Well....

Ocean map is now available for testing on multiplayer.

^ a line from the most recent update

If you weren't here a while ago, you used to be able to use all of the maps in multiplayer, but the devs realized and acknowledged it was broken about 2(?) updates ago, when they made it use the swamp map only. This was so they had a more controlled environment to testing multiplayer, and they made servers simpler to set up (you used to have to open ports and port forwarding and all that mess). Basically they know it doesn't work atm, and they're working on fixing it. Progress won't be fast though, only 2 (or so) people work on this game, assumingly in their free time.

Also everyone cares about multiplayer being broken. If you click through the discussion pages it's complained about all the time, sometimes several times in 1 day. So everyone wants it fixed, don't worry about that.

not dead but very glitchy and tough to play, but the devs did say they were working on it

I wouldnt start using dead for ANY game (if needed) until a while after a FINAL release, this is EA.

I can never seem to get multiplayer to work, I can't join a server let alone host one (despite double checking all the settings in port forwarding on my router).

What I don't understand is how there seem to be some people on YouTube that are managing to play online.....any tips anyone?

Don't work :((

How old are those videos? Although clunky and complicated to set up, multiplayer was somewhat playable in the past.
