It takes me about 10-15 attempts at QuickMatch (most of which end in 20 seconds, but some of which get into the game and then proceed to timeout) to actually play a game. It's tolerable, but I'll admit it sucks, especially considering that similar RTS games like Starcraft pretty much Always Worked and even Red Alert 2 was not as bad for QuickMatch. I don't think anything's going to change, at least not with Generals/ZH. I hope that EA does better on their next RTS (which looks like Battle for Middle Earth, based on the Gen/ZH engine). -- - Tim G.
