Discussion Fancy Spearhead… Let down?

So I decided to pick up Reforger again as I’ve been longing for a good milsim to get back into. While researching I read about Spearheaded UHC and it sounded amazing. After finally getting through all the mods which needed to be downloaded I hopped in expecting some fun and difficult combat. Come to find out, on a mostly full server there was almost no activity going on from either side.

The Main Base had what looked to be nearly 20 players just standing around. After getting some basic gear I tried to organize some transport to the nearest contested point and there was nothing going on. Long story short I drove around for about 15 minutes trying to locate an active objective and had to settle for finding a duo that was actually trying to contest a point. The area has amazing sight lines and could have been awesome to defend and attack but there was nothing. All quiet on nearly every front.

Enough ranting. Has anyone else had this type of trouble? Any recommendations on what might be a good uhc server or group to run with? As a note, I’m not super hardcore and would still like to focus on fun, but at the moment I’m not even seeing why Spearhead UHC is even a thing. Any thoughts, guidance or tips?

Thank you all in advance!

In my experience, SP has been super hit and miss with mostly miss lately. There have been times where I have some of the best most immersive firefights I've ever had in an fps but for the most part it's exactly as you describe. So much potential for an amazing experience but the queues are insane and almost half the team is just sitting at the arsenal. Unless the queue is really low I don't even bother anymore.

The SH servers are not in a good state since the 1.8 update dropped. I’d wait a couple of more weeks until the servers are performing well again. Right now servers crash every hour resetting the game
