"Also, a game like AC, an open source game made and played without paying anything for it, must not change so drastically! Why is that every new version of AC must be a new game?"
It's actually the same game i.e. notice how all versions have the name AssaultCube?
"It is not COD which MUST bring something COMPLETELY NEW with each NEW GAME they release because it is made for attracting more players to earn more money!"
First off you are right. It IS NOT Call of Duty. People pay to play COD and therefore demand new versions because of the money they put into it. We on the other hand are happy to accept what is given to us, and even happier to be have our input discussed and taken into consideration.
"Since when did AC become a paid-to-play game that it has the luxury of having so many "revolutions" in its game play? Maybe dev's are not quite sure about the game? Too many opinions? What is it? When will we, finally, have a stable AC version?"
Umm... we've had a stable version of the game for the past year? Roughly? So many revolutions? There has been one, repeat, ONE, since 1.0. It's called 1.1. Stable gets old, stable gets boring, especially in gaming. People want new versions, they want change. It's up to us to see that it is done in the best way possible, with the least damage to the structures of the old versions that are the heart of AC.
"When will we stop introducing new changes to the game play? You really cannot blame people for resisting against changes if every version was something new with new features and a new game play. Who wants a game that is so chaotic? Seriously..."
I'd actually like 2 nades per pickup, but that's just me. I understand where you're coming from and why you're fighting this the way you are. You've gotten used to 1.0.4. You love the weapons, the way it's played, the style, and the atmosphere of ownage. That's cool. I felt the same way in .93 where I'd lay waste to shimmies with a no-recoil SMG and all the maps were unclipped, which opened up lovely hidey spots, and so I fought. I fought tooth and nail and it got me nowhere. NOWHERE. The version, your 1.0, still came out, everyone played, and the rest is history. As for chaos... Chaos breeds winners. While I'd love to go back to .93 I know I can't. While you'd love to go back to 1.0, you can't. The majority of the ACers around have already switched to 1.1. Sure they may not like it, they may prefer other versions, but it is a move they have made not so much for the game but for the friends and the shimmies that have gone along also. If you play 1.0.4 that's fine, but any sense of actual atmosphere is slowly inexorably drifting away from it. You should either except the inevitable Neo, or change. There will likely come a time when hardly anyone plays 1.0.4. What will you do then? Play with your clan mates? While the devs host a masterserver just for you guys? I don't know what the future holds for me or |KH| but I do know that 1.1 is where we'll be.
