CQC The CQC Matchmaking Discussion Thread

Well where do I start? I guess waiting and waiting and waiting for the matches to start! I had not tried to play for months. Only yesterday to give it another go but could I get a match to play in? NO! That sums up CQC for me.

I just want to add the match making is terrible.
Played free for all death match and had a lvl 37 and a lvl 32 in with 3s and 2s
There was no doubt as to them just wrecking every one, not fun at all

Yeah. The problem is there's not enough players on at once to get the matchmaker to work, so if you're a beginner your choices are:
- no match
- match with a stronger player

When they had the free weekend, the matchmaker actually had enough players at once to be able to have separate beginner and stronger player games, which was great.

Can I suggest you just stick with it. It is very frustrating at first but after a little while something clicks and you start to get some successes. In this game though, you are always going to die a fair bit. I do at least.

Choices aren't any better if you're a vet. Even when I find a game, I usually drop out after the first round because things are too one-sided. I've had exactly one half of a match involving a top-shelf player since 2.1 dropped. :(

CQC needs to be fleshed out with more exciting maps, maybe new play modes, surface maps, chat, and perhaps F2P.

Edit:
Oh and let people play CQC during major server and client updates. :)

Just a thought how to make cqc times smaller: make a quick play or preferance settings where you could queue up for every mode, also free to play weekends could help out

I found the later I play CQC the easier it is to get a match. This would be due to the European players who are playing (and organized see thread here https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php/263556-Roster-for-Team-Deathmatch-Capture-the-Flag). That being said I am mostly only getting matches after 11 pm my time (pacific). Maybe if all the North American players went to the following thread and added their names we could get something going by organizing times to play etc...

As there is many time a difficulty to find matches, I suggest that they will implement NPC into CQC. Under normal circumstances I would be 100% against this, but better a match against an NPC then no match at all.

Possibly an easier way than NPCs: reduce DM to 2 minimum, and if you are the only person there start the game anyway in "exploration mode" until someone else shows up.

TDM similarly until there are enough people for a regular match just stick everyone on the same team and they can fly around, use the wing chat as a workaround for the lack of lobby chat, admire the scenery, practice their target-off aiming, etc.
