Great to hear you guys are joining the new matchmaking standard but still showing the "community server" population love. I'm interested to see if the skill ranking system will help new players get into the oldest, best, FPS franchise in the genre. There's no doubt in my mind that 99% of vets will be running private servers and/or casual pubs modded to hell, but if matchmaking is a success, I can only see CS taking it's rightful place as king again.
Sidenote, the more I play this game the more I love it. Keep up the good work but remove those damn molotovs!
