Reminds me when Relic hid the number of players searching for a game by displaying a percentage value instant. Just looks better i guess.
this game is far from the dead.
CoH1 and DoW2 are dead games, not CoH2.
Avg. Players, March 2014
CoH1
1,741.8
CoH2
2,612.6
CoH2 Lost 29.73% of it's players during February, 19.24% in march. The game is made some good progress in matters of balance. Western Armies will bring back some guy´s and attract some new players. And many of them will play some time and move on soon after because Western Armies will screw up the balance. As OF did in vCoH.Calculating with about 3000 - 4000 players average in long terms sounds realistic to me.
CoH2 is not dead but i don´t think there is much potential for the future if we talk about player numbers.
