Newsflash: not finding a completely full server on one game and then finding a full server on a different game does not mean the second game has an overall higher population. Literally all it takes is for a few people to leave the game (well, one person technically) and then suddenly, look at that! The sever isn’t full. But it’s a very big difference between ‘having one or two empty slots on each team’ and ‘teams being half empty’ which proves nothing.
To the guy who was complaining about server wait times - literally all you have to do is cancel the search after like 30 seconds, retry and you’ll get in. Chances are that its creating an empty server or putting you in one, but it doesn’t fully connect to start with so you have the option to cancel easier if you don’t want to wait. If you cancel the search and retry, there’s likely to be a free slot that’s opened up in a server and it will put you in that game. Or you can even go through the custom search and find a game which has a few players missing and join that one which takes very little time either.
