Usually works fine for me. Of course I have a speedy connection and almost excusively play with friends, so both those problems are rarely an issue for me.
Sounds like the matching system for Gears of War 2 and Farcry 2. They were mildly annoying to connect, but it sure is fun to play!
Also @ZOMBUTLER; lol.

Yeah. It's not a problem when playing with friends. Thought I'd just give some general playing a go and was quickly discouraged. Next time with more tits.
Yeah, a lot of games have moved to shitty matchmaking. The original Gears of War had a server list so you could choose your options and the best connection. Fear 2 also does this. I fucking hate matchmaking and Gears 2 is a colossal piece of shit due in part to matchmaking.
i don't prefer to join random games at all. i don't like matchmaking because i got game and friends to play with so no.
and i like a level playing feild when i play and to me that means that i play whoever is in the room, not a room filled with people at my skill level. i believe if ya don't play against people who are better than you, you won't really get better quicker. if i want to get better at sf2hd i won't play lesser people but way better people. matchmaking is an excuse for lack of skill and prevents others from progressing if they use it.

In the amount of time waiting to find a match in Big Team Social on Halo, I could have played an entire match of Ground War in CoD4. IMO CoD is the only game that does matchmaking right, where no matter what I always find a match within seconds, not hours.
Instead of comparing it to PC online gaming, just compare it to the Wii's system, and you'll be happy.
I love when people act like playing on Live is so easy, and yet I find playing on the PC to be far more quick and manageable. I was playing L4D with some friends on 360 and waiting to find a game, and during this I loaded the PC version on Steam and found a quick game to play while I wait within seconds. The party system is a step in the right direction, but with so many connection errors and people getting kicked, the Xbox team has a long way to go before it's comparable to the superior online experience on the PC.
