COD MW3 Matchmaking problem

[PablitoG21]

at 2:42 i knew how you felt... depressing but that how it goes...I'M A REGULAR 3 bar player fucking always i have to compete against people with 4 bar...it's really hard to keep my kd positive and i struggle get a fucking kill...at least let me play with players who have 3 bar connection not 4 there i can do something...btw mister i liked your video and if you answer to my goddamn question i'll subscribe..... i wanted to know who's fault is that i'm not playing on a 4 bar connection

[TheFabytm]

@PablitoG21 Hey there!I know how bad it feels, but unfortunately the matchmaking is not really great:( The problem is that if you are in Europe, which I think you are, by watching your channel, your aim is to have a small ping to UK/France/Germany.I say that because that's where most Europe Xbox and for that matter PS3 people are!There are players in other regions as well, but usually not enough...I had 120 ping to London before, but I changed my ISP and now I have 30 to London, so 4 bars...

[PablitoG21]

@TheFabytm thanks for the answer bro youre a fucking beast !!! firstly i live in Greece and last but not least i wanted to know WHAT should i do in order to get a 4 bar connection...i can't do this anymore ... i enter the game and i cry from dessperation ... i almost killed my self the other day while trying to hit me with the controler....:'( please answer back pleaseeee

[TheFabytm]

@PablitoG21 Don't get mad, like really, I know I kinda get sometimes too, but it doesn't make sense.The only thing you can do is either to talk to your ISP and ask them if they have better speed and ping in your area or to switch your ISP for another one!There isn't really much you can do other than that!

[PablitoG21]

@TheFabytm ok bro thanks for everything..god bless you and your family

[TheFabytm]

@PablitoG21 dude, just don't get mad!Games are for fun, I know nowadays they're kinda frustrating but forget about it!I'll have a giveaway at 100 subscribers, so subscribe if you want to enter!I'll give away xbox live points/PSN points!

[DanielCorazzari]

I live in Brazil and I have this problem

[TheFabytm]

@DanielCorazzari it's been fixed:)

[horyatm]

On PC everything is working just fine, I didn't have any problems yet. But I didn't play everytime with romanians, sometimes I reconise them because their playing name is like yours with RO in brackets. Sometimes i have problems with the host, in the middle of the game it stops and then it resumes, but it's really annoying. Sorry about the language, btw i'm romanaian too

[TheFabytm]

@horyatm I know you're romanian:P yea, host migration is pretty bad.There aren't any problems on the xbox anymore, cause they have been fixed:)

[lucacas123456]

@TheFabytm mine still does it how do i fix this its stupid

[TheFabytm]

@lucacas123456 is it ok on other cods?

[SporadicFear]

im having trouble finding games with a party of 2 or more people. i can always find games by myself but its when im with a couple of friends when i get into some problems, and yes i know its my connection because when i back out of the lobby, they automatically find a game. can you help?

[TheFabytm]

@SporadicFear pretty weird.I don't really know what to tell you, but I'll think about it and will tell you if I find out something that could help you!

[ampx102]

im in ireland my nat type is open i cant get into any game unless i join it from recent players or friends my friends dont have did prob and they live in the same town i know dem i see dem almost every day i dont know whats wrong plz help p.s my nat type is open

[boxybox100]

DEAR EVERYONE HAVING MATCHMAKING ISSUES. ITS YOUR CONNECTION. I USED TO HAVE SERIOUS PROBLEMS WITH MATCHMAKING BUT TODAY I GOT 8mbps down 1mbps up THEN I COULD FIND MATCHES IN UNDER 10 SECONDS ON MW2, MW3

IF YOU GET FASTER INTERNET AND STILL CANT FIND MATCHES, ITS YOUR PING, THERE IS NOTHING TO DO ABOUT GETTING A LOWER PING, THE ONLY THING YOU CAN DO IS CHANGE ISP

**REMEMBER THAT ITS YOUR INTERNET SPEED THAT IS THE PROBLEM)

[TheFabytm]

@boxybox100 not always, they had matchmaking issues in the first month of the lifecycle!

[rayman1995]

@boxybox100

i have great connection to every online game and downloading services

my ping has never been higher than 100 except in games where everyone but the host was bad

isp is great, nobody has trouble with it as far as i know...

what?

[Maaxjahz]

i still cant find shit

[uHBuZi]

[TheFabytm]

[rayman1995]

[TheFabytm]

[Recon1238]

[boxybox100]

[IBeatzz94]

@TheFabytm yea i think it's fixed cuz the whole they today it searched every match

[TheFabytm]

@IBeatzz94 dude, fix your english!:))

[ThreeGuysOneBucket]

@TheFabytm HOW THE FUCK DID YOU FIX IT?!

!?!?!?!?

[ThreeGuysOneBucket]

@TheFabytm HOW DO U FIX IT!?!

!

[TheFabytm]

@ThreeGuysOneBucket I didn't, they fixed it!Now, it just searches for matches like in MW2.BTW, caps are not needed!

