Probably because most people are playing the Single Player campaign, or are hosting private matches and co-op.

ping doesnt really mean much,,,it could be your nat which can get in the way of match making, your internet is a bit slow but adequate so I would think its simpley most people are still in singleplayer

Might be where you live. I'm in the US and it literally takes less than 5 seconds to get into a match.

i don't get why it takes 10 mins find a match... k2theswiss
Never taken me longer than like 45seconds. Thought that 10min thing was a Gears 2 problem.

i have the same issue sometimes and i live in the USA. the matchmaking system is better than Gears 2, but still not even close to perfect. then again, i have tried everything and still cannot get my NAT type to anything but Moderate... so yeah.

reading all these posts in detail its obviously a NAT problem, look on the net for a guide to opening your nat OR stick you xbox in your routers DMZ and bypass router security all together,,,works for me

worst idea possible considering that allows anyone that is half smart to use your xbox as a tunnel into your network- especially if you have it set up to communicate with a media center. you are basically giving the world an unsecured point of entry....
