How dead is the game?

Steam charts do not show the number of players here, how few do you feel?

In short - not particularly dead, but you will see a lot of the same faces after playing for an extended time.

Getting matches in EU and North America is relatively easy, queue times (as long as you aren't playing at weird hours like in the middle of the night) rarely take more than a couple minutes.

Ranked leaderboards show ~1.1k players and players who do not play ranked for 2 weeks are removed from the leaderboards, many do not even play the ranked modes. People in the game at the same time generally float about ~500 across all regions combined. Doesn't sound a lot, but since no gamemode can have more than 8 players at the same time, it's serviceable.

Real problems really start only if you are from a less populated region - Oceania, Asia, South America. There are consistently pickup games organized by the community however.

tbh worse part is always having to wait to matchmake, 50% of time I end up alt+f4'ing and simply moving to warfork, ql or xonotic and i can jump in right away without wait time and no one rage quit the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ game.

Why would you post such question when there's another one on the front page already?

This is not a dead game. Get a crew together and play some bots 4 v 4.

I almost never have to wait longer than 2 minutes for TDM. Central Europe.

If they had to kill it, I'd take a single player version going up against bots for the gameplay feeling. I tried that a year ago for an entire season. I did have more peace of mind.

Does the base game include bots? I haven't played this yet--just added it to my library.

Yes It does and you can choose their difficulty
