Good questions Lewis, I personally have no idea whatsoever why we aren't seeing jam packed dogfight/coop servers at the moment. If I'm allowed to have share a theory, it might be all the negativity on this forum that have scared away people. After all, the game is pretty solid, especially all the neat multiplayer features like scripting that a lot of people have taken to heart. Things like that really makes it a lot easier to join a quick coop game or for online wars. It really boggles my mind why a game with such an accessible multiplayer framework doesn't attract more players online.
It also might be because people don't have up to spec PC's. Maybe in a couple of years everybody have caught up with the state of the art technology that is CloD. I mean, I don't even play it on my rig ATM, it's just a lowly Core i3 2120@3,3GHz, 8GB RAM, SSD and a GeForce GTX550 ti. I run every other game just fine but CloD is an all together different beast, even at it's current semi-optimized state my PC struggles with it, especially when there are particle effects at play. I think if the patch will be good, thousands of players might start streaming to the servers, I have a good feeling about the retail patch.
