I don't even know how many time I found a match where it was me against six others. I would leave and look for another match and keep getting thrown into that same match.
When it worked, it was fun though.
I love sniping in that game.
Just wish there were more people playing this game. #callofjuarezboundinblood

Run a custom match search and then pick the game you want to end up in.
Also, ranked matches have this really neat mechanic that I wish more games would use. It goes like this:
- Host sets up game parameters and starts game.
- Players join at any point, and join any team
- The game is running the the whole time from when the host starts it. Player just run around fighting and playing while waiting for the ranked portion to start.
- When there are enough players, the ranked match starts and teams are autobalanced.
It worked very well for me. No boredom of sitting in lobbies, you get in and just start playing. And then when the match has enough players to make a fun even match, it resets the spawns and starts the game.
Good stuff, and I'd love to see the mechanic show up in other MP games. #callofjuarezboundinblood

Perfect timing actually. I was about halfway through earning my million dollars of multiplayer bounty when it dropped.
It makes a HUGE difference to the classes in multiplayer.
A couple of the overpowered ones got taken down a notch (Veteran lost secondary guns), and the Spy is at least vaguely usable now.
Hombre is still maybe a little too powerful, but overall the multi got a lot better after the patch. #callofjuarezboundinblood

Wouldn't it make sense to launch the patch say, IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT? Now pay up Blizzard, since I just did your job for you.

Still they better buckle up, there's a storm a brewing (in a galaxy far far away, where giant mutant chickens are the norm)
Edit for the "get off my lawn" types : Lower exp caps, lower lvl for mount means it's easier for casual, and easier to level up to 80. meaning people get to 80 before their bored (and have bought two expansions) and more casuals equals more money.
Remember folks, when Warcraft III n WoW was originally made it was Blizzard, now its ActiBlizzard, and that prefix is a whole world of change.
