Does anybody know why Call of Duty Black Ops for XBox 360 takes so long to find matches online?
Does anybody know why Call of Duty Black Ops for XBox 360 takes so long to find matches online? I have my router setup to forward the correct ports and even when I place the XBox 360's IP in my DMZ, it still takes F-O-R-E-V-E-R to find matches for games online. Any help?

From what I understand, there are a LOT of problems with CoD Black Ops online gameplay, and that the creators are still trying to fix the issue.
It's a bug affecting both xbox and PS3. Treyarch are working on a fix and have already issued several patches to improve gameplay.
Patches are being pushed almost weekly via Live. The last patch (#4) went out the week before Christmas and the next is being tested before being put on Live to load automatically when the game is launched.
Keep an eye out for "Call of Duty: Black Ops Title Update 5 (PS3/Xbox 360)" on the COD forums and the Treyarch site (http://www.treyarch.com/news).

You may also want to check your status of your XBOX Live account. I was unable to connect and play Black Ops for the past week on XBL. I contacted Microsoft in regards to my XBL account, they told me to wait 24 hours for their miraculous change, and last night, i spent a good 6 hours online playing.
Putting your X360 in the DMZ is fine if you have 1 360, depending on your router you should have uPnP enabled. Also note that not only with the new X360s but the dashboard update you may want to enable 1863 TCP/UDP. It is for Kinects Chat, but its optional.
