Always wondered why there are no rooms on?Its cause the game is a port from a console the console(xbox 360) has a region lock for different countries to be allowed to play aka to evade the lags.

Kinda like aus-aus,europe-europe,us-us.

Unless they were telling you their nationality and not their actual location.

It's a region filter and I'm sure it was left on by accident (probably an overlooked feature of steamworks). I'm in Australia and I have to set my download location to UK in order to find more games in the player list. I can play people from anywhere in the world but only if they invite me to their game or we use the same region setting in steam. I'm not sure if the filter applies to ranked games.
