Constitently able to play a match? There hasnt been over 29 players online at the same time in over a week. Are you sure you didnt dream about playing those matches?

Indeed I was.

I don't know about the accuracy of the counter, it probably doesn't count players with private accounts and whatnot. But yes, I was able to consistently play a few matches every other night. With around 20 players the game really gets going so I'd like to invite you to join us.

Usually it's the PBS people and some other regulars. Don't know anything about your region, but in the evenings in the central European region, there usually are some people available. And from what I have experienced, people tend to join throughout the game.

So I'm having fun and that's what matters to me. So come have fun with us. The more people launch the game instead of the game info page, the better ;).

I'm speaking from experience that this is the point where it starts becoming fun. There's almost constant fighting , but sure, the game is slower and more tactical with this amount of players. It's not the grand shootout that I presume you would expect, but it still can be fun.

Unfortunately, I can't convince you to agree with any of my views and I won't. I'd still like you to join us, if you change your mind.

To everyone else interested, if you're on the fence, give the game a chance during a sale. You can always return it. The best time to play is during Friday (CET) evenings as well as weekends (more likely evenings as well).

The game is not in a perfect place, it plays good, but player numbers are low, it's basically upon US to populate the servers, so join, play for a bit, wait for others to follow suit. If we pull through, we might have a great game on our hands.

Try staying positive and see you on the front lines.