[ThreeGuysOneBucket]

@TheFabytm Sorry I just mainly bought the game for MP, and they didnt fix ti for me, but recently it ddi start to work :)

[TheFabytm]

Guys, you know what I find stupid?That they've got it right with the matchmaking in MW2(well, pretty much right) and they tried to fix a working think with MW3.I mean, I can find a objective barebones pro lobby(only 20!!! player in that playlist) very fast and have good connection and I can't find a TDM lobby in MW3 and 250-300k people are playing in that playlist.

WTF is wrong with you, IW?

[GuyBlue78]

i wanna get in on team tactical but can't find any match D:

[tommma1996]

Its Not fixed for me!

[TheFabytm]

@tommma1996 yea, I know:(

[PoisonFogzzzz]

I have the same problem and I can't connect to ANY match!! I live in Egypt and it is sucking here.... Any help on how to solve this?

[tommma1996]

@PoisonFogzzzz Ana kaman 3ayesh f masr w 3ndy nafs el moshkela

What should i do to fix it !!!

[PoisonFogzzzz]

@tommma1996 I don't know :( But I was always try to join small playlists like Mercenary and Moshpit. This way you force the game to search globally because you are in a small playlist. Or just try joining recent players or joining friends from Europe, America etc...

[TheFabytm]

@PoisonFogzzzz yep, those are pretty much the only options to join a match:(

[TheFabytm]

@tommma1996 nothing, you can't help it!

[TheFabytm]

@PoisonFogzzzz nope, just try mercenary, mosh pit and barebones!Those seem to work!

[LazyB3ast]

Mercenary and mosh pit works for me any other game mode doesnt work at all :(

[masterchief5180]

how do you change your settings from local to global

[TheFabytm]

@masterchief5180 you don't actually have that option!

[emilyevan8]

mine got fixed 3 days ago, with the xbox live home patch

[TheFabytm]

@emilyevan8 nice to hear that!It seems fixed for me as well!I can now usually find games pretty quick!

[AlbaniansPwnage]

@TheFabytm SO U CAN PLAY ONLINE NOW?

[HGCLUJSO]

Yes, I found someone with the same problem.

I live in Colombia

[TheFabytm]

@HGCLUJSO Seems fixed for me(even though not for all game modes, I can easily join TDM, Kill confirmed, mercenary, ground war and others.I'm still not able to find FFA matches:( )

[HGCLUJSO]

@TheFabytm Yes, now I can play S&D with other people.

[ReZLyRics]

Same in Belgium, sucking -.-

[AlbaniansPwnage]

is it patched now?

[TheFabytm]

@AlbaniansPwnage Don't think so.Matchmaking doesn't seem to be patched!

[xXcambyXx]

just hoped off cod, this is now fixed. same for any one else?

[theprodigy4592]

@xXcambyXx not for me.. have u tryed every gametype ? 

[xXcambyXx]

@theprodigy4592 iv tried most of them; kill confirmed, tdm, dom , hq, snd, ground war

[TheFabytm]

@xXcambyXx try mercenary, mosh pit and barebones!Those usually work!

[TheFabytm]

@xXcambyXx nice to hear that, haven't played call of duty today but I hope it'll work tomorrow, when I'll play!

[TheFabytm]

@xXcambyXx I played some cod mw3 and yea, I guess the situation is better, but it's not fixed yet...

[ptmgroups]

Same for me here in Costa rica.. I can't find a game at all

[TrueGamerLGT]

@ptmgroups same here in brazil...

[VampireHunter82]

hi I live in italy and have the same problem with the matchmaking of modern warfare 3 please watch my video on my channel and send it to robert bowling on twitter thanx

[TheFabytm]

@VampireHunter82 I've sent mine to robert 100 times now...nothing different...

[RickardPlay]

for me it find games but then it sey (sample) "Trying to Join 1/3, 2/3, 3/3 then it start ower whit serch for server then "Trying to join" agin and agin and agin.

whos STUPID IDE was this "Matchmaking" !?!

[TheFabytm]

@RickardPlay There's nothing we can do about it.Maybe just spam Robert to see how many of us are actually having this problem!

[TheHauntedPotato]

Oddly enough, This happens to me on MW2 and MW3 only. But not Black Ops...

[TheFabytm]

@TheHauntedPotato Seems weird...

[RagingXela]

@TheHauntedPotato Same with me, Black Ops and COD 4 were problem free. MW2 and MW3 are a freaking pain in the ass when it comes to matchmaking.

[eddieward666]

same in poland - I can play only basic modes and only with local players.

[TheFabytm]

@eddieward666 You're lucky then, I can't find any game...

[ProGeneral99]

@TheEpicAztec west coast nigga

[SkittlesPS3HD1]

Same as mine, but mine says 0/50 games and the percentage thingo doesn't even get to 100.... then BAM! Freeze for about 30 secs..... happens every time.. ITS PISSING ME OFF !! :(

[TheFabytm]

@TheEpicAztec Shouldn't happen in the US...

[ProGeneral99]

same shit happens to me

except it says 0/50 games

[TheFabytm]

@ProGeneral99 :(

[ube2ube4me]

This looks like cod4 for me right now. have only found 2 tdm lobbies and 1 ffa in 2 hours. i can find thousands of lobbies with a friend in my party thoughh.

