August 2009 was the last time Crossfire's monthly unique user count was in six figures. Now in May 2012 the sites traffic is at its highest point since then, edging ever closer to that point. Crossfire and its community is very much epitomise taking matters into your own hands and to that we should all be proud.
By rights we should all be dead. Our games are old, our hair is grey and yet not only are we not dead, we're actually growing. The recent Battle for Berlin 2 tournament and the upcoming Adroits ET Masters prove that with a little hardwork the gaming world can be your oyster.
For many years I had been saying if you don't like something in your community, do something about it. Amazingly I don't think I've said that in a long time now - people did something about it. Changes in formats, tournaments, anticheats and more brought the game and its community to where it is now.
Where is it now? Now it is a state where those who don't play, watch, read, interact. Those who don't play football might still watch, read and talk about the Champions League final tomorrow. That is a state of sustainability and stability.
To the nay sayers I say nay. To the rest of you I say, congratulations.

To be fair library is the best map introduced in ages, erdenberg is decent, but nothing more than a pub map. :p
Someone has to find it and put it into competition, I promise people will like it (especially the spring version)
Note: Mines have to be limited on it.
There's your answer
some people dont like to play them a thousand times and prefer to play new map because it just gets boring
Crossfire activity just doens't stand for ET activity anymore as the majority has moved on to boring strategy games. Nay to this 'column'.
Mind you we have only had a small few so far but, that small few is growing with every draft cup!
Some of the old hats might bitch and moan at each other from time to time, however they are all in support of new players getting involved and seeing them improve.
From perspective as an Administrator, finally asking community members like
It also reminds you that if you have an idea and want to see it come to light, you don't have to kid yourself into thinking no one will support you. "Anyone with an idea is a crackpot until they are proven true" (the line goes something like that!).
zeroE'TV want to stream Adroits Lan Event, and they did not allow us to stream. I feel like Communism is omw.
I meant, that stream will help community, but as far as I can see, nobody wants us to stream matches...
Say smth about growing up.
Also, he said that you told him he can broadcast everything from gtv because he is an official broadcaster and that it didn't matter if I agreed with that or not, it wasn't up to me! :D
whenever i announce something for rtcw, i also try to get promo videos & livestreams available to just get a few extra sign-ups, and it works.
edit: Tosspot, can we see some graphs of CF activity from recent months, years?
but sure, I like the efforts to keep it somewhat alive
Look at this : http://splatterladder.com/?mod=statistic About 1 000 servers and 5 000 active players.
Back in 2007-2008 there were 3 000 servers and 30 000 active players.
However it is still fun to play on pubs and i will keep playing this game till pubs are dead
tbh the fact that so many people still play ET with all of the recent addictive games (amazing gfx shooters, sc2, diablo3, LoL etc) I think you should be more amazed than anything. most games are 100% dead after 9 years but ET still has more than 100,000 players.
off to see the queen parade on the crossfire yacht tata
