What will happen to counter-strike?
What do you think will happen to Counter-Strike. Today I played CS again and the persons say that "this game is only luck", they don't want to stay in the cs-community, they search alternatives.
So what do you think will happen to Counter-Strike in the next month? Will the player live the community and look for other mods / games?

-> Both.
It'll therefore sooner or later become another 'classic', with a considerably smaller but dedicated community that'll keep it up in the same way some people still believe Quake(1) to be the end-all of gaming.
I give it two more versions as massgame, then the playernumbers will start to dwindle.
CS will be around for a long time, and here is why I think that.
1.) Re-playability. Sure most people know the maps, etc, but you can also play those maps using only an M3 or Mac10, etc. Also the tactics used can vary depending on who you are playing, weapons you can buy.
2.) Maps. There are a ton of maps you can play if you want. I still like de_dust, don't shoot me.
3.) It is one of the first social games I have seen. Most of the online games before didn't have a deadroom. You died, you re-spawned. No chit chatting. CS had round based respawns so you could do some talking with your fellow gamers.
4.) Resources. If something needs fixing in CS you have a number of choices on getting help. This is more important then you think.
5.) I have played other mods, some I even liked more then CS. When I want to play I don't want to go searching for 20 minutes to find 6 people to play with, because nobody is on. CS I can find a decent sized game at any time of day or night.
6.) Don't knock the strategy involved in CS. Play a good team and you will need it. I know pubs are not like this, but I rarely play pubs. Private servers and matches can be very intense.
CS will be around for a long time, in one form or another.
Maybe CS2 has a chance, other than that I can't see much happening until HL's graphics are so old it's unplayable, and that isn't going to happen, because graphics aren't everything, and HL is good enough to please.
Of course it'll one day turn into something like old dos-based games, newer OSes just won't support it.
Which is ironic, because for many this is one of it's biggest flaws.

I agree which is why I play mainly on private servers.
CS doesn't have spawns or lulls as such, but it has deadtime instead.

aye, it is a VERY social experience, mainly because of the readyroom. You wouldn't believe it if I told you how many times we Pt's would just hang around in the readyroom talking on voice comm and text and just running around for 15 minutes at a time, rather than actually playing the game...
Nope, Metroid outlived Gunpei Yokoi already, and is, as anyone interested in the console scene knows, <a href="http://www.nintendo.com/games/gamepage/gamepage_main.jsp?gameId=593&showMe=1" target="_blank">still going strong.</a>
