Server Browsers vs Matchmaking in 2025 | Speed Test

#communityserver #matchmaking #comparison I always wondered why matchmaking took so long to load and decided to do a comparison to see if it was just me. All footage was recorded in 2025 except COD: MW3 which was recorded in Aug 2024. Some might call it unfair because it doesn't always take this long to load and because modern games are vastly more complicated b we are comparing modern games to games made 20+ years ago with unofficial mods required to play.
