I am thinking about buying the game and I mean seriously considering it. but I don't know if the game is still popular enough where i could get into a game with people in it. Are there still enough people online playing this game? thanks for reading and responding

Depends on the platform
There should still some on consol
PC have gone rather much downhill with their online players
Thought it depends time from time

I have an xbox so that's what I would get it for does anyone know the player base still? thanks for catching that by the way.
