Amount of players in a match

[Quack, der Bruchpilot]

As far as my knowledge goes, there can be a maximum amount of 12 players in one game. BUT: does that mean you can spawn solo as well? Had a game with a random partner where we got both bounties, never saw another player and heard 0 shots / crows etc, that's why I am asking.

The actual matchmaking remains a mystery as Crytek has never released any concrete information.

What we know is the game has up to 12 players since 1.0 but we don't know when the game starts. There have been several confirmed reports of players joining a completely empty server, but it is very rare.

So basically you can expect up to 10 other players, solo, duo or triples, but there is no guarantee there actually are that many.

for some odd reason players can die or just kill mobs of enemies and just extract

Sometimes, especialy in the early morings, servers are never full. Sometimes its empty, sometimes people just bail out.

During EU daytime, nightmaps are also very often empty/ or barely filled. Because a lot of people cannot see anything (surrounding lights on their monitor f.e.)

I formulated it poorly. I didn't mean matchmaking, I meant something along the lines of "when a game actually starts relative to the amount of players joined". We don't know if a game can start with only, say, 6 people trying to load into it.

i always take quite some time to wait for players so i would think it does wait for everyone to load

That's true, but I mean to say if a match can start with less than the server's capacity. We simply have no knowledge on whether it does so regularly. We do have reports of people booting in completely empty servers.
