These are the actual online player counts snapshoted at midnight CET... Even Bugout76 is topping BF5's player count at this specific moment....
No, they are not. Number snapshotted don't change every reload. There is no API for player number. Site is a total load of BS.
Just made a quick check on the modes Breakthrough, Conquest and TDM for EU and NA Servers... Counting all players with a calculator actually playing on these servers I get a count of 5243 for this two major regions. Actual PC players... if I add Oceania (2 active servers with 69 players in it in Conquest atm) / Asia (4 Servers active) / Southamerica (3 Servers) and Africa (0 Servers) I get an all in all of around 5800 players at the moment... Now add PS4 and XB to it (BF5 sold better on consoles) and I bet you're getting real close to this number.... Do the math for yourself...
By the way... It's not a "Ghost" Protocol... this is only the Nickname for their GoHost-Network-Protocol (GNP):
" After a few months of playing around and finding what worked, our group of misfits got better at tracking the network traffic of popular games and eventually our Gohost (pronounced “Ghost”) Network Protocol technology, otherwise known as GNP, came together. It’s not perfect but it is closer than anything we found. "
It's 100% fake btw
This site is a lie... It gives you a random number from X to Y everytime you refresh the page
Because there is no API for getting that info.
