It's slow if you're not geographically close (aka relatively high ping) to that many players, I suspect. It also takes a long time for me, though the one time there was actually a group of people from my region playing matchmaking took only a few seconds.
Couldn't get in last night. Wouldn't find any other players. The PSN itself was dodgy though, with trouble logging in and trouble loading up friends.
Matchmaking takes no more than 2-3 minutes for me.
But I just found out that there are times when you wont be getting matches at all [happened with me once] I just restarted the game & did a reset to my modem...it was all fine after that.

Well I got on earlier. ~7500 players online. There were no Optimal or Close games to join, and I had to wait a couple of minutes to find distant players. The end result was I got on, but the lag, I presume, did mess things up. What I saw was very smooth and coherent, but the gameplay felt awkward at times. I could riddle a guy with bullets and get no kill before they pop me in 2 shots or so. Okay, the old headshot kill comes into play, although I'd say the game was poorly balanced if the headshot is worth 30 body hits. However I wasn't getting headshots even though on screen I was clearly hitting them. Even with a sniper rifle squarely aimed, I could miss.
I think ND should make it clear that the game experience of laggy games is inaccurate in some way. Otherwise it will get frustrating for players not understanding why they can't kill another player emptying a clip into them.

I find it weird that the game lets you play 2-player custom coop games, yet still chooses to quit when a third guy leaves while playing 3-player coop games. 
Besides that, and a small voice chat bug we have been having awesome games last couple of nights.
Party support is not as good as R2 though.

I looked in the bbcode thread, I didn't see any examples for embedding gameinformer objects. I'm guessing you can't do that.

Matchmaking is definitely ropey. I had an occassion where there were 0 players online. Played solo larning a map. Had another look and there were 13,000. Started a game and found close players. The next game needed any players. The next game couldn't find anyone.
I also don't understand the structure of games. It seems to be a one shot deal. You join a game, and then the group disbands and you have to join another from scratch. Wouldn't it be better to have ongoing games like WH or KZ2 where you can quickly start up a new round without having to wait ages for a lucky chance to join?

Given the comments so far, I think something may be changing at the backend.
You can continue with the current (left over) party. Don't press O when the game ends. I did that once just to test it out.
I didn't. I just wait there and names gradually disappear. There's no counter for a next round to start. I tried X and ended up joining a party with two other people which then didn't do anything and they gradual left the party.
Oh... I think you need to press X to start looking for a match.
I can move the highlight to the Green or Red pane and to names in the list. I think the names give me the otpion to mute, and if I click on a pane I end up in a party or something. It's certainly not obvious to me how to progress onto the next round!
I agree it's not obvious. It's the same for forming a new party. You need to press X to start looking for a match. I didn't pay attention for the first few times, and kept pressing X until I see the counter screen.
There was one time I left half way and came back to expect a new match in-progress. But it just sat there on the same screen until I pressed X. ^_^

Where do you press X? When highlighting one of the teams?
I think it will highlight your team by default. Just press X when the game ends. I verified it a minute ago but unfortunately, everyone left. Then press X again since "Find Match" will be highlighted automatically in the next screen.
This may apply only if you're the party leader.
Anyway, I wanted to say....
What an EPIC fight !!! @_@
I ended up 20K-19D in a 1 vs 4 pistol shoot out. Lost the game but I am glad I didn't quit when all 4 team mates bailed after the first 6-7 minutes. I had 9 kills when they left. Survived about 8 minutes in the Plaza with me ambushing people and grenading their asses alone.
It was really really satisfying when I held my ground in the spawn room while they tried to storm it one, two men at a time. Eventually died because they lobed 2 grenades into the room as I charged out to eliminate the last guy.
Several moments of double deaths and suicide bombs too. So sweet ! ^_^

It was a rush to see my screen turned black-n-white in succession until I cleared the area[/size]
