is it a dead game?

[AsoftDolphin]

It is on both Xbox and Playstation, what about here?

About PC, it depends on your timezone. If you are in Europe or the US it's not dead.

I don't know for Xbox and Playstation.

The game has a smallish but consistent playerbase on PC.
Usually around 300 players online.

Damn xavier you went hard on cutting out this game. Only 3 friends on your list? Lol.

Pc is the most populated version. its not great but if you are from EU or north america you should be able to play the game normally.

Yes. People still play it, but the community is so ♥♥♥♥♥♥ toxic these days it might as well be abandoned. This game used to be a lot of fun, but now the servers lag too much to facilitate competitive play. Everyone is toxic asf in the game chat, both in game and lobby. Filth people play this game and spit their vitriol onto anything within their sphere of toxic influence. 2nd worst community on steam behind Rocket League

Avoid this game. It is dead now. It is not fun

There is no "multiplayer servers". The only servers involved here are "matchmaking servers", the lag you experience is due to the Peer-to-peer architecture ; it is actually the lag of your own connection in regards to all the players present in the match.

In Rocket League all the players connect to a single server. The ping displayed is the ping between you and the server. In Awesomenauts all the players are connected to everyone (but without server). The ping displayed is a kind of average but i'm not sure of its exact significance.

This is all well and good, until you end up playing with people from Australia, Japan, and Brazil in the the same match!

It actually shows two ping numbers, one is the average for that player, the other is your ping to the specific player that your looking at.

If your dealing with 150+ its mostly fine, but once it gets over 200 it's just bad. I like to start a match by checking the enemy nauts, and their ping. If the ping is high you've got to play differently to be effective.

Sorry for the off topic.

Not as dead as Gigantic haha

[BloodWolf]

Well its still fun, so what if the game is dead, it doesnt warrant not playing it??

I still sit for up to 12 minutes in Australia tryna play this game because its so good. Just wish they'd actually get servers so that lag isn't providing me with 6/7 deaths. pls Ronimo <3
