This game is going to die a death.

I've been on the Zone for over 4 hours over the weekend and I've yet to get one decent game :mad:

Here's a list of what goes wrong:

1. The game doesn't launch properly from the Zone.

2. The game lauches but players don't make it into the game setup screen.

3. Players drop out in the set-up before the game even starts.

4. Players drop out when lauching the game itself.

5. Several players make it into the game but drop out in the course of the action spoiling things by unbalancing the teams.

Everytime I've played either as host or client one of these things happens.

I've also tried other player matching services like Wireplay but there never seems to be anyone around :(

Even the numbers of players on the Zone seems to be falling. There were over 100 yesterday evening today, usually the busiest day, there were less than 20 when I last checked.

I'm really on the verge of giving up on CS which is a shame because it's such a good game :(

Just been on there and I didn't have any problems apart from the usual people leaving game half way through, does get very frustrating, I think that probably accounts for most times on 2,3 and 4 of your points there.

Even more reason to get some kind of comp going asap, regular games with pilots/teams flying because it means something.

Can never understand why they continue to make peer to peer MP games, if this was a server based game I'm sure it's popularity would go through the roof :/
