I cant find a match either, we are both either shadow banned or they turned off pc servers. Only way I can play is if I have my xbox friend join a match then i join him. Game is a scam, activision is trash.

I find matches on nuketown almost instantly.
What timezone are you from and when are you searching?

I find matches quickly, even in hardcore, even after midnight. I'm on Battle net though.

Its because you have been shadowbanned for no reason. They dont tell you that you have been, unless you go to https://support.activision.com/ban-appeal
Then submit a appeal ticket and click agree at the warning message and ONLY here will it tell you: if your account is ok, banned, or "under review" meaning shadow banned.

I live in the San Francisco Bay Area in California, USA. As I said before its due to being "shadow-banned". Only way to know, is to go to the appeal a ban web page https://support.activision.com/ban-appeal See if your account is "under review". If it is, you have been shadow-banned. You will not be able to join any game online. It will keep trying forever. Even the connection settings page will show all servers are online, but it will not let you find any games online.
This happened to me, and that web page said I was under review. Could not find any game online, multiplayer, zombies, nothing. After about a week of this, all of the sudden I can join any game, no issue at all.
I will say this, do not use the Steam in game browser while in the game. I think that's what got me, because that's the only thing I did before I was shadow-banned.

make sure your nat type is OPEN, even open it will take time to find people

How many are active players on pc? Worth buying for multiplayer on pc?

Not worth buying for multiplayer, its full of cheaters.
Campaign and zombies are worth it tough.

Cant see any cheaters to be fair. There are skilled players but personally haven't encouraged many

All old cod and bf games are full of cheaters and i have seen plenty.
Some are not as obvious as others and indeed hard to distinguish from "good" players but there are plenty of cheaters around.

Maybe i was unlucky that day then yea.
Only got games with cheaters lately, before that i have to admit had some "normal" games.
But even if i get a cheater 50% of the time it doesnt invite me to play more.
