Game is dead

I havent been able to find a decent match in almost a week. Everytime i start the game i quick join to constantly load into games with less than 5 players. I've tried AS/OC and NA/SA servers and both are empty. Such a shame as i really enjoy this game, too bad no one else does. I'd like to know what the devs plan on doing to bring the player base back??

Idk i feel like you people aren't doing something right because just than i click quick join and found a game with 15 people within in like 10 seconds or something.

I think there is a problem in matchmaking. But what I did most of the time is just wait and chat with new people. Within about 5 to 10 min, server is full.

Recently, I don't know if it still work this way, If the number of player is enough, the game will also start with less number of base. I had a warzone type with 6 vs 6 players. Which I found interesting, it's like the size of the game is actively evolving depends on the number of players.

Dead because it does not have a server browser.
I warned it would happen.
Matchmaking is spreading players to empty servers.
So everyone is giving up playing.

We still have issues with the matchmaking system that we will be fixing shortly, it should improve the experience overall.

We see people want the server browser badly and we will implement it but we need the rest of the game (with the MM structure etc) functioning beforehand, so it won't happen in the nearest months,

Overall the population is a mix of a number of things (content, wating for updates, performance, server situation) and it will improve once we have more of the game working properly and more content added.

Indie shooters have to really be something special to succeed. This game released at a high price point (for an indie) and had serious launch issues. Despite Insurgency 2 being a huge success, it seems that Sandstorm is about to head in the direction that this game did. So it's not JUST this game.

Have you not seen the player count lately? Low numbers of players online mean low numbers of players in matches.

I mean i thought this was going to be the BFV killer, i just saw the playercount today and it's at 450 or something

Lol i ain't gonna lie it's funny to see so many people believe that was ever gonna be the case. Not a Battlefield fanboy but the hype for this game killed itself deader then a herring. The World War 3 twitter was sharing videos with the titles "BF killer" was very hilarious like really? Just jumped off the porch already trying to showboat? Not good.

Nothing can kill Battlefield. I wish some of these dime-a-dozen indie shooters would wisen up to that. Verdun: dead. Post Scriptum: dead. WW3: life support. Every time some genius tries to be the BATTLEFIELD KILLER they usually end up killing themselves.

The only indie shooters to get anywhere don't try to sell you on the fact that they want to KILL BATTLEFIELD. Insurgency and Squad are two great examples. They weren't released to cash in on BF hate, they were continuations of classic mods that people actually wanted!

SO to be honest should i buy your game ? Tell me why i should buy it

Many have adverstised as BF Killer for a long time. Doesn't matter. BF will always have a fan base that will support it going foward. Like COD they are entrenched in the games. This game, WW3 will find its place. It will be played for a long time. Numbers of players do not matter, if players are enjoying the game. So, you stop playing because the player base numbers get too low?

I don't wanna leave the game, the game is good, the problem is that you get on servers with low pop like i said, you get in 5v4 matches and rarely a full match
