    People are not that much into FPS nowadays… or so I’ve gathered. Plus it’s a really fast reaction game, people aren’t used to that. You have to be really really fast.

    Maybe I’m wrong, IDK, I haven’t played it in a while, or the original QIII Arena, but back in the day, finding players online for it was a problem as well. It was just too fast for most people.

      oh yeah that’s true… not many people i’ve seen today really play fps games much anymore, though meanwhile i’m over here playing half life deathmatch or cs 1.6/cs source servers (those games still have alive servers somehow), honestly i kinda wonder if fps games will be as popular as it was back then

        I doubt it, but we’ll see.

        People are into stories now, some FPS games have good stories, but not all. It’s mostly RPG nowadays that takes a huge slice of the cake. Plus a lot of play on their phones, and you can’t really play FPS games on a phone, a mouse and a keyboard is absolutely necessary for that.
