Player population

How is it?
Steam doesnt show any number which often means its not well populated.
Are there still full servers?
Is it crossplatform? I assume so as other EA Games need you to log into Origin anyway.

Sidenote: Steam Charts dont work for this title or the first one.

Hm. I hoped that the release on Steam might give a few multiplayer games new life.
Like Plants vs Zombies. I actually liked the Shooter. But its MP is absolutely dead and continues to be.
I didnt have the chance to play SWBF2. It released with too many issues. Hoped it would survive as good as BF3, which somehow has still an active community filling servers all over the place.

I regretted buying this game and already requested a refund. Just get the PS4 version. It's honestly better and has a higher population than on PC.

Most games have a higher population on console.

Yeah but only as long as the console is the active generation.
Demons Souls was pretty active and populated when the PS3 Era was reaching its peak, but return now to that game and you wont find anyone (which is sad because its the best game of the series and needs other players to invade).
Same with games like Uncharted or Killzone.
As soon as the new console hits the market, the population of so many games die out nearly instantly on consoles.
One reason i would love to see more crossplay between PC and Consoles (where its feasable and enjoyable, like racers or whatever).
Its simply beneficial for all.

Can someone tell me: is there enough players on EU servers? I've been thinking about buying it for a couple of days, but I don't want to get dead game even though it's on sale right now.

I bought the celebration edition when it came out on Origin and had a ton of fun until I realized I could only ever get into one specific map rotation due to the population issues. I'm hoping the steam release reinvigorates the population. I have a feeling people will feel like it's a dead game since they are no longer actively developing anything for it and the game population feels low.

It's damn fun when you get a full game together though.

I dont mind whether it still receives updates or not.
But i would only buy it if the population is large enough to keep it alive for at least half a year.
