot on a busy game then it starts a new match with you as the first player. Sometimes the new match kicks off, but often it won’t. If I get an empty lobby I do the same as you and quit/restart a few times to see if I can find a game in progress.
Battlefront is the only other multiplayer game I’ve played so I don’t know how it works in other games, but it would be neat if the game handled this a little better, since it’s currently impossible to tell if you’ve been put into an empty lobby because there really is no one else playing, or because all the other games are full.
I joined a TT last night and it was me and one other player. Tonight getting a full op has been difficult and I find that I am playing with the same people over and over. PC player count has been pretty disappointing.
