Seems there are a few people here besides Semp with their heads in the sand. Numbers decline and all they have to say is "Game is fine the way it is, we're all still having fun."

Don't know where you get all your info about people leaving, seeing how you have only been here a year. I guess your the expert and one else knows anything. Game is fine the way it is and I for one am having fun. I guess your one of them think that we all want 1vs1 combat. If that's what your looking for guess it's time for you to be part of the "decline in numbers". The door is way open, cya have fun playing Xbox :P

simple info, available to anyone but still probably out of your capacities: the total # of ranked players used to be over 5000, last tour it was 1900. I guess playing alone doesn't matter much when your goal is to destroy inanimated objects.

Small correction: It was higher than 1900. Just for example see my (and everybody else) "captures in attack mode" rank which shows #2292 (and there is quite a sizeable number of players which didn't fly attack mode at all - it's the least used of all modes as well).
Of course that unfortunately doesn't change the fact of a considerable reduction of player numbers over the past ~6 years.

The world economy reduced many peoples disposable income starting about 6 years ago. It will get better, or Hitech wouldn't be bothering with the new terrain engine. As a business owner he is vested in knowing something about future trends in the economy. His continued development of his game shows he is positive about the future and willing to invest in it.

I've noticed over the years many gamers are of a personality type that feeds on emotions out of context to reality. Or they wouldn't be addicted to the feedback from risking their ego against live players shooting back.

Right now there is a premium on enough players to feed their addiction, ergo, the sky must be falling. Then the emotional agreement from other gamers like themselves becomes their fix. Doom on you, Doom on you!! Even if it's all negative emotional feedback, their fix is being filled by the mutual doom fest.

Personally I've invested in this game's future today. My 10 year old TrackIR 3D Pro died yesterday. I just spent $144.00 and ordered a TrackIR 5 Pro.

Either that or he's a stubborn SOB and doesn't want to give up on his game that he has built 3 times.

I don't think anyone wants the game to fail. The trends just seem to be pointing in that direction. They are so many things pointing declining numbers. Show me one thing that points to the game on the rise.

I bought a car, it doesn't mean I have faith in the auto industry, it just means I need a car.

In the last 6 months I bought a 39 inch 1080p tv as a monitor and built a new computer that I put $1200 into, and this is the only game I play. I have "hope" that this game will continue and I "hope" this game will increase it's player base. I have built training tutorials to help new players learn about different things in this game that are posted on the trainers page. If I had the time I would build skins and maps for this game.

Does any of this sound like a guy who doesn't care about how this game does?

nope, i didnt need the 600 dollar monitor to replace 3 23inch monitors.  nor did I need a 400 video card to replace a couple of good vc's that max the game almost to the limit.  I spent the money because I trust that hitech is doing the right thing and this game isnt going away anytime soon. 

you dont sound like a guy who desnt care, but more like a guy who wants to continuously whine about the game.
