Is the game dead?

[Uncanny Moskvich]

I bought beyond the wire some 2 years ago just to watch it die, and I don't feel like wasting money on another game that may be doomed from the start.

I just finished playing another session. Game seemed alive enough to me, EU server, plenty of full lobbies etc.

Which region would apply to you @OP?

The US/NA and EU are the most popular servers, and then the SA, ASIA/Korea and AU servers wax and wane and are very much dependent on the time and day I believe

NA

Unfortunately the game is utterly dead in the Oceanic region - I just joined a game at 5:40pm Australia time, and there was a single server with only 6 humans playing. Such a shame to see a game that had a lot of promise to fall over so hard. Oh well, time to uninstall.

Oh, and that was 5:40pm on a Sunday - every other online shooter is chock full of players on weekends.

in EU "plenty" means 3 or 4 servers. and another 2 o 3 with a lot of bots.
is this "alive" for you? for me the concept of "alive" is more than 10 servers with humans.
but I understand is a matter of optimism.
atm, sunday afternoon, 250 players world wide. really "plenty".

In EU it means that I still have to tick off "show full" so I can quickly find games I can join.
And since I have played full lobbies every single day since release I'd say that yes. That for me counts as plenty, since you can't join bots rooms unless you go look for them.

It's not a matter of optimism, it's a matter of actually being objective, a quality that we all could use when discussing in a public place.

Population is dying, imho due to the exceedingly high number of cheaters. I playted a few matches this morning and there were a minimum of three people with 100+ kills and less than 10 deaths at all times. Also, try googling "Isonzo aimbot". Another wonderful game killed before its time...

One full server is alive.

Come on.. don't lie to yourself. Game barely has 300 players online. Depending on region and time, you're not able to play.

I am not lying. I play every single night and I have to skim through full lobbies before I can join something.

"full lobbies" - you mean a single server that has enough people lol

Functionally the game is dead, yes. Don't waste your money.

There are four open public servers on US/NA servers at 9pm CST right now. One lobby is full and another is half full. Two months out from launch and this game has already lost over 90% of it's player base. Go check the steam charts.

And yeah, you'll always be able to get a game thanks to bots and the small community that keeps these games "alive", but come on guys, when most people ask "is a game dead" they are asking if there is a vibrant community with content and all the rest. And the answer is no. There is barely anyone here.

One full server means its alive. Halo Infinite lost 90% of its playerbase within 3 months.
