Oh I don't know, UT2K7 will be out within 6 months; Crysis will follow that... Lets face it, until GunGame came out recently, there was little desire to play CSS -- adding in a weapon economy sure didn't fix it -- I was at a LAN recently where people wanted to play with the economy for the novelty of it, then democracy reigned and it was quickly shut off becuase it was pointless and added so little flare to the game as to be considered a worthless mod.
Lets face it; since Valve took CS and converted it to Steam it has not been such a powerhouse. I realize there are still many people playing but look at the average players per server -- this may be a good way to cull some of them, but honestly, as a player, I see this as a cheat -- if you want to come to my server and play, you play by my rules or you get the hell off my machine.
