I still play it with friends every couple weeks. We still have a good time, especially now that you can queue FFA with friends, and now that there's infection. Being able to play against each other adds so much to the experience.
I think the struggle just comes down to how little there was at launch. There was no progression system (the only way to earn anything was to do chores), there weren't many maps and modes (launching without forge really screen this over), and there was no PvE you could do with friends.
If the game had launched how it is now (so, 2 more years of delay which is insane) I think it wouldn't have died off as quickly. There's actual XP now just for playing, there are a lot of maps and modes and a community maps playlist, and campaign co-op.
tl;dr same as what everyone else always says. 343 dropped the ball hard on content at launch.
