Because everyone wants to be the Predator so the queues are clogged. It’s a standard occurrence for asymmetrical multiplayer games.
bs. fireteams matching im pretty sure is fine …
EVERONE AND THEIR DOG… wants to play predator!
Its a predator game, people want to play that… thats why the wait times are long!
1000 people want predator… guess what, you need 4000 people wanting to play FireTeam… but there are not 4000people want to play fireteam because those 4000 also want to play as predator… that means you need 20,000 fireteam players! lol…
See the more that play pred, the worse it gets.
Not saying dont play it. saying be prepared to wait.5,10, 20 mins… if you dont want to wait more than a min or 2, play fireteam.
If you want to play pred fast, go private game with friends and rotate it evenly between those that want to play pred.
There is no server fix or anything game devs can do to fix that. its not a bug or anything broken its just simple maths!

I mean, yeah, cause everyone wants to be the villain/killer. It’s unfortunately a big issue with asymmetrical multiplayer games. I always play no preference and the wait is usually 30-45 seconds. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Matchmaking could still use a good tweeking though.
RE: REsistance went through the same issue but, was resolved in mere days to a week after it’s release!
Illfonic has Sony backing them up so…Please Step it up Fellas!!!
i aint playing fireteam. holy fuck. ive had enough of that. i got to level 74 playing that. know what im saying? well unfortunately not having epic long. believe it or not. no ones on my friends list on it. so thats out of the window … lol
Just add people who play well as fireteam. after you have added like 20-30 people then you will find enough to make a private game.
You can also ask on these forums and facebook groups for friends who like to play fireteam to add you.
suppose didnt think about it tbh
yeah make a post in General Discussion “Pred Main wanting fireteam for games” or something and inlcude your skill level and times of day/timezone you play etc
yeah i did no replies yet but you know.
I will say I think the game should do a better job of throwing you a bone every once in awhile if you select “no preference.” Cause right now “no preference” means fireteam lol. I have in over 100 games selecting “no preference” been selected as the Pred maybe 3 times?
Like maybe if you’ve played more than 5 or 6 games as the fireteam, you can jump the que a bit? I do understand the problem this creates is the wait for Pred only que would probably be even longer…
Idk…I really like that you can choose how you want to play, I know some people only like playing Friday the 13th as Jason, but it might work better if we all just get placed randomly.
yep i think i had 1 or 2 games as predator from doing no preference and im not doing no preference. im level 74 from ft il pass lol
yeah no pref basically means fireteam, except if there are no people picking pred. and that never happens so…
U just have to wait. i have to wait… so do all the preds. i just youtube and post here between matches etc.
once the pred novelty wears off and some come to prefer fireteam it should balance out a little better.
im in the UK i find when the USA comes online i get matches much faster. but thats like 2,3am onwards. find it harder to get pred about now UK time.
Agree absolutly
The wait times are terrible as predator and half the time it’s bugging out.
It needs more tweaking
yeah not kidding i love or like the game but man. needs some fine tuning thats for sure
i don’t play the pred but i feel bad for those who have to wait 10+ minutes, only to have the match end in under 3.
I wonder what the logic is. If you say “no preference” do you get put in a lobby with four others and it randomly chooses? Or does it just use the global queue where you basically are FT because of the Predator queue always being long?
I feel the former is how it should happen, and give you a “weighting” based on how many times you’ve been FT to increase your probability of being Predator.
sure as hell aint random. in all my games i got it once or twice as no preference. bugged maybe? idk … yeah would be nice because every game i was more or less ft lol
