    just insalled the patch and i was looking forward to quicker matchmaking but i have not noticed a thing since i updated and sadly if anything the matchmaking seems longer rather than shorter but maybe in a day or 2 it will all be fine.

    "Due to the large number of concurrent matches, our stats gathering servers were not able to collect data for every single match played"

    Wait, with all the money sloshing around over at Epic I find this hard to forgive.  I wonder if insufficient server capacity had to do with the slow matchmaking as well but they did not disclose that?  Based on the outages and the fact that Gears 2 matchmaking was slowly improving for me even before the patch was out seems like they really cheaped out on Xbox Live servers.  Why do we pay $50 a year for Xbox Live and have all of these problems?

    So are they going to fix the crappy hit detection?  I don't care how long it takes to get into a game if my shots are just going to go right through people...

    It's been 3 days and I'm not feeling any note-worthy difference.  Come on Epic!  We all know you have the money to take care of whatever your problem is.

    YAY

    Games broken.

    My guess is the matchmaking is just to fucking picky for the amount of users on. Halo's seems to get around this issue by having a million players on at all times.

    I've noticed that the waiting time for getting into a match has been significantly  reduced, at least for just people going solo. It went from 20 minutes or more to just 1 or 2 minutes. Although sometimes it takes a while to find an opposing team and I found the teams are often uneven.

    Matchmaking is still broken. I play a couple rounds, then am hit with a brick wall of lag that ruins the fun. A great game, but the multiplayer needs help.
