A small topic for discussion now i admit i am not on 24/7 but there is a big lack of interest as the majority of the servers are empty. NA time they become a bit more active but thats not the point. I guess im just generally dissapointed that this mod is being overlooked by so many.

I think it's because a whole bunch of people tried Beta 1 in the 3 years it was around, played it for 15 minutes, and realized it sucked, and left with only a few hardcore people sticking around. They're probably just not giving the new and much improved beta a chance.

Dude it's 3pm on a Thursday.

Do your part by getting your associates to at least install the mod, and then ambush four of them at once to get a whole gang into a server. Advertising everywhere to everyone is the only way to get noticed in the short-term. I think we will do okay in the long run; though at the moment we are suffering from being backstabbed by Valve.
If a server gets to four people, it fills up. If it is at 3 it can go either way. A two-man server only stays alive if the players are of comparable skill. Needless to say, I have a poor history of helping seed a server that is at 1 or 2 when I join. >_> But if I push a 3 to a 4 it's up to 14 by the end of the round and I am forced to move to another machine.
We are also competing against established games like TF2 and L4D and CSS, which has trained people in the exact opposite gameplay of what we enjoy. That makes it difficult to draw someone over since they go straight to being a noob again, when they can just go back to being a bigdick in their old game.
SSL: Which is why I kept and keep saying we never should have released it...
-
The valve thing has been a slight turning point. BTW i do know its early 'american' time i just thought more europeans would be active. As for seeding a server thats just fail unless i join when its already populated :/
-
As long as people keep playing it, the popularity will grow, as more and more people download and see people playing.

I've seen a slow down as well. I know some people who miss some features of 1.1 and don't like b3 for some reason.
-
Features of 1.1?
Lag.
Epic no-reg.
Toggle accuracy-reducer on PP7.
...I don't get it.
-
As I remember it, 1.1 HAD NO FEATURES, it was an amalgamation of suck. Wait till 3.1 is out, I think that will help bring back the people who shelved it and are waiting for the update. Also Valve nerfed us, and everyone else.

Features of 1.1?
Bunnyhopping I think

That is not a feature, that is a flaw.

They miss the silenced ZMG.

That´s all ?
I think this game deserves much more chances. The devoloper-guys have done so much awesome work in such a short time. This game just kicks ass.. and by the way it´s for free !
And I´m sure, sometime it will even be better than the original game. We only need Alec, Xenia, Bunker, Facility Backzone, Casino & a little granade launcher ;D

You know that I did not mention that one for good reason.

Aaaaaahhh... good ol' popcorn gun...

If you complain about empty servers try to get ahold of the server admins and get them to lower slot counts.. everyone flocks to 16+ servers which is bad in many areas.
Float on a smaller server and it will fill up in a few min.

While we're already talking of the old times... does anyone know what happened to Boris the forumtroll? Oo
I guess he would have been more than glad to have an achievement dedicated to his favorite charakter ~
-
i think he changed his name to PPK
-
I think he moved on.

I think he moved on.
now PPK and myself are the trolls ;-D
-
so is the update the reason the number of servers dropped off or what ?
-
get the 3rd party patch and you will see more servers that updated with the workaround.

30 servers currently with about 5 active servers with players.
