I was in matchmaking for 10 minutes, i only found 2 people and then it reset.
Is this happening to everyone else? Or is something wrong with my connection?

Matchmaking still broken??
It seems worse to me...
yeah....EPIC Y!!!!
You made a great single player game and tried to Halo-ize your multiplayer (besides horde) Y would you cop out like that...
...I'm disappointed in you soldiers, you make me want to play gears , just because of the matchmaking infrastructure while I like the gameplay better....Y!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Cliffy B Y!!!
I think the problem is just as much MS fault as EPIC. Normally companies use APIs to implement common system features, and I suspect that matchmaking is one of those. Halo 3 matchmaking seems too similar. To be honest i think MS should further develop how matchmaking is done. Games that are latency sensitive means that not matchmaking people on different continents is a no brainer. By offering an option to avoid matchmaking on criteria like this can't possibly be that hard since i think atleast the American and the European continent has gotten "critical mass". Finding people playing the same game shouldn't be that hard.
For me the patch fixed my problem finding teamates, but it still takes far too long to find an opposing team.
Well, I haven't had any problems finding teams since the patch. That's why I said it's probably a problem with your connection.
"I would think that's a connection thing. It was never really "broken," people just disliked it."Never broken? Surely not a connection issue, because I had matchmaking problems prior to this (before my 360 was RROD, as well). It would take sometimes 5 minutes to get a match, depending on what I wanted to play. Ridiculous, I don't think I was the only one who wanted to play Horde in Public matches.
Keyword: was, I have not tried matchmaking after the patch. Wouldn't be surprised if its still bad.
Tried it the day of and after the patch, and it was working fine.
Tried it today and yesterday and iam back to waiting for ever. The amount of time iam waiting is equivalent to the time the matches take.
Hopefully they fix it, and this tie they dont just throw a bandage on the problem and hope it goes away.
"yeah....EPIC Y!!!!You do know that Halo 3 has far less lag, quicker match finder, weapon hit/damage inconstancy, cheaters, advantage glitches, and overall problems than Gears 2 does right?
