Mike I think that's a symptom of the CS community as a whole. We CS fans are a slowly dying breed whether we like it or not. Ladders are down some 20 players each year.
Having said that, CS enjoys some of the most committed players around. It is a truly fabulous little engine and I for an example can't see another game I would continue to play in a similar manner. The only other series I spent time are the certain Total War eras, and while I love them to bits as well they are about solitary gaming not about community and H2H gaming such as this.
Maybe the eventual Modern War release will bring new players in. Still, the masses are with the modern first person shooters and I don't see any changes to that.
So I don't know. If this is not too much trouble keep it. I guess there's not a much of trolling going around in this particular forum. I do like the topic, and it has prompted me to try new scenarios a couple of times.
And no you may not close this forum before The Phony Offensive have been selected!
