Considering getting this game

from Sins Forums

I'm considering getting this game, however i have a few questions.  

 

1.  Is this game first and foremost a competitive multiplayer game? Or is this primarily a single player game?  I cant really tell from what Ive heard so far

2.  If the answer to the first question is yes, is the community still alive and well, will i be able to find a server etc.?

Primarily single player

Its a MP game that unfortunately doesn't have alot of players in it due to a crappy interface and other technical issues. Right now theres barely 30 "competitive" players in it so if you're looking for a MP experience you are going to be disappointed.

Most players tend to play Singleplayer or organized co-op against the AI. This is especially true for people who play with mods; the game has quite a selection of mods that change the game quite a bit, but multiplayer for those mods is, AFAIK, basically non-existent.

That said, the game does have a multiplayer community, though it is more small and dedicated. Since the way you play multiplayer is vastly different from the way you play singleplayer in this game, newbies have a lot to learn and the community isn't always patient enough to let them learn. If you want to play this game multiplayer, you better be ready to wade through DotA-level toxicity without the benefit of a large playerbase. Plus the game's multiplayer interface and infrastructure is roughly that of Warcraft 3 custom games'; server disconnects and desyncs are not uncommon.
