    PS3 MP dead already, wtf?!

    Battle mix: 45
    Domination: 85
    TDM: 490
    Transmission: 0
    Firestorm: 0
    Silver/Bronze: dosnt show #'s yet to get a match there

    WTF!!! It's been like this all day to, early in the day I seen 1,000 on TDM but all the other modes were under 70.

    This is so confusing I never seen a games multiplayer release player count so low since the ps2 online gaming.

    MP is excellent to this is puzzling to me, is everyone in singleplayer/map editor? Did people quit the online since it was buggy (not no more at least for me) or did the game just sell like ****?

    Then you must only play AAA games online. Most games, even ones that review and sell decently, don't even come CLOSE to the player count of year or two old AAA titles.

    You don't consider this to be AAA? I sure as hell do...

    To me AAA only means insanely huge budget. It has nothing to do with quality or fan base. AAA games will sell better because of the massive marketing push they get. FC3 got a decent marketing push that it only came on recently. Halo and CoD will advertize big time for months. Even a great game like FC3 can't compete with that kind of marketing blitz.

    with this stupid random lobby system, i won't be surprised if players will decrease in freq rates, especially after i found out, even you create map you barely get it to play.

    Far Cry is AAA for sure...

    @ T

    Well GRFS had like 60k online on Xbox at release week.
    MoH did have like 10k as highest count.

    FC3 MP is better than these 2 MPs and only has like 500 Players online. And u have to know that its on place 2 on the UK charts already 1 day after release.

    So i think most people have no idea how good it is. So they dont play it. Result is that there are less people so its hard to find a game and because of that there are even less people playing.
    Maybe they all are just playing SP.
    But obviousl this MP deserves way more players. I hope some YT will make vids about it and maybe then people will play MP.

    The fact that the Mics don't work and every moron wants to play team deathmatch. Fix the **** mics to save the online community.

    They obviously scared people away when they confirmed no vehicles and no dedicated servers for custom games. I know of at least 25 people who were going to buy it until they made those stupid decisions final. I personally haven't even bought the game for myself (not worth it), but my neighbor has it and says he doesn't like it so I use his copy when I can. I don't even touch multiplayer though (and I'm a big mutliplayer guy) because it sucks hard. I like the custom options for your character (battle cries, gun system, rounds, armor) but without vehicles nor custom game servers it just ... sucks. I mean you can't even party up before a game. WOW. All this def. scared people away.

    Also, this game IS a AAA game. It's Ubisoft! They are up there with Activision and EA in terms of budget and sales. Assassin's Creed 3 sold 5 million copies already. Why? Because Ubi advertised the sh*t out of it. It was a good game too. The only thing to blame the unsuccess in this MP is Ubi Massive for taking away vehicles and custom lobbies.
