What is this like multiplayer?

[Bill the Butcher]

Oh I thought there would be more, but that makes sense since it's a RTS

When I play....Then I usually start a multiplayer match with 50000 Manpower,
because then the game is a little bit like the "World in Conflict" game
and awesome fun for me

However, if one selects that mp players can only join with great computers in the setup settings...then nobody shows up for multiplayer.

If one leaves the default setting for weak computer joiners,
then most people drop out of my matches with their 386sx.

So, I blame this games engine and the matchmaking.

I just wanna play randoms with lots of stuff going on...True WW2 feeling.
This game's engine and match-making sucks, sadly.

If this game had 10000 manpower/500DP 5v5 as default auto-match, with a server hosting infrastructure ( lower player pings ), player units doing more automatically, and an updated game engine ( for 386sx joiners )...then I would come back to this.
Otherwise, I'm off to Men of War 2 ( tested it 200 hours )
and Broken Arrow I`m afraid.

My opinions, other people may have other opinions.
Wishing everybody a nice and great new year :)

Men of War 2 has fully automatic 5v5 random matchmaking, with low player pings.
The game engine + dedicated servers, also prevent any kind of lag or stutter for other "receiving" players.
If a player has a technical problem, then that player drops out without affecting other players in any way.
In play reality that nearly never happens with that game.

With other games multiplayer technology, it is similarly great, citing Crossout & World of Warships as examples.

This Ostfront game on the other hand ( with its laggy P2P network structure and overloaded game engine ) is like true problematic 90s-style multiplayer, sadly.
Otherwise, this could be a great game package.

IMHO the game engine and the laggy network technology are the two areas where this game has huge deficiencies.

I would like to have good auto-random matchmaking, like in other great games.

I'm only play multiplayer in GOH. Since i play MOW and play single mission in assault and like result buy MOW for playing multiplayer. As for me, GOH single mission are not interesting. I played almost full soviet and german company about 1 year ago. But i enjoy only in multiplayer and playing with real gamers. In last updates developers really raised amount of online players. In last time i can join and always see enough rooms to play. But sometimes you must wait for the others to join to start the game.
