Well i have been told CF EU has 2 channels only at max. During GMT normal hours UK4 and UK3 are usually full. Not as much as it was agreed, but its hardly dead.

There's a rather large portion of the player base now is from the Middle East region so when it's night time for them the servers are way down. As MissA stated. During prime hours UK3 and UK4 are generally full and NA1 will have at least 2 1/2 channels full sometimes more. Certainly not the population it used to be especially from the NA/UK areas...but that's to be expected with an aging game especially in the NA/UK regions were big gamers want high graphics and get bored with games fast and move on to the next new thing.

which is why i laugh when someone suggests something with the idea of bringing back old NA/UK players or even bringing in new ones in large numbers....it just won't happen unless we get a large update to graphical abilities and even then...it'll still be on the same clunky engine cause putting it on a different engine makes it a whole new game.

No one played crossfire for the graphics man.

Let's see. We have two UK servers full most of the time, and a half-filled NA server. Each server has 10 channels. Each channel can have 30 rooms max. Each room can have max 16 players. Since not all rooms are completely full all the time as some players stay in the lobby, we can assume max number of players a channel can hold at a given time be 16*30=480.

So 10 full channels in a UK server = 4,800 players in one server, and 9,600 players in both UK1 and UK2 when completely full. Assuming a half filled NA server has 2,400 at any given time; 9,600+2,400 =12,000

So there are around 12,000 players playing this game during prime times. We can guess the Egyptian population to be around 80% as no servers are even 1/4 filled during night time in Egypt. This means that there is roughly 9,600 Egyptian population playing this game during prime times. Guesstimating an overall playerbase for Crossfire NA, I would say 25-30,000 total players currently consisting of CFNA, with less than 4,000 total players from NA and EU.

Pretty bad I'd say.

If anything the majority of players that left were Free 2 Play players, because many people are still buying zp, some spenders have left but not many.

Even if all remaining 30,000 players were spenders, this would still mean bad considering this game is a f2p game at its core. Therefore it's essential for this game to carry a good number of f2p players at all times. Low playerbase kills a game, period.

It isn't really dead since you can matches and I would count a dead game as it being very hard to join a match.

UK3 and UK4 are usually filled in prime matches.

But I can say the game feels pretty dead.

If the game was totally dead, we wouldn't have a forum to discuss about it being dead.

Hmmm you got a point

but then even the forum isn't as live as it used to be lol

Nah its dying but not dead yet. The game isnt improving and inovating on its own, same buggy gameplay, low tickrate servers and problems as always. They dont seem to realize quality > quantity. So the playerbase is declining for years now since new and better f2p games are getting released. But as long as the higher ups are willing this game can last for many more years im sure.

Infact, cfna doesnt look like 4-5yrs ago dat from UK1 to UK4 are all full.
Now only UK4 is mostly full. And rip cw server. Only 1 channel who play cw around.
It makes me sad but at the same time nope, we cant blame ppl to quit this game bcs of unstoppable hackers.
Wish this server will come back just like before "if" they will update the anti-cheat a 101%!