[TheFabytm]

@ube2ube4me That's just how it is in MW3 as well.If you are in a party, the region lock thingy isn't enabled anymore!

[mohammad0988]

Get bf3 ... Cod has a shit server .. On bf3 it takes 0.1 sec to get in a game because u can join world wide ,but on fucking mw u have local server which sucks old ass balls!

[TheFabytm]

@mohammad0988 I am going to buy BF3 probably tomorrow, but not because of the local only issue.I'll get it because I think it's fun!:)

[mohammad0988]

@TheFabytm Thats good... Call Of duty sucks balls their server are shit and the game is shit.. BF3 for the win .. they got better online man even with people who have nat issue can play ... its only cod that care about nat issue cause there annoying cunts especially infinity ward

[fightingemu1]

they dont give a shit theyve got your money now.wankers

[TheFabytm]

@fightingemu1 I know, but they could fix it, cause they fixed other problems...

[GaL1212121]

having the same trouble, i'm from Israel

that's fucking bullshit! iw must fix it.

[TheFabytm]

@GaL1212121 Yep, I know!

[xXcambyXx]

having the same trouble from australia

[TheFabytm]

@xXcambyXx I usually add as friends people that seem to have good ping in lobbies in which I have good ping as well(hope that makes sense!).That way, I can join their session and play in a good lobby!Good luck!

[xXcambyXx]

@TheFabytm yeah i have been doing that as well, but honestly is stupid that we have to go to that effort just to get into a game. but thanks for the response.

[killakella88]

In switzerland is the same bullshit:(

[TheFabytm]

@killakella88 This is affecting everyone living in countries with small amount of xbox players...:(

[rendy7000]

Si eu tot din romanica!!!um frAte am chatuit cu unu de la activusion suport pe net si a zis ca nu crede ca se va schimba :( si ca conteaza foarte mult cati din tara ta se joaca....zimi cum te cheama pe xbox live ca poate deja am jucat niste meciuri

[TheFabytm]

@rendy7000 mie imi merge mai bine acuma.Mai gasesc meciuri si din alte tari cand caut in ground war, tdm etc, dar tot nu e cum a fost in MW2.Gamertag-ul meu e thebigone777777.

[threefiftyzzz]

i live in fl and this has happened to me from day 1...it takes me forever to find games...i have great internet and my nat is open...i thought that this was everyones experience until i was watching a youtube commentator and everytime he searches for a match it takes 5 secs to find a lobby w/ 50 ping...I WANT THAT.!

[TheFabytm]

@threefiftyzzz I know, I am really jealous when I see that they find a lobby instantly and I have to wait a lot to find one...

[ShepherdFTW]

I live in the U.S and this happens to me... I dont understand...

[TheFabytm]

@ShepherdFTW Robert Bowling really needs to fix this.I love the game, but if I can't play it...

[TheFabytm]

Guys, if you're having this problem as well, please tweet the video to #fourzerotwo on twitter so he can see it!

[kasp050b]

Same proplem in denmark i'l hope they will fix it:(.

[TheFabytm]

@kasp050b It's frustrating, region lock probably only works in the USA and Uk...

[kasp050b]

@TheFabytm I should not have buy'd this game:(.

[LazyB3ast]

Am From Egypt and the same problem happens to me it so frustrating:(

[TheFabytm]

@LazyB3ast I know, I wish they would've just ported MW2's matchmaking system...

[Sorrythat111]

From Estonia and same problem. Alone it takes like 20 mins to get in to a game. In a party still 5 mins.

BO was better on that one.

[TheFabytm]

@Sorrythat111 If they disable that stupid region lock, we shouldn't have problems anymore!

[gatomany]

You must have a party a 2 at least to find a match or if u cant go and play some QS! :D

[TheFabytm]

@gatomany I was surprised to see that if I searched for a match in split-screen mode it would work perfectly and find a game instantly!It's the same with a party!

[AlbaniansPwnage]

id dat shit true???it depends where u live?i searched a lobby for 1 hour and still shit.FUCk XBOX.Ps3 is da king

[TheFabytm]

@AlbaniansPwnage PS3 fanboy?:)) seriously now, this is a developer problem, not a console problem. #consolewars

[MultiKarfiol]

I HAVE the same problem i Play on Xbox and I am From Slovakia :(

[TheFabytm]

@MultiKarfiol Let's just spam fourzerotwo's twitter feed(Robert Bowling), maybe he'll fix this...

[nutzy73]

I can play on German/Dutch/French servers in Belgium :D

[TheFabytm]

@nutzy73 Which platform are you playing on?If you're on the xbox, please give me your gamertag in order to join your session when I can't find any lobbies!

[nutzy73]

@TheFabytm PC FTW :D

[TheFabytm]

@nutzy73 I think pc isn't region lock cause not a lot of people play this game on a pc.If you join a server from the dedicated server list, that is obviously not region locked:)

[TheFabytm]

I think region lock is enabled in US and UK as well, but people don't notice it because there are always enough people in order to always find a lobby(actually thousands...)

[krystek2007]

U.S. and UK do not have this problem. Rest of the World has REGION LOCK. Where are forced to play only with their country.
