Kids these days doesn't have the patience to learn new games which are already old, if you know what I mean.

Because they will get slapped and probably rage quit for eternity.

db tdm today

[FLAiR]

yea lol that's what we talked about on msn Sten
dunno if you remember flair but in 2009-2010 we had 16clans in several consecutive cups...
and there were like about 300+ active competitive sof2 players now there are like 50+ maybe 100 ppl like me sylt, rocket who only play 1-2 times per month or even less.
Some caserun and tdm servers were sometimes full at busy hours, there were still some activity on INF/DM servers too, now there is like 20ppl online most of the time.
Plus then 80% of cupwars got played on schedule, and now people don't even want to play them
And according to Rocket 2009-2010 was still x times smaller than the past (well maybe besides the size if the competitive scene- that according to xillax was more or less same size throughout the years(we talked about 2yrs ago about it) but now competitive scene decreased in size considerably imo

I read your and Rocket's post. I can't believe there was such activity. I would love to experience
that, but I'm still wondering about the 'downfall' of the activity...

Can't recall 2010 very brightly, since I started playing max 1 hour per day/2 days, but I think we should
make a plan on how to revive the activeness in stead of complaining about the inactivity.
A bad ass movie, with somebody talking about the gameplay etc, about the most played gametypes would be awesome.
After making this movie, we could post it on the bigger gaming forums, so they could have our attention.

Awesome huh , but it didn't last long. =( Most of the guys disconnected after 10/15 mins for war/mapmix.

Thank you for proving my point, this screenshot represents most of our active community..whatever is left of that atleast

[skyloline]

How so? At least half of them are known players. For example, igor(rus) is fleim n shit.
And people like camham etc, they were playing mixes at that time.

Sof is dead, sof has been dead for years. It's not competitive anymore, atleast for me it's not, last 20 wars I played (2 months ago) were all against the same opponents, you keep warring the same guys over and over.


Demobase TDM runs empty 24/7 except for random occasions like on your screen sky... lol

SoF2's dying if not already dead. So lets stop discussing this inane topic and get in game and start playing it. That might help it live. To be honest lately every time I've gone on SoF2 there's been at least 20+ players on Dinks and easily 11+ players on Demobase and then three mix-wars occurring all at once.

It`s very hard to say when this DEMO will die, since each individual considers dying differently. If you played demo because of clan activity and matches, this demo is as good as dead. Atleast for me, this demo died the day we needed to start making teams in order to play more wars. If you enjoy playing public, then this demo is still alive. Yet, I have noticed that the #1 infiltration server (dad`s) is being more often empty than full these days. In the past, no matter what time i would come to the server, there were always someone to play with.

I think the reason for public activitys decreasing, is the new maps and mods. There are very few players in demo left and when you divide those players to 2-5 different servers, you get only half full servers to play in, thus resulting to the death of public gaming.

CONCLUSION

To revive clanwar activity, there should be some kind of limit how many players clan can reserve. For example, only 10 guys allowed/clan. This would force us to make 3-4 new clans, thus increasing war activity.

To revive public activity, there should be less servers and only 1 map. This is demo, things working in full games with players of 150 000 are not working in game with 50 players.

cool story bro
