It's kind of sad to see how this nice little community has turned into a place full of hate and nonsense...
Some guys in here are treating the game like it was a fucked up beta piece of crap filled with more bugs than functions and not at all playable. What's the problem actually? Yes, I'm looking forward to 1.2 going live myself, but if it takes another 6 months so be it. If the current version was such a pain, how you ever happened to get involved enough to even complain about it in here? That doesn't make any sense. By the way, anyone who's claiming to be around since 0.93 should know better.
I see those pro-players complaining the game was no more competitive, especially the public servers were nothing but a playground for noobs and newbies. At the same time the same guys tell they do not play pubs at all. Well, do I even have to explain what's wrong here?
...and the neverending map discussion. Honestly guys, you've got one of the easiest to use built-in-mapeditors, a rather simple to manage server and loads of maps out there already. Pretty much anything it needs to fill those servers with a great varity of maps.
In my opinion this used to work way better back with 0.93, even though you were able to play at different map-versions. Seems like the general acceptance to 'unknown' maps has terribly decreased for whatever reasons. In fact, the best way to empty a server today is to load up a decent custom map.
As far as I'm aware, quite some time ago now, MeatRome and makkE have even considered to completey leave the map-topic to the community (hint: cmp) and stop adding maps to the official list in first place. Unfortunatelly, this would require a community which isn't too busy spamming a forum instead of getting some things done themselves.
However, I guess the situation is just lost and we can only hope there will always be some devs left, willing to spend their spare time on keeping this great game up and running.
