I’m on the east coast, and have yet to play a game. My 2000+ XP is just from running around empty servers and checking things out. The one time I saw some players on a EU server, I was excited. Went to get something to drink, came back a couple minutes later, server was completely empty. I was like WTF? Just the way it is. I feel like even if I get a game going, it will empty out after a couple of maps anyways. If the game plays out like ET did, then I dont even mind the small rotation of maps. Hell, most of my hours logged in ET, were spent playing on the original 6 map stock servers that used to be around. There were so many different strategies to use on the same maps, it never really got boring.
So I feel like you, spent $120 for l337 forum accesss. Woohoo! :eek: I was quite excited seeing the tutorial video of London Bridge, and thinking OMG its a Goldrush re-do! YAY!!! Then the matchmaking option appeared, and the sense of despair sank in, and my apathy returned. I just don’t understand why today’s PC game developers always seem to fall into the the console chasm, and think they need to dumb down PC games, and make them play like consoles. ARGH. Infuriating. Takes forever to repair an EV, several seconds holding down a key to pick up a container etc.
At any rate, getting off track here. I will keep checking to see if there are players on. Been passing the time lately playing Homefront and Bad Company 2. Same tired maps, but still a ton of fun.
Maybe we should have a NA friends list?
