Forum Discussion
This issue needs a bump and a devs attention.
Is this not the Technical Support forums, you know where you receive support for technical issues? Cause I and many others here can't find servers with people in them. It's a bit of a problem in a multiplayer only game.
No server at all, no game mode playable. What a * game. This is the worst matchmaking ever, and I say that after playing GTA-IV and GTA-V.
This needs instant patching, if not the players will go back to Battlefield 4 or whatever.

OK so now I know what works for me. I did not have to connect directly to my modem instead of my router nor did I have to disable my firewall. I noticed that the windows firewall was allowing all ports and pretty much routers and firewalls don't need to be configured to join or host a server any more so it's not helpful to tell people what ports the game uses.
It is the matchmaking system itself. It is exceedingly rare for some people or all people to find a populated server. I have found that drop zone and heroes vs. villains sometimes have matches I can join depending on time of day (drop zone during the day and heroes vs. villains at night pacific time).
I suggest you continue trying to connect to servers. It is helpful to know that you do NOT HAVE TO WAIT forever to find a game! If a game exists you will connect immediately so after the search goes down to 50-60% I would stop trying and attempt another game mode.
Never select an individual map: just search for games by game mode or else you will truly never find a match.
Don't bother configuring your firewall or router because it's the game and not your configuration. Keep trying and don't give up but don't spend a long time every time you start up the game because you will just get frustrated. Try drop zone and heroes vs. villains and if you don't connect try a couple other modes and then quit and try again in a few hours.
That's how I got some gametime in.

Also if I were you I would hold on to this game until it works because it's a great game and it has amazing graphics. It's very fun and it's different from Battlefield. Also I do not see the overwhelming need to pay for additional content out of the box like people were saying.
