SD are GODS among game developers !!!

I am completely blown away by ET. The proof is at gamespy stats page, looks like ET is dominating other retail games w/ a fraction the number of servers running. If we could get more servers running, I think we would see an exponential grwoth in player numbers.

SD has done a tremendous job and created a great product. I only hope that they create even more maps of great quality.

I was reviewing the Gamespy stats page and noticed that the number of players per server is much higher for ET than other games. I calculated out the top eleven games (in order of number of players playing)…

Halflife… 3.00
BF1942… 3.59
W:ET… 8.01 <==== w00t!
MoH:AA… 2.87
UT2K3… 2.05
Q3A… 1.43
NN… 3.81
AA… 4.98
UT… 1.23
MoH:AAS… 4.81
RtCW… 1.87 <==== dropped all the way to 11th place. ack!

ET servers, on average, have more than twice as many players per server than most of the other games. Anyone care to interpret…?

well for one, you need a reasonable number of people playing vs. a game like quake where you can do just fine running 1 v 1. Secondly, because you need more people to play, I think it eliminates a lot of the home-cable servers which just cannot host enough people to play a decent game

Props to the guys for allowing me to take BF1942 off my system for awhile.

This buds for you! :beer:

(and one for me) :beer:

One major factor is that the game is free! Which is good great for sure.

But I have been playing RTCW for 18 months since the demo first came out.

In my opinion only my opinion RTCW is much more of a better game taking nothing away from ET as it is a fine game. But at the moment the games involve a big free for all people not working together, but this was the same in RTCW quite some time.

But for the present time im staying with RTCW I know that I can just drop by to Jolt3 and all the players know what they are doing and work well (most of the time) together.

But with ET as it is new then its more people exploring and finding out what can be done etc. I have only played ET a few times and find it no challange realy to get to the highest rank etc, their is no challange no intimidating players or groups of players to worry about.

Im not the greatest player in the world by all means. But when its a big free for all its very boring, but im sure this will change in the months ahead
