It's been forever since I've come around here -- played a couple matches earlier today, and remembered why I enjoyed AC in the first place.
The speed of the game in comparison to so many others (ugh, CS), the simplicity of the gameplay coupled with a few nifty movement mechanics that are easy to learn but are hard to use 100% effectively in all match situations (some skill, but not too little to degrade interest, and not too much to drive off newcomers and casuals from having lots of fun), the active pub and clan/pickup community, and the fact that it looks decent and can run on virtually any machine.
So, why do you play AC?
Note that I also enjoy Urban Terror a LOT, I go as CaptainAhab there as well (captainahab on the forums though, I think). Once UrT HD comes out, I'd be more than happy to play there with some of you if you like. :3
