I asked the same question not to long ago. And guess what the answer was? It was "NO." The reason? Nobody is playing it anymore and there was a lot of lag.
I played the demo and enjoyed it, but with all the competition from Gears 2, COD, Halo, BFBC, FarCry 2 etc. I guess the community would be quite small.
if the game hadnt have been as ridiculously laggy as it was the online community would still be strong enough to support enough games, however the lag was so bad that i, along with virtually everyone else, stopped playing because even after a month and a half of being out the game still had no patch. i updated once i think and it solved nothing for any of us. the game by itself though was sheer fun. if you had a group of friends together who know how to coordinate and work together as a team there truly isnt another gaming experience like this. since the games lagged so much we ended up just playing against the hardest difficulty of bots and seeing how quickly we could beat them which was fun but not enough longevity to keep us all playing. plus i wont lie, we didnt have competition online either, we simply dominated. teams werent organized and would set round times to the max, 30 minutes. we would beat them in under the minimum time, 10 mins, normally beating them in about 7 on offense and then would turn around and hold them for 30 minutes on defense, it was sad really.
In a word, no. I bought it on release day and it was horrible. Better on the PC IMO. I held on to if for a few months thinking it would get patched, but the lag never got better and the players were quickly leaving. I don't know if it's in good shape now or not, but I'd venture to guess not. If you want a cheap MP game similar to ET:QW or CoD:WaW, try Frontlines: Fuel of War. The dedicated servers have almost no lag and support up to 50 players! Yes, there are 50 player matches still going on and most of the time they are full. There's also plenty of people still playing, myself included. Definitely worth $20 and especially worth more the ET:QW.
