Has anyone EVER got this to work??

For me it just counts down 2 sets of #’s starting at like 60,000, eventually it pauses and I get some kind of rotating circle thing, then it either rotates for eternity or it resumes counting to zero…at which point it may or may not say no games available

I must say that this is hardly “quick”, furthermore it doesn’t even work?!

MP is a disgrace, and seems to be on the backburner as far as patches go,

I imagine a great deal of players are like me at this point and are kind of bored with the campaign and would enjoy a real challenge online. Without the laborious and time consuming task of getting into an actual working game

In the words of Catain Bigamton " I could just scream!!"

PS in mp games if the host quits because all his units have routed everyone gets kicked out??!!!

Yes. Quick battle will take 2 people who clicked that button at around the same time and send them on a random map with a random factions default army. It needs at least 2 people clicking it at the same moment.

I don't think MP is a disgrace, to be honest having played RTW and M2TW MP it seems the same basic the same model.. someone hosts someone joins, they fight, someone wins.

I would think so, hasn't it always been that way?

Honestly if your the host and its a 2v2 or 4v4 you have a responsibility to sit there and watch even if your army is no more.

Yes and it does work every time. But I have always ended up playing Seige games this way.
Steam picks the game that you will play.

This is called 'Honourable' play.
Unfortunately you do get a few people that don't like losing hence the Quit.
