Poll Time!!!

[fizzlephox]

Do you think DoD:S will help improve DoD popularity when compared to CS and its variations?

Dammit!

... I'm sure you've noticed by now there's no poll. Of course now that I think about it this is a yes or no answer and these things have never constitituted very decent polls. A poll should have more than two options (US and most countries political elections!!!!).

So just say yes or no to the question and why.

Me I think it won't just cause there're too many CS beaotches.

I don't think it will be very popular because it's only available to a select group of Half-Life 2 buyers, namely people who bought silver or gold steam packages.

Currently there are -
49,000 people playing CS1.6
5,532 people playing CS:S

So if we calculate theres about 1/8th of the total amount of people playing CS:S as opposed to CS1.6.

IF you apply that 1/8th rule to DoD
There are currently
4,494 playing Dod 1.3 now
There might be about 560 people playing DoD:S now, if it were released.

Those are my player number projections. Also take into account bronze and HL2 voucher holders also get access to CS:S.

I do not forsee a healthy future for DoD:Source.

I think thats due to the large number of people who preordered the game or the CE, so they are waiting for 16 till they get it, i say that after the city opens, there will be 15000 people on css

Not to mention that CSS has been out for what, 4 weeks?

And CS (most people who play 1.1, 1.2 etc upgrade) has been out for like , what, 5 years?

Time will tell

 

[Naudian]

Yea time will tell...I hate time

DoD:S definately wont be too impressive after playing the super-makeoverified counter strike source, and HL2. But, Hopefully it will get better and more popular after a while, cuz i think its a lot more fun than counterstrike... I wish more people would try dod and not think that its some lame third party POS :hmph: ...

I think that because the publisher of DoD (Activision) is different from Vivendi that DoD:S will only expand to those who know what DoD is and really want to buy it.

I mean that if DoD:S had been Vivendi's they could have included it in the retail box , or at least make it able to download or something like that. So people from CSS would say oh let's check it out... But this isn't the case.

 

[Mr-Fusion]

There may be some contractual clause that says Valve can't give access to DoD:S for retail buyers until a year after later or something. But everyone's under an NDA meaning they can't tell us any of their plans.

Think of Opposing Force. I payed for that but now it's a free download on steam.

We'll see how it pans out.

DoD is now a CPL Game .. It's starting to become VERY popular here in Denmark.

Lets just hope that people open their eyes for DoD:Source

"Ikke sant?"

 

[RipperRoo]

To be honest, I dont want half of the twats that joined Dod in retail 1.0 to join Dod:S. I would much prefer the older fans, back from 1.3b and afterwards to join, the community was much nicer back then.

I'm pretty sure that DoD:S being a full fledged multiplayer experience at the time of release instead of a progressive beta, that and the graphics/anticipation would cancel out that rule.

This is confusing but I'll give it a shot...

Pat Buchanan

I said a joke like that at my friends house. They asked who i voted for in the election and I said, "It was really confusing and I accidently voted for Buchanan." His mom just looked at me weird and said, "It was computerised how was it confusing and who is Buchanan?" I just told them to forget it. The thing is we live in Florida so I thought they'd get it lol.

 

[Synthos]

well, this means that the people buying dod:s will most likely not be the whiney bitches... I hope.
