As the article says, CoD4 admins from the ESL have been talking to the promod developer to give our input as we are of course interested in using the mod in our competitions. According to one of our senior CoD4 admins who have been involved in the talks, we have however not demanded a halt to the mod's progress, or demanded C4, claymores or the grenade launcher be reintroduced nor would we boycott the mod. We have asked for the ability to add our own rule files (i.e. for other gametypes), but we understand the primary goal of the mod is to be ready for the upcoming LANs. We believe the discussions so far have been good and look forward to being able to the use the mod in our competitions. Of course at the end of the day, it is up to the community what mod or rules are used.

So with some light coming through the dark the same eager anticipation remains about the mods release. The mod promises more features than the CoD series has seen before and is widely expected to be adopted for most major events.
