Perhaps - though the fact that when we first matchmake we are paired up in under 30 seconds (load times excluded) leads me to believe there is no shortage of warm bodies haha. Feels more like someone else here mentioned - that the system is doing something like: - new player enters que - are there other people looking to run a strike? - if YES, pair them up and go - if NO, are there any teams missing members in progress? - if YES, ship them a new friend - if NO, (that sucks lol) return to top and start over Totally guesswork on this end mind you....but that's how it feels at any rate lol.
