Umm. Anyone notice when u go into the assault game mode you don't get matched up with anyone. you just get put into your own lobby. It's not my connection because when I try Team Instant Action, it puts me in a game instantly, but assault takes forever. I been trying and waiting for 1hr to get into a game and i haven't been matched yet. I backed out and rejoined several times. I left my ps3 on in the lobby for 1 hour and a game still didn't start

I think that would have to do with the fact that nobody plays assault. I've had the same problem. It isn't a connect based problem. It's lack of interest.

i don't think most of the people haven't unlocked assault yet, including me..

it is kinda ridiculous that the game modes are locked.. maybe they didnt want new recruits to play these games modes, but all modes should have been unlocked by level 15.. assault unlocks at level 18 and extraction even later..
