There is still a really decent sized player base on Xbox One. I've had no problems finding Attrition, Hardpoint or even Marked for Death lobbies.

Unfortunately don't know that many Xbone Goons that play besides Papa Javes, Beastwood and Knightprojekt.

What's your Gamertag? Hit me up and I might play... I don't feel like playing Ghosts anymore now that I'm 10th prestige. I've also got the season pass.

He's been bitter since Super Monday Night Combat took a poo poo in 2012. But like he said, it's been a hell of a ride. Super fun game.

Honestly though I'm surprised with how much flak this game has gotten in terms of community size. IMO it's a much better game than BF3, CoD, and maybe BF4 (If I'd played it more). It's sometimes rough around the edges but honestly it is a super fun team based shooter and probably the most fun I'd had playing with goons since the SMNC pub stomp days.
IMO it's problem is that it's to small of a game to hold people for to long. Sure the matches are fun but after your umpteenth attrition on Colony you just get bored.

At least with BF3/4 you had different experiences because there were enough players that you'd end up with stalemates at choke points, and you could do stupid stuff like knocking a tank into the air to shoot down a fighter.

It didn't have the clout of COD or the content of Battlefield. The ironic thing is it was better than both of those games by miles. It didn't get picked up largely because it was so... odd. No single player campaign, and a fast paced, vertical based infantry warfare game with giant robots. On paper to me that sounds amazing. But to most other people it doesn't.

Also it lacked any significant matchmaking. We always enjoyed it because we were flying high stomping pubs but imagine being on the other end of that. How many players quit because they were on the receiving end of countless stomps?

The game was great, it did a lot of things more shooters need to take note of. And people will continue to play it for some time but the population will continue to dwindle and the only people left will be the competitive tryhards (AKA us). It is effectively dead from the standpoint of how many players a MP game should have, but its alive in that is zombie corpse will remain for probably a year or so. Much like SMNC did.

Besides we're all playing CS:GO you nerds. If you want a real challenge you should man the gently caress up.

edit: Lots of this is aimed at the PC release which already was at a faulty footing because the games core demo was console players. The console scene could very well stay much more active for a long time if I had to guess.

You know, there are more people who post in the thread than hang out on mumble, so you should be upset too.

Personally I think Titanfall did really well. How many MP only shooters get this much traction and following and keep it for months? Considering it's essentially a prototype as well, They've done well with it. Obviously EAs millions of marketing dollars will have helped, but they made a fun thing. I'm excited to see what they do going forward with Titanfall2 or whatever. A lot of the mistakes that got made here with balance and whatnot should be good off the bat and hopefully it'll do even better.

Having said that I think I'm slightly blown out on MP games, having played a bunch of Ghosts and then TF, now when I think about sttarting TF up I think :effort: and go play Watch dogs or Wolf:TNO instead.

It's not dead. I just fragged noobs for an hour with a buddy in Marked For Death and I had a good time. I also got an Amped Vortex Shield for the first time which was surprisingly fun and I never use vortex shield cause I'm a baddy.

If you're on console and someone is talking about how the game died quickly just assume they're on PC and you can ignore them

Is that because console players only get to play a few games and therefore play them for longer because they have no choice but to pay eleventy billion dollars for each game? :smuggo:

Genuinely though, that might be a factor. That and the fact that there really is less choice. PC has a wealth of PC only indie stuff. I know there is some on PSN and XBLA but nowhere near as much. And we ALL have ADD.

Back in the day when I played Quakeworld, UT etc. I didn't like to jump around from multiplayer game to another, I liked to play one thing for a long while. I think most COD & Battlefield players are like that. That's why the whole yearly COD thing actually works out, despite how much everyone complains about it.

I like that for every one post I make there are about five posts complaining about my post. It must be especially upsetting because I continue to be technically correct.

Also there ain't no shame on phasing the new Wolfenstein, game is all around good.

Also in no way would I be upset the game is dead. I got hundreds of hours of solid play out of it. For some people in here though they have nothing left to cling to so they'll grab ahold as it sinks into the ocean claiming all the while it's unsinkable!

Except, of course, consoles. That poo poo will be populated for a long time because there aren't any other games (lol next gen).

It's actually because console gamers have more time to actually play games because they're not searching the internet for beta video card drivers or editing .ini file settings every time a new game comes out :laugh:

Game is alive and well on xbone. I've been on holidays for a couple of weeks and have played a few hours a day with plenty of gen 1 players. No trouble finding games whatsoever. Had the new maps come up in normal rotation quite often too which was a pleasant surprise, to the point where I'd groan every time swamplands came up.

It's way way better than it used to be of course. But I remember years ago (around the Duke 3D era) explaining to my friend's wife all the stupid hoops I had to jump through to get a stupid game running on his computer and I though "wow what am I doing with my life"

If you have to download new beta drivers every time a new game comes out then you should probably just stick to consoles.

I pretty much get games to just work but had a surprisingly hard time with titan fall. Forever I would randomly lose connections to servers after loading a map and only just a month ago realized that reducing textures from ultra to high changed it. Game was pretty badly ported.

OK I'll say it, this is actually a solid tip. Ultra textures break so much stuff it doesn't even make sense. And they don't even look that much better than high.

Right now I can't voice chat in TF PC because of something hosed up with my audio card drivers :(

Anyway these days I'm splitting my time on PC vs xbone because I'm playing with a friend on PC now. West coast PC is definitely a lighter crowd than on xbone but you can still find full rooms for attrition/hardpoint during peak times, and I'm pleasantly surprised at the number of gen 1s that are playing. I may have been able to steamroll a team of gen 1s last night when most times I'm the one getting stomped, so the matchmaking may still need some love…
