You missed that boat. Don't worry though the multi ship only lasted prolly a month, maybe 2 at best. It was full of holes though and sunk shortly after.

You may get lucky and find a match here and there but I doubt it.

^ Oh when I tried playing it that happened to me as well and I thought it was because GfWL was trying to match me up with people from my own country...

I just don't get why everyone has to join the server before the game starts, there are games from 1999 that are still being played on MP and that's because people don't have to round up 10 people to start a server, anyone can join and leave whenever they want...

You can join in the middle of the game, I do it all the time.

I play occasionally. Try queuing up for Civil War, it's the most played mode by far (straight team deathmatch). Good luck if you want to do Capture The Sister for the achievement, though, it's near impossible to get a game of that going, though I'm told Sundays people play the game.

I'd be happy to reinstall it if you guys want to get a game going or something, Only need the Rank 40 achievement, so might as well work for it.

I'm always up for a game on Sundays 8:00am - 8:00pm Pacific Time. I'll be queuing in civil war since I've heard people play that mostly.

As for the gamertag from the other poster, I'm not sure what to do with that. I don't know much about it. See you all in MP.

I play multiplayer. Civil War is the only mode that I've seen games in.

I'm in California and sometimes see games in the evening, but I usually see more games very late night / early morning Pacific time. The lag is usually very bad, and I'm guessing that the host isn't in the U.S. I've seen games during the day on weekends a few times.

It's not much fun to play in a match that's mostly full of level 50s who have about a second's worth of a jump on you because of the bad connection, but what can you do. You'd think it would get old for these guys at max level, who almost always play elephant gun/electric combos -- and why are they running around grabbing ADAM vials when they can't advance any more? What little XP I get, I get from ADAM vials, since at least those tend to stay still -- unless I'm hit by a lag spike that randomly teleports me around the room, without being able to touch the ADAM vial before some level 50 runs by and grabs it.

I live in California as well, but I seem to have much less of an issue with lag than you. Only about a quarter of my games are too laggy, so I'm on most days now.

But yeah, if you want to play, civil war is your best bet. I'm almost always guaranteed a game on that setting.

Well I played last night for a few hours from about 10pm Pacific to 12:30am and had a good connection. There were maybe 15 or 20 people playing Civil War off and on, but nobody in any other game mode that I saw.
