why so little player base ?

[ReptileMan11]

i dont understand why the player base is so low for this game,ive just came from playing battlefield to this permantly and this is 5 times better, fantastic game. any ideas ?

Are you joking? I cannot get on a 64 player server. The question is why are there so few servers?

[BoredOperator]

If you've checked the playerbase today, it was unusually low because of the update that was just released. Servers need time to update as well as players. No servers = low player count. The game's normally around 2,000 players at any given time.

if this game had ground vehicles not even tanks i mean APCs or jeeps it would have alot more players,

There are many reasons. But you are correct BF5 is the lesser game.

Because imo it is not a very good mix of arcade and realism. Guns controlling like tank turrets and hit notifications (especially for headshots) make jungle warfare awkward and not exciting and chaotic at all. Game feels more like whack a mole.

Squad mixes realism and arcade much better and has way better looking and feeling firefights thanks to better feeling gunplay and no whack a mole gameplay where you spam at a bush 300 metres away and know instantly you got someone because of a magical headshot sound.

you should have come the release date, over 20000 people at same time...
the problem this game had is the lack of maps, there were only 5 (not sure but aprox) in territory gamemode, and over 100 ping for everyone in server but other than that, this game and the first are amazing and much more enjoyable than bf1 or bf5.

Simplest answer, Lack of interest on the fault of the devs.

thank you all, legends

Its a more slow paced / tactical game so that will automatically cause it to have a smaller player base. I never have any issues finding a server to play on so enough ppl play the game.

How has no one mentioned the optimization. Pretty sure a big reason alot of people left is the godawful optimization. I have an RTX 2070 OC and a ryzen 5 1600x and I still get lows in the 50s on all medium. Bash BF1 and BF5 all you want but those games run miles better and also look about twice as good.

Because the only people who have optmization issues are potatoes or uncooked potatoes.

Nope, steady playerbase use SteamCharts.

People bash BF1 and 5 because the game is designed around LOD which is why the quality is trash past 5 feet if you turn the effects off that hide the bad details.

Its too hard of a game for people to get into. You need a little bit more brains than the average fps player lol. Even more so for squad then you must be brain bug tier compared to average players to command lol.

wow i didnt know having a current generation RTX card and a 1600x oc'ed to 3.9 ghz was considered a potato. If I cant get 100+ fps in RS2 on all medium with those specs, then theres no hiding it, game runs like trash. Up to the devs now to fix it, which i doubt will happen since its been 2 years since release already

Funny, how your system stays the same and you have the same issue. Sounds alot like a issue end since I have a current gen RTX card too and runs 74fps with Vsync locked. Mayby you should learn the basics of Oc'ing before dabbing in it.
