Pre-Covid Days from 2012-2018 was this games peak era. IDK when, how or the exact moment this game began its downward spiral but I hope and pray the new owners analyze what lead to the games downfall and do everything possible to revert the current course. I've been patiently waiting since 2022 (after the COVID Spike in activity died down immensely) for the game to recover, for the glory days of UN games, GGG games, WW1 scenarios, all that. If you ask me yknow what the issue was? The game got stale, the best map makers quit, the most popular players retired due to life things, and the genre of mil sims and war games is a genre that's dying due in part to the fact that the 90s, and early 2000s babies are aging away from this. When I started playing I was a dweeb, young newly married, and years later I come back, divorced, kids in highschool- I'm fatter, my hairs not as full as before, the same thing all old players and the old guard of this game are going through. you ask me, the only thing that'll save us- is the next generation of kids. But look across the gaming industry as a whole- Call of Duty games, Battle Field games, age of empires 4, Victoria 3, all these new modern war games have in common? from studios with millions and billions to spend? THEY ALL SUCK, THEYRE ALL doing poorly compared to the war games a decade ago - same genre. same players so in theory people would love em, but no, now kids wanna play Fortnite and whatever other BS YouTube streamers got going on. This game is dying because we don't have a Ferran or a god damn Baby Shark streaming the game play. Sorry for the rant but its da truth. IDK get a stupid millennial to stream us - introduce ads - use revs to pay for younger audience attention, instead of sucking this thing bone dry until the people who love this game die and the cash cow goes away forever.
