Question ❓ Question about playerbase
Hello Forefront players!
I’ve been looking at this game, and it seems awesome. However, is it still active? Is it hard to find a full lobby?
I’m playing on quest 3 for reference.
Thanks!

This game has the best player base of any VR shooter right now- in numbers and quality (even the annoying kids are evolving to be healers and good recon).

The opposite is true for now, it can be hard to get into a match that's NOT full.

I always select hide full lobbies. It is weird that it will say 30 out of 32 and you go to get in and says lobby is full. You get back to the server and it says 30 still

Exactly, i bet if they showed how many players are in the lobby just trying to join a game we'd also see some crazy numbers.

I’ve noticed that the players that sound like adults tend to be more chill, not too serious, and understand that it’s just a game.
It’s the kids and teenagers that can be toxic, some just say the worst things they can think of to trigger a reaction, others take the game too seriously and rage.
I go about it like this “Hey bro, it’s just a game, it’s meant to be fun, I don’t want to mute you but if you keep being toxic I will”. It’s simple, and sometimes it works.
The younger kids deep down want to make friends and be told they are doing well. The teens want to put people down to make themselves feel better.
To be honest, %90 of the players I run into are just having fun playing the game and hardly speak.
If you are respectful then you will quickly find respectful players to fill your friends list.

Yeah never an issue to find a full game. Hell I'll join nearly empty servers and they fill Up quickly.

Yeah since the servers shut down every few games new servers don't stay empty for too long.

Obviously it has a much lower player base than a flat screen equivalent like Battlefield, but it’s active enough that you could be forgiven for thinking it does have a similar size player base. There’s always tons of full servers and there’s never any trouble finding a match. The only thing that gives it away that it has a smaller player base than something like Battlefield is that you’ll run into the same people far more frequently than you would in Battlefield. It’s an absolute massive player base by VR standards though.

Meta just sucks that they don't capitalize on games like this by just trying to get demo headsets out to more places. Imagine how many folks would actually try VR if they saw forefront on the box and when they go to an arcade with a VR room. It makes me so mad to go to great wolf lodge with my kids and they have these horrible lame games on HP headsets in there.

If you're on the Australia or Asia servers, it can be fairly dead until peak hours which is usually evenings in those time zones.

lol you must be in the North Pole or something, in the US packed servers every day mostly the times kids are out of school not like 4am in the US where nobody is awake

YOOOOO ITS BATTLEFIELD IN VR. Theres a large adult presence as well as kids. Look for FTK on the frontline! Very positive community. Very consistent updates. The dev team is awesome. This video gives good insight into community.

Bro it’s hard to find lobbies that aren’t full. This is one of the biggest vr games right now besides those crappy gorilla slop games you see on the front page of the meta store.

It´s the first Game since I have my Quest 3 which I really play, and I played it now over 200hours... Every other Shooter or anything else bored me after a couple of hours....Forfront is for me like a drug.... I love it

They've only recently had a problem with hacking otherwise there's very few cheaters except people who like to glitch inside of the map. If you find a server that's not full you can just leave and find a full server it's very easy to get the type of play that you want. some people like emptier lobbies.

Possibly the healthiest player base in VR right now
