I've NEVER gotten a team death match. The only mode that seems to have any traffic is the free for all death match and that's just not fun to me. CQC ded game.
It's a cyclical problem that feeds itself. People go into TDM, can't get a game so they go into DM and get games, so they play deathmatch because they actually get to play. I think a possible solution would be a "random mode" where you get into a lobby and it spits your lobby into DM, TDM or CTF at random. It would allow the servers to flex the pools a little bit without draining any of the other lobbies. The matchmaking would be able to draw in any players looking for a lobby in one of the three set modes (so if you are in random mode with 6 other people, it can see that there are two people looking for a TDM and send you into that game type), that person(s) would just be swapped out at the end of that mode match and a new person pulled in for one of the other modes.

That's why we're putting a timed event in the diary so we can try and saturate it with a few more commanders at the same time..... Feel free to pass on the invitation to anyone else available from 20:30gmt Thursday. If it works, we might try and make a regular night out of it.
This sounds fantastic, I'll definitely be looking into this. I'm GMT-8, may be able to catch the tail end your lobbies. Perhaps we can get a EST-PST thing going "after hours" for us colonials. In any case this needs some publicity, one night a week where the community gets a little more focused on CQC regardless of time zone would be great!
