I click Launch and I'm in a game with 7 other people(if they don't disconnect) all the time.

If you want to see a dead game, try playing MechWarrior 3 or 4 online.

It's the strangest thing 49/50 drops within 2 seconds of hitting launch I'm loading a match.

If that's a dieing game i'm not sure I could keep with a healthy one.

Yup, three weeks with out a patch and the sky is falling....

Heaven forbid some organized play drops off a little during the holidays. The new netcode should be in a soon patch. I reaaly dont see what all people still have to complain about. They will manage to find something.

Yeah, the only thing dying are the 8v8 matches. My group often plays in smaller teams too, even if there are 8+ members online. It's just boring that there's only one team config and strategy that works at the moment. They should have restricted 8v8 by tonnage (600 tons?) or weight class (2/2/2/2 or something). The game in itself is still fun though, and I'm looking forward to the new match making.

They're already planning to restrict drop tonnage (or at least that is what Bryan eluded to in a recent interview on that Mittani interview thingy he did).

Careful what you say here......

Soon enough you'll have 24 pages of posting by Vassago about the reason 8 man are dying is because we are all too scared of him, and to lame of players and need to farm PUGs.

I seriously hope they do not restrict tonnage, but move to a tonnage matching system. All restricting tonnage will do is change the optimum drop to something else.

That's just the old MW3/4 vets way of saying. "hello, would you like to play?"

He he he, every time he posts all I hear is a whiney mackum. The game is nowhere near as dead or broken as the doom and gloom crowd would claim...

Ah but then I lose all the blowhard entertainment value....... Vass thinks he is trolling us, when in reality a lot of us throw him bones just to watch him go. He is so much more entertaining that way.

This is perhaps one of the least thought out statements in this thread.

I can find a forum for a dead game that has over 100 users browsing that forum and 99% of those are bots.

I'm surprised there are so many responses to this thread when the game is "Ruined" and "Dead."
