Not true. This is just counting Steam users. Remember that people play on Battlenet and console too. And as there is no crossplay disable feature for PC version Steam numbers dosen’t really matters as they are the miniority

I’ll tell you I still play ashika island. But not nearly as much as I used to play rebirth island. This game is so frustrating.
Audio really makes it unplayable. I can’t hear people landing. People run up with no noise. Without my high alert I’d be dead twice as much as I do. Everyone also holds hands religiously. Can’t ever kill one without 2/3 other within 30m. There’s no way to reshuffle gun fights against 1v2 or 3 or 4. Tac sprint is inconsistent. Bullets not registering. Etc. Just so poorly made at times

I havent touched the game in 3 weeks.. MW 2.0 and WZ 2 is just ass
RLnoskill
Hope it goes to 0, havent touched the game in like 2 weeks or so.
When the game is shit and devs dont care about it and they care only about “store bundles” it shows…

Not surprised at all

cs2 hype killed it on steam

No wonder , incredible bad servers. Performance issues.

Does this include console? Cause last I checked, PC never had the same player base.
PashAK47
That’s still a fuck lot of players bf2042 had like 2k at one point and it was still very easy to find matches

Has it gone worse again? I played last night for the first time in a few weeks and loadout markers were glitched AGAIN
RogueSingularity
They still won’t learn

Game fucking crashed for me constantly once WZ released, with no rejoin function. Not gonna keep trying to play it when it keeps trying to stop me.

This is after FREE Week too, which generally should be a spike up in players instead of down. 
I’m happy the game is on steam not just for this, **Steam Reviews in a way exposed the “yesman pages”** and reflected the community’s overall feelings. (As if Twitter, Reddit & Youtube comments aren’t enough)

Our group is like:
No plunder, no game.
We played DMZ in Season 1, but bc of work, kids and different factors, everyone missed the second weapon slot. And then breaking news came in and everyone in our grp left DMZ 🙁

Multiplayer is trash

Thats just steam users right?

I have zero trouble finding a match, no matter what time it is

I just can’t stand the terrible servers.

Good. Show them how bad they blowing it

Wonder if it even survives before next cod

It will pick back up when gunfight comes out in a few weeks.

It satisfies me seeing this game crumbling down

I rarely comment here, however the constant lag switching is really destroying the game. I’ve slowly been rolling back the amount of time I play. My squad was robbed of a clear victory by it again last night. Shame really.

Havent played WZ2/MW2 in weeks. Still having fun and enjoing playing WZ1 and MW19. Way more better and satisfying.

I’ve been loving Resurgence on Ashika. Don’t really care about the numbers being low. I’m having fun.

I would play this game if THEY WOULD LET ME.

good, now drop more.

I actually don’t have many problems with the game, I’m just tired of it. Tired of this squeeze companies are putting in people to play a game constantly, I’m tired of battle passes, tired of updates, tired of having to connect to something. Tired of Activision
Why would I play when there’s other things I actually enjoy doing?

WZ2’s almost non-existent skill gap is most likely responsible for its dwindling population.
Currently topping steam charts is CSGO. An 11-year-old game that just recently hit its population peak of 1.5 million players in March of 2023. A game known for its insane skill gap between the veterans and beginners.
WZ2 itself is an oxymoron, a “casual” experience with super heavy and manipulative SBMM. In WZ1 you could always work on improving your aim or movement, or if you got tired of using ARs you could try sniping.
In WZ2 what are you supposed to get better at? When the most optimal way to win is to stare at a door with 2 claymores for 5 minutes there is little incentive to improve, so that’s why many don’t play as often as they used to.

Hmm when this sub says find a new game I guess people do

I hope activision shallow their pride and enable again plunder and rebirth island in WZ1. Yes, WZ1. Give back plunder and rebirth with WZ1 mechanics, or else the game will die a horrible death. It’s simple.

On Xbox Live, it shows MW2 as the #1 played game of Feb 2023. For PSN, MW2 was #5 most played game in the last 30 days.

Yall way too concerned about other people. If you dont like it, dont play. And if you dont like it and dont play why so concerned about the game?

1 year ago, and even before, WZ1 was sitting at 60k-80k viewers everyday on twitch. Now its at 25k, even 20k late at night. Streamers started playing Caldera again despite the map being literal shit. The gameplay is so good, it outweights the bad map. Can u believe it?
They were sitting on the biggest game of the last 3 years and they managed to scrap it under a few months. I guess its just typical activision behavior…nothing new here.
