2v2 isn't too bad, but in 1v1 I wait 5+ minutes almost every game regardless of faction. Last time I played vcoh about a month ago I was usually getting games in 2 minutes (never more than 5min and a few times in just seconds) even after peak hour when most Europeans are offline. COH2 in mid to late afternoon takes 5+ minutes almost every time and theres no good reason for that at peak time in a game with triple the players.

COH2's main advantage over vcoh, more players, isn't even being taken advantage of.

If the search puts up againsts noobs or high players but is super fast. People cry.

If it takes a bit more time because it's finding a more equal opponent. People cry.

No winning here it seems.

Let's take away people who playing campaign, tow, custom match and watching replay,... the actual number should be around 2000 players.
According to coh2chart, we have at least 1500 players playing 2v2+ and only about 500 players playing 1v1.
Of those 500 players, the loyal and high ranking take at least 100 players, so in the end, only 400 players you can match with.

But nope, of 400 players, at least 300 players is already in game, so you have only 100 players searching at best.
And then again, you think you can connect with them all? Some in asia, while another in europe, so you only have 50 remaining potential players.

Considering you're from the US, couldnt it be that no-one in Europe plays at the same time? Because here in Europe, for me at least, its not that hard to find a match

All those factors are true, and probably at a near identical rate, for the COH1 population. Yet the system still works much better with a fraction of the playerbase.

Not even the strictly coh2 players like you

Community wanted matchmaking fix. Here it is and community not satisfied once again. With such small automatch playerbase you cannot have both; small waiting times and proper matchmaking.

vCoH has no 3v3 or 4v4 automatch.

I'd wager most of the numbers difference between vCoH and CoH2 are accounted for by those options alone.

The 3v3 and 4v4 option was the only reason I ever gave CoHO any time: something different.

The wait times can be long but the matchmaking is generally very accurate so I don't care. Just alt tab and when the coh2 icon stops flashing you've got a game.

I'd rather wait for 5-10 minutes to find equally ranked enemies than to play a game that is a faceroll comp-stomp that takes 5 minutes to win/lose

whats the point, if u have a small playerbase? I mean there are enough other games with only 500-3000 players and still there people who play it and have fun (as example RO2 DOW2 vCOH). There arent much players who play 1v1 and its fine!
I hate it to waste my time by playin against a newbie.
