weee retail DoD players! Looks like i'll be breaking out the admin_ban command more often now. Bah. It is both a blessing and a curse. The DoD dev team is finally getting credit for all their great work, but at the same time I fear that the DoD community on a whole will become the same as CS's did. *shiver*

ok, backing up KFS
CS comunity started sucking WELL BEFORE it went retail
DoD Comunity also sucks
hell so does the NS Comunity
note when I say comunity I am talking about those playing note those posting (I know a good number of people on this bored never/rarely play and I am on that list due to crapy internet)
I play Dod for one reason: I have a good friend who is the head of a clan and his clan runs a NO BS Server, thus I play there and NO WHERE ELSE! If I could find the same type of server for CS I WOULD PLAY IT same goes for NS
Going retail does not compleatly destroy the comunity, being one of THE TOP PLAYED O/L GAMES DOES. <a href='http://www.computerandvideogames.com/r/?domain=csp&page=http://csports.computerandvideogames.com/index.asp' target='_blank'>CSports</a> there are 2.5K people playing DoD as I type, a good number of them are idiots. Look I am fn proud that the Game I stick by (HL) is still churning out greatness So please, stop beeing elitist **** and feel good for a groupe of poeple who probably just had their dreams come true.
Oh, and as for DoD Not putting out info, go check out their forums thats where it is all posted <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

Well said, Thansal.
On the info topic, how often do professional sites update their own sites? Not often - they're too busy working on their games! Same thing happened when a lot of the DoD guys got relocated to Valve.
Hell, I'd jump at the opportunity to have what the DoD guys do. I mean, yeah, we had our little gag yesterday... but damn, how awesome would that be?
On the subject of community, also try to think of these things as towns rather than just one solid community. Within any community in a town sense there's a number of sub-communities. Every town has its bad areas, even those with only a couple thousand people in them. It's easy to focus on the bad areas, but if you look a little bit, you'll find some really great ones. And that's when games like CS, DoD, NS, and hell... any of them out there... really become great. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->
I think that a comunity don´t sucks because their mod becomes retail. I think that the bad players (lamers,cheaters...) sucks. I know good players of CS and DoD and very good persons, of course. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.natural-selection.org/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo--> I think that is an error generalize about something. And if this notice about DoD retail is real (is very suspicius in fool´s day) i think that the next retail halflife´s mod must be NS <!--emo&::asrifle::--><img src='http://www.natural-selection.org/forums/html/emoticons/asrifle.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='asrifle.gif'><!--endemo-->

And yah, I am serious if you want to know anything about DoD go to their Forum, there is ALOT of info out on it.
