I'm trying to make sof4 happen.
Ravensoft 
could honestly bang out a 2021 demo with ONLY mp_shop and jor1 in one weekend as a side project probably... could go one to become the biggest, most watched, most competitive esport of the next decade if they put it in our hands... let us do some cool things like having skins be something you have to earn.
Make a clip of the week contest every week, whoever hits the nicest ak play, best knife of the month, is the only one who gets to use that skin. Each one totally 1 of 1. Best sniper clip gets to use the red dot scope snugg made
It'd attract so much attention, playing in The Zoo and seeing "gossip girl" on top, 30/0 with a gun no one else has... Shroud would want to see if he can ruin a pro's perfect score.
plus it'd give hope to the randoms, even if it seems like a meaningless match no one is watching... it could still mean eternal glory 
if they just get one spectacular or lucky play.
Also whoever the admins (ross, shifty, you, ect.) objectively decide holds the aim crown at that moment shoots gold bullets.
So like, if farlig comes on once every 6 months, he could still take the crown the back if he proves right away it's still his.
He could be playing and all of a sudden the bullets would be gold, and he'd realize, aight... someone's watching, I'm REALLY feeling it now, and just pop off. Just so that way, even if someone is smurfing, when you see a person with skins, you know it's not just some 12 year old with their parent's credit card or even a hacker... but actually a pro. I think that's an opportunity that game designers should take advantage of, could create something greater than simply trying to cash in on skins right away... could use it to build the biggest spectator sport in the world, the cleanest professional first person shooter since counterstrike first came out. If it comes out in the beginning of 2021 for free, all the big streamers would want to try it, and if it's good, the way sof2 mp_test looked? was FELT good back in April 2001... then they'll come back to play public servers late night at night, after they're done scrimming in val or cs or ow or siege or cod, they'll eventually get pulled into mixes, some of them will eventually start playing against the good clans, and then lots of people will want to jump in a TDM, start practicing so they can join the race and compete against the cC. and sK. and c4. of the SoF4: quad dimensional world
not everyone wants a game where you have to stand still to shoot.
not everyone wants a game where there's abilities
not everyone wants a game where there's flashbangs
like, what shooters are there really out there?
cs
r6 ?
val ?
OW??
cod ???
quake?!?
none of those are really true, pure 5v5 first person ultra-competitive shooters
ppl want to watch pro matches and have it be simple, enjoyable, yet have the potential to be creative, gritty, artistic, with beautiful teamwork, spectacular aim, skillful nades, and SoF delivers all that in a way no other game can.
cs you can't watch someone's POV on a TV for the whole round, there's too many flashbangs to turn away from, too much non-action. SoF there's no reason to turn away from where the action is going to be coming from. Demo throwing knives are perfect. Demo 5 second nades are perfect. You could follow teh_xzi!!! or c4. Delta down small elevator every single round and it'd be captivating.
there's a market for this. Just no one is capitalizing on it yet, and the way to do it is a free mp_test
I could see the public INF and tdm community overnight being more alive than the days all the servers were full 23 hours a day:
The Zoo - 32/32
ShiftTM Gaming - 30/30
-={The Egg}=- Clan Server - 29/32
NoTagGaming INF - 29/29
NoTagGaming TDM - 28/29
[Distort™ Gaming] - 28/28
=NuKe= Home Base!! 27/32
dad's superserver - 26/28
tenbit.PL - 16/24
GreenRoom - 14/14
[B]illy's - 11/12
huh's superserver - 10/18
+50 more
I guess video games have kinda been missing from my life since the sof2 gold pugs stopped... getting trolled playing with randoms in cs & valorant who intentionally try to lose half the time just doesn't fill the hole that's left after competing against the best in sof2 for a decade
on topic; but did you edit gold color names into demo footage?!?! That's amazing
