the game lobbies fill up right away every time? ive never had to wait 10 minutes for a game to start...hell i've never had to wait 3 minutes

I've seen it take a long time, and here's why.

1. Whole parties.  Sure, it's a lobby with 6 people, but 5 of them are in a party.  Because matchmaking seems to want to match party vs party, single matches come in really really slow.  It's a feature I'll gladly retain, because I hate getting dominated when I play solo, because randoms refuse to play smart or communicate.

2. Someone's got bad connection or network settings and people simply can't join lobbies. NAT problems and such can cause matchmaking itself to really blow.  Once in a while you get into that game that starts, but no one ever joins, some peopel quit, and you stick out a 2 v 6 match just because you don't like to quit(You actually saw that a LOT in halo and were punished for quitting, it's a habit to not even think about leaving).  Also, some routers just sincerely hate other routers, even if things say they're open, they just do not play well together, and matchmaking makes that evident.
