In fact Arma2SeriousGames community has more than 1600 members. IFHardMode is much less than that but still enough players to enjoy the game. You can find their servers on GameTracker. As I said they play regularly at particular time. You can't play with them anyway, until you are fluent in Russian. Besides they have pretty strict rules that most of the players from other countries can't stomach :) At least that's what I've learnt. My point was that you shouldn't ditch a game's multiplayer saying "the multiplayer's dead, there are no players" just because you cannot organize it. It's rather your problem, not the game's. ---------- Post added at 11:05 ---------- Previous post was at 10:47 ---------- I wouldn't be so sure about that. How can you expect them to be happy if there is not a single word on the forum written in English except the game's name?

As a matter of fact the game is quite alive. And it's not about mods or patches, nothing of the sort. It's all about organization of the game process. There are Russian iron front and arma2 severs that are buzzing. They have hundreds devoted players and their games are very exiting even to watch. They play regularly, mostly on weekends. The games strictly organized out of it as well as inside. You must get your registration on the server before taking part in any game. Every new game is announced in advance. There is a chain of command and you play only your slot. Every new player has the probation time up to three mouths. So, other players won't take any crazy stuff. Suffice it to say that the arma2 sever is named Serious Games. My point is that it's not right to say that the game's multiplayer is down. It's not really developer's business to lure people into multiplayer. Find friends, build the server and go ahead play.
