While waiting......

So when you're waiting for what seems like hours to find a match, what do you do? or what have you ever done that expresses how long you have to wait?
Me personally I take the opportunity to watch TV, grab a snack, or use the bathroom. The most impressive thing I've done was actually have lunch while waiting to find a match. The saddest part was when I was done... I still ended up waiting longer.
I'm interested to see what some of you here do while waiting because I highly doubt everyone diligently waits to find matches.
I pretty much do the same thing. That or just converse with my friends in the lobby while we wait an eternity to find a single match.
usually i pee for about 1 minute then it finds me a match.
so then you guys really have a hard time to find a match i almost always find one instantly but sometimes it takes a min. why is that i wonder
Come in the other room and check the forums or Skype. Take a leak. Find something to eat. Take a short nap. Race a Time Trial on Mario Kart. Take another nap. Then come back after all of that and I am still waiting in the lobby.
Smoke me a tasty Marlboro.
I don't usually wait to find matches? I can find matches pretty damn fast
same here
People and their internet. xD
but i dont even have a speedy internet its normal
when you are aloneis relatively fast but i imagine people are waiting in parties like i am ![]()
I eat, go to skype or just play with the cat ![]()
I still find matches fast when I'm hosting a party. :|
I watch The Lord of the Rings (the whole trilogy)
you should watch the whole harry potter series you wont have to wait as long after
Sleep 3 hours, go to the park, watch a movie, eat something?
I just wait it out. Every time I get up to do something I get thrown in the middle of the match and come back to find that i've already died a few times. Doesn't matter if I go to the bathroom, get a drink, go feed the dogs, go get the cat out of the attic cause I accidentally locked him up there, or whatever, the match will start while I'm gone. (the cat thing only happened once...)
Grab a snack or drink. Head to the bathroom. Check stuff online/email/get work done. Chat with lobby members. Listen to music
Usually start up in lobby with friends, eat dinner, smoke a good marlboro, then take a good
Sh!t, Shave and then a Shower. Drink a 1/2 quart of some Good 'Ol MoonShine. then I can wait in front of the TV in the lobby while drinking on the other 1/2 of the Quart.

I use the toilet, grab a beer, or make the wife a coffee. Its tough to make the mrs a coffee in the 1min intervals, so she gets them whenever im waiting with a party (usually takes 5mins to get a game, probably more). I also check the latest football scores, and even check the forum if its a long wait, or watch a youtube vid (laptops near TV)...
I play some Mario Kart or level up my Pokemon unless I'm listening to my iPod then I'll start singing along to the music.
Usually though I'll start messing around with my classes and when I see something that I'm missing or is redundant on that class (like seeing I have marksman on a shotty class or something equally useless) the game starts and curse the game for not bending to my every whim lol
Shotgun and Marksmen? You had to be with Robert Bowling when that happened.
I used to play with a guy in BO who NEVER used to get ANY kills, and one day I asked him why on earth he was so bad, he`d no idea, so a few days later he came to my house and played, and his class was a shotgun, and he was trying to snipe with it on Grid. He actually asked me why there was no scopes ![]()
WTF? That's hilarious and yet quite sad.
Yeah, same guy bought MW3, pre ordered it FFS, hes got 23hrs gameplay, and is level 19 ![]()
I...i... how is that possible? Also where cna i get his AC? I wants me an easy mode MOAB >:)
I just yell at the TV for 5 minutes... "Come On! Come On! Hurry Up!"... "I'm gonna leave in 5 - 4 - 3 - 2 - 1 - zzzeeerrrooo"... "I mean it this time, 5 - 4 - 3 - 2 - 1 - zzzeeerrrooo"... "OK, last time for real, 5 - 4 - 3 - 2 - 1 - zzzeeerrrooo"... "AWWW COME ON!!!"
I don't have any problems getting into a match. I would say I am in a match within 10-15 seconds. However, I often find myself in a match with only 1 minute left or where the leader is already at 29 kills in FFA.
usually i get into matches pretty quick, but at times its just wont find any because of the connection that some people in the house are taking up and giving me so much lag and afterwards its just keep searching for matches and afterwards i wait until the internet connection ease up a bit lol.
Do you play in groups of three or more?
I play in parties like 50% of the time and I still find matches fast. Sometimes whoever is hosting the party has to switch it over to me cause I find them fast.
The longest I had to wait when I was host was maybe......20-25 sec.
I usually find them in 5-10 seconds.
Then I hope you add me so I can get a party and lean on your godly connection to find us a match.
Idk why everyones complaining about taking forvever to find matches? Its pretty fast, just takes 10 seconds tops.
Ever tried finding a match with a party of 5?
If so does it take forever?
