Before I download a massive 100+gb game... again. Is this game even worth it anymore? and I dont mean content wise, theres tons of content and what seem to be some damn good maps. My only issue was last time I played, there was a total of like 2-3 NA servers with players in them but none of them were full, mostly half full. I dont want to play against bots, I get no satisfaction from killing someone who isnt going to react. So if the lobbies are half full like the last time, I wont even bother.

I don't know about NA, but EU is full on weekends. You have to find games on Portal.

I mean steam player counts show some pretty dead numbers but it may be worth a weekend to give it a try. I never gave this title an honest chance back when it launched(because it was dog ass at launch, cant really blame me the launch maps were horrendous), I was hoping to see if things turned around

After being disappointed with BF6, I actually migrated all the way back to BFV

Don't go off steam numbers, as there is cross play and EA launcher players as well

Try Portal and TDM, that's where the numbers usually are for me

Literally same. A buddy was like "Man battlefield v was pretty good" and I said "I have it, dont think ive played it yet. I hated bf1 so I kinda just skipped this one" to which he replied with "Dude, it was easily one of my favourite games in the franchise" so for the past month weve been playing that game. Really fun but god damn are the pilots ever good. This one dude, Yodle, is an absolute MONSTER with a plane. I cant keep a tank alive for the life of me when that guys in the sky. My only takeaway from that game, I hate and I cant emphasize this enough, how many god damn buildings I cant enter. So many times ive been running from a tank, only to find im in a dead end hallway where all the doors are aesthetic doors and not functional doors. That and like 50% of the maps have GOD AWFUL designs and pacing, heavily favouring 1 faction.

lol yeah, air is really strong in BFV. it was kind of one of its biggest criticisms.

Steam is meaningless for battlefield, all series veteran players buy battlefield on EA app

It's been decent. The worst part is that matchmaking will go from a mostly full server to locking you into one that's waiting for enough players. Weekends are still epic. TDM is usually full. Fwiw, they've tuned the bots way up. They react and smoke you way more than they used to.
