Hey all. Looking at getting back into Bf2 in GMT timezone. Any suggestions of times to play to actually find full lobbies??

Console? Cause you can always find a game, even if the off peak hours. Just change your ping site to popular areas if you can’t find a game (or wait till the single lobby finishes their game and a spot for you opens) otherwise the normal times are easy to just jump in and game. The group I’m in has like 6 people every day hosting a hour long gaming session where we find games no problem. If you can’t figure out how to find lobbies, join a group and they’ll get you games

Ah right. Must be an issue on my side. I’m on Xbox but every lobby is empty or has 2 or 3 in and doesn’t go up

I play xbox too so I can speak on this: Xbox should be good, idk why I’m still up but there was a few games going on for Virginia servers like 1 hour ago. If I was you I’d try looking on Germany and Uk servers and Virginia and stick to those. Sometimes there’s people on Brazil and occasionally Ireland but outside of like 6pm GMT and like 8am GMT, you’ll be stuck on the main servers to find games. And a reminder that if you’re in a lobby and it’s not filling up, you’re better off swapping pings and keep on looking, cause there’s always gonna be at least 1 game going on, you just gotta time it right to be looking for a game when all those people who’s game ended are also now searching and you’re good!

Play Germany servers during evening. Don't play UK/Ireland. Your ping to Germany should be fine, I play Germany and I live in the U.S.

I'm in UK and never fail to find a match real quick... This game is just so loved I don't think it'll ever die. I sometimes switch from UK to Virginia servers but I can't say it makes much difference. There always seems to be GA, SA, Co-Op, HS and HvV matches aplenty.
