Is the SC5 online dead?

Hey 8WR. I bought SCV about a week ago and I'm having a blast. I own all SC games so I've been playing SC for a long time.

Anyways I'm here because I wanna see if I'm not the only one with this issue.

When I go to Xbox live, and go to play Ranked Match I just seem to find no one. Sometimes I'll find the occasional player but so far. I've only gotten in 12 matches. I seem to only find lobbies when the search is set on other. I really like the fighting in this game but it sucks that I can only find lobbies when set in the "other" option.

Also, Global Coloseo is empty. There is only people in New York and sometimes when NY is full Los Angeles. Is all of this normal?
 
The only people who play in Ranked at this point are trolls. Get your Ezio and D1 cheevos, then the mode is beyond pointless. That is, assuming the trolls don't all quit on you when they inevitably lose -.-

GC...Well, it's always been like that. On XBL, the New York lobby has consistently been at or near capacity every time I've checked it since release in February with the only other one being decently active(by that I mean 5-20% capacity tops) being LA.

Player match is always hit or miss. It's probably better to add folks that seem to have a good attitude and hope for invites/host your own room. You can't make someone not be a total douchetard when they kick everyone that beats them, unfortunately.
 
Yes. Ranked match loses its purpose after a while and a lot of players see it as a joke (Rank and percentage don't reflect on player skill at all). Everyone uses NY because we are all too lazy to go into the other lobbies and same goes with Player Match (No specific details; I just jump in).
 
Oh man this sucks... I was thinking about getting this game on PS3 also. I am primarily a PS3 player so I'm more experienced with a PS3 controller than a Xbox one. Plus it's better. Anyways is the PS3 version of SC like this too?

Guess I'll stick to the Global Coloseo then... May I add you both so we can play sometime?
 
Damn that bad. The online is pretty solid in this game. But wow that big of a difference in PS3? That sucks...
 
for the record i'm still finding plenty of people on ranked who can play seriously and don't just quit when i'm about to win.

Lower population on PSN and assier connection.
 
Ranked is tha shit.
When you're bored.

But I find it hella addictive 'till you get your maximum rank. Try to beat your own Streak 'till you get to A1!
 
I still got the record of the most wins in a row. Partisan came close with 117 till I shut that punk ass down. 119 is where its at son. Anyway, SCV online is a joke now filled with Massarces, Spuriouses, Reptiles, and Lord Slades. Good luck trying to have fun.
 
Fun fact, 1364 different players have had a match in the current GC tournament (01/09/12 to 07/09/12) on PS3.

Ranked match weekly has 2746 different players on PS3.

There's probably more on Xbox.
