Is Shadowrun still being played...

...online? Since multiplayer is a very important feature in this game.

Isn't multiplayer the only feature in that game?

Thought there was a small campaign with bots.

I don't think it's really a campaign..It's just an offline multiplayer match. That's it.

yes alot of people still play it, i haven't played in a while but when i do play i'm alwys paired with diffrent people so it has alot of people playing, it's not like army of two or lost planet where so few people actualy play online

Yeah, it depends on when you try to play though.
Sometimes you can get into a game within seconds and others upwards of 5 minutes but the amount of people who still play it is quite high

There isn't a large amount and it wasn't given great reviews but the multiplayer is incredibly well balanced.
And thankyou, i hear god things about these forums

So it's worth getting for the multiplayer?

I have it and it's awesome game. People still play online, It's awesome becuase 360 users and PC users play together, so there's always people online.

If you dont mind the occasional wait then yeah i recommend it.
watch out for katana elves though as they seem to be the most popular setup

The online is the only reason to get the game. However, it is much more deep and complex then most other shooters. It was a blast, and its such a shame that the game pretty much failed in sales. The only problem you may want to consider is that the connection craps up more then most games, which makes achievements much harder to get because the progress is not saved, and search times can take a long time. However, I blame that on Microsoft for shuting down FASA before they could fix it, not FASA themsleves. I have not played it in a year, so it may be better. It is a really unique game that did not get its proper respect.
