What do you mean it's too late though? There are more ppl playing now than ever. Up to 1500 on line at a time. I don't remember ever seeing it that high before. Also there was more spread on the weapons back then and major hit bugs. Nostalgia is a wonderful thing. lol I think it was the fact that there were no other realism based shooters back then and Q3 was huge that makes ppl remember 2.0 so fondly. Have you played it lately? You should get it and put up a server. You might have fun. It won't run on io though so you'll need Q3.

most people find as golden the era they were immature enough to be impressed easily. however, it's never late, even at later ages there are ways to release your inner self and escape from the boundaries being put artificially by pretend seriousness.

i played a bit of 2.x and 'twas pretty good...
but at the moment i'm basking in the golden glow of 4.x
c'mon baby sniff in that sunshine... sniff it real hard for me. Although the forums aren't really that lively all the time, the servers are plenty lively.
play a couple rounds with some good players and get some of that blood pumping through those old veins and be reborn! i dont agree with the 'becoming a pro and shooting then moving on to other games' cos there's more than that. perfecting the movement in this game will always keep you coming back to do more death defying leaps.
by the way you referred to SID but the dev team is now Frozen Sands... also, why did you quote yourself with the long post without adding to it?

I think Chrillee's pov is mainly on the competition side, not public servers, and there is a lot less activity nowadays on that side than there was back then, as surprising as that may be.

Chrille ..before u release this book .. can u get my name right then?  thx 
i too was dreaming of the good old 2.0 days .. but i really like this version, ofcuz there is always things u like to be better, but in the big picture its really great. it would be nice to see more old school players get back in the game thou. but ive seen that puff** is up and running again .. nice

bladekiller I have to disagree to what you are saying. 1500 is not bad but back in 2.x we had without doubt 5000-7000 players evenings. In addition, if you look at clanbase you can see the same statistics. Each Open Cup with less and less people, this season we only had 1 division when we had 3 before. Saying that urt is more popular now than ever is just pure BS. Sorry, but I'm a straight guy, fact is fact.

However, the game is much faster than before no doubt about that the introduction of powerslide and walljumping was a huge sucess. The aiming was better back in 2.3 2.5, even though it did excist hitbugs/netbugs. 2.x aim is not comparable to the spray in 4.x.

Again there is only one way to come around this and that is to decrease damage and decrease spray. Puff would gladly help out to test out and balance the weapons since in my opinion random players can't do this, obviously they don't have the aim to balance the weapon fairly. I reckon Urt could become huge there is no other mod that is so fast and with nice movement, aim etc. It can become a lot bigger with the right decisions.

I'm a great supporter of the community and of the game but you have made some really bad decisions over the years, changing maps that everyone liked instead of changing maps that ppl do not like so that they might like them etc etc.

Now I am sure I will get 99 replies from n00bs that played the game once and randomly call people wh and aimbotter on servers and make useless suggestions and statements.
