Many new players recently which i see as a good thing !!!

Its great playing with a new set of fresh players instead of the well-known regular older players.

I was on a server last night bout 2hours and all players were lvl 35 or below and ive played couple hours this morning in a server where bout 90% of players were new.

Although be warned.. all the players are now using the FY71 and the scar(with reflex) but ive seen a few people use the notoriously known scar+laser.

Most ppl bought it bc of the sale so thx crytek!

****[Edit]
I also think bringing it back to steam was a good idea because many are saying they bought it from there.

Pethaps it's true what Crytek are saying about learning from past mistakes. I hope this is a good sign for Crysis 3 MP.

Yeah, it's really awesome, and it's still on sale (50%) until the 23rd of July (Link) so hopefully we'll keep seeing new players coming in. Just need to make sure they're having a good time and server admins are cleaning up hackers as quickly as possible.

The only difference between Crytek and other normal companies is that other companies tend to make more patches once a new DLC comes out....

I'm going to buy maximum edition because of the sale, which is 50% off.
