That's odd considering campaign, along with attrition and hard point, is a go-to playlist when wait times increase for the others. What time was he playing? Regardless, it's the matchmaking infrastructure. Manually switching servers to more populated ones remedies this more often than not. Only time a US server should struggle is 3am-7am. This is how it is on 360, and I find it hard to believe 360 is the bigger community.

?? You find it hard to believe? That's not hard to believe considering the 80 million install base.
Titanfall has leapt back to the top of the UK games chart following the launch of the Xbox 360 version last week. The well-received last-gen version accounted for 71 percent of sales for the game, with 27 percent going to Xbox One and a single percent of sales on PC.

All in all, Titanfall's sales jumped 220 percent from the previous week.

Microsoft's other new exclusive, Kinect Sports: Rivals for Xbox One, wasn't as fortunate: it entered the chart at 14.

LEGO The Hobbit entered the charts in second, followed by the ever-dependable FIFA 14 in fourth.

Call of Duty: Ghosts, Minecraft: Xbox 360 Edition, The Lego Movie Videogame, Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare, Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag, and Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes rounded out the rest of the top ten.

Where's Bethesda's big-budget MMO The Elder Scrolls Online, which entered the charts at number two last week, on that list? This week it has dropped to 19, though many of the gam

The other issue is even if you go to campaign mode, doesn't it take longer depending on the mission you choose?

Yea considering it got zero marketing, no bundles, no sales, watered down performance, and doesn't receive updates til at least a month after xbox one and PC.

VGChartz agrees :mjpls:

Why would it need bundles?? Everybody and their mama got a 360. What do you mean "no sales"? Vgchartz is unreliable also, their numbers are rough guesses and estimates. They shouldn't be looked at as fact. They edit their numbers once NPD releases numbers. Anyway this is going off topic but the premise of the OP is that matchmaking can be a pain especially in campaign mode where you have several different missions and having to play that to get Titans is no fun.(campaign was boring as hell imo.)
