Is crossplay even working?
There is no way this game is completely dead on console. It doesn't seem to put me in with console players at all in the 2 lobbies i played. Now I can't find a match at all.

Yes. You might need to set NAT to open if you can't find players. I can find matches within a minute.

From net :-

"Can Battle.net and Steam crossplay?
Cross-play is enabled on Steam and Battle.net by default and there is no way to turn it off. PC players are forced to play with console players. However, console players are put into PC lobbies only if the console players are teamed up with PC players.27 Nov 2022"

Chances are many might be playing single player for now so early release time on Steam.
And also your NAT needs to be open as stated above.

Go into your router port forwarding settings and add the following:
TCP: 3074,27014-27050
UDP: 3074-3079

Additionally, make sure Windows Defender isn't blocking the connecting by:
Control Panel > System and Security > Windows Defender Firewall > Allow an app or feature through Windows Defender Firewall

From there click "Change settings" and find Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War in the list. Then check the boxes for both private and public, as well as the box to the left of the game. Then click OK to save the changes.

If Cold War is on the list twice just do the same for both instances and save.

Yeah i looked it up and I have to port forward. I shouldn't even have to do that i just wanna play the video game. I also cant cause my ISP doesnt allow me to log into my router.

Try the firewall method but you can also port-forward without Router access (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BTd4o3wjlsI) it's just a little more convoluted. Try just opening UDP port 3074 and it will likely open your NAT. I've been able to get a few games after nothing, but it's still inconsistent.

EDIT: I've noticed, if you're stuck in queue for a while. Close and reopen the game then queue again and it's put me into games fast.

I believe I used 3074-3079 and now my NAT is open.
