Somethign is up with gamespy authorization.

Its the only explanation for the low population. Ive heard of stores around here sold out of the game day 1. Ive heard of many of my friends playing it. It has gotten fantastic reviews online.

yet only 500 are playing at one time?

I dont think so. Something has to be up. Someone from IG did post one time saying that they are not fully integrated to GS.

I doubt there is anything wrong.

Its not a MP only game. The SP got good reviews so a lot of folk might purchase for that alone. Doom3 has sold a assload of copies but its MP isn't a draw at all.

I have been playing mp since beta/demo and just started with the single player every so often. they did a damn good job imo. if peeps are playing on hard they probably will take a while.

I have a newby friend who plays over here and I will see what his experience is like. sp wasriveting to him the varied gameplay is great for newblood.

the nightly numbers are going up and will continue to do so.

my nephews have finally gotten into the game at eight years old. mp is very tough to get started on so they are practicing.

this game will live.
