CS Status: Alive or Dead?

[Kool Kat]

Gents:

I am frustrated by the long development cycles for both Modern Wars and the 1.05 patch.

Having said that... I applaud and respect all the hard work underway by Jason and the Matrix developers!

But as others have stated... even with all the "Developer Diaries" and screen captures being posted over at the Matrix Forums... it's like struggling to sit through a long cycle of movie previews, commercials, and "turn off your cell phone" announcements prior to the actual movie starting!

However, IMO CS is more "alive" than "dead" now!

CS game completions keep trickling in, if not daily, than several times a week. Folks are playing CS and game play is as exciting as ever... as I am sure John will attest in a recent and memorable RS match!

The H2H Testing Area is humming along with scenario submissions and test games underway.

Tourneys and the custom mods area are seeing continuous activity too.

We are also preparing for the roll out of Blitz 3 - a Website that features a new infrastructure and interface for our members. It will replace our current Blitz Website. I'm sure this complete redesign, while not CS specific, will generate player feedback on the forums!

Finally, in our recent funds drive, the majority of donations came from CS players! Clearly, folks here care enough to put up their own money to preserve both the Blitz and CS Forums!

I don't think our devoted group of CS players are going anywhere... and continue to be "alive and well"... even if things are a little quiet here.

Would like to have other folks chime in on this thread.

I updated the thread subject line in the hopes it will generate more player responses.
