Currently my multiplayer experience has been much, much better than what other people have reported here. A lot of good things, but some bad things as well:
1- I have a hard time finding matches, the most players I've ever been in a dogfight with is 6. Most player on team battle was 4
. I have yet to find a match of capture airfield or strike, but I haven't been searching that hard yet.
2- When I do find a match however, people will score kills at least once or twice every few minutes (my record is 7 kills). Usually I guess it just depends on the players you are playing with.
3- I have encountered only 2 people who crashed just so I wouldn't score a kill. Most other crashes were from damaged planes and occasional spinning. I do agree however, there should be a penalty for crashing or something of the sort. (the worst part is the number of deaths/crashes isn't even factored towards a players score; a player with 3 kills and 20 deaths is apparently doing better than someone with 2 kills and 1 death)
4- I will also agree that this game won't sell as much as other games being released soon (no surprise here), but I still think a good enough amount of people will buy it. I have heard people say it will be a 'silent hit', but we won't know for sure until a few weeks or more.
6- I have encountered no bugs in MP or SP at all yet, and I have only gotten lag once or twice during MP (and even then it wasn't that bad, usually only for a second or two).
5- About the title of this thread- It should be changed to 'No one plays it online'. The game's great.
