Recent movement of late on servers both through Gamespy & The Eye suggest a real shift in the core group of players since the original release of the product in the UK & US.
As has been mentioned on other forums MOH takeup is huge.
I guess you shouldnt worry about it cause it really is outta BIS's hands, people will vote with their feet...
MODS & Maps keep games alive...the tools are essential... Just look at the Close Combat Series...still going strong...
I think that the eventual release of a couple of the core mods, Nam & 1944 will keep the momentum and probably bring back players that actually expected quicker results and have "itchy" feet...I have moved to MOH as well as OFP just to satisfy my thirst for WW2.
