I play on it almost everyday as do thousands of others. It seems that most are playing custom maps, but you can still find a 3v3 random after a few minutes in the queue.

It's multiplayer online only. Completely lacking single player campaign or mode. You cannot even created a private match alone against grunts and spectres and even if you could you still need to be connected 24/7 to actually play any of the game including the tutorial. It needs Internet to be playable.

Yes it does just that the lobbies are pretty empty now. Not a lot of people play the multiplayer anymore but you can get lucky to meet a few players there. You can also arrange games with your friends who have the game too. Hope it helps.

It plays alright. The choices in the different zones are reduced (blocked off) when playing with fewer than 4 players. So, while it's still playable, it's a lot more fun with 4.

I don't think the online servers are still there (I have never tried to access them) - CNC 4 may be an exception. You can play multi-player on an internal network.

oh definitely. Its just like playing other MMOs. You don't need a crew to help out. Most or the objectives have people around doing the same missions. There are some dungeon (kind of) modes, but you are able to solo most of them or just skip them. they are not even necessary for story play.

It can be played solo fairly easily, but I'd recommend playing as 2 different characters most of the time. It's sweet spot would be with 3-5 players depending on the group.

It is worth it. I never played the multiplayer one bit. I only played the campaign and it was amazing. I have recently been thinking of getting it again to play thru again. but if your looking for an amazing campaign this game has it. I highly recommend it.

It is online only, I wish this game just had a four player split screen mode. Matter of fact, all MMO's should have optional lan or split screen modes.

All versions are on same servers. PS3, PS4, and PC players all occupy the same servers together without restriction

The maximum number of players is 5. It is set as 1-5 players so you can play solo if you want. Haven't done that personally.

Yes! I have mostly played with just two players. If you're feeling ambitious, you can try to control more than one character if you want as well to have that bigger game feel.

Not at all. However, it is pretty easy to understand the mechanics and how to customize your MS. Also remember, if a mission gets too hard, you can always do it online co-op up to 4 people.

THANK YOU for asking this question. (I can't believe the number of players is overlooked in every part of the description of this game. It's as important as the ages that it's designed for!)

Depending on the amount of players it could take a couple of hours. It is a lot of fun especially when you have a big group of people.
