Hi,
I used to play this game competitively (coming from Counter Strike) but I left due to the fact that, the player levels were dwindling, especially on the public/casual scene.
I would love to come back, as SM Elite is one of the best games I have played, it's much better than Cod/BF/CS:GO imo, atleast competitively.
Anyway, my questions:
1) Will you be adding the mini-jump back in to Beta 3, and forcing the new settings? I think beta 3 has been out long enough for you to remove Beta 2 settings from the menu, but I also miss the mini-jump
2) Will you be going Free to Play to increase the casual playerbase? or do you have any other ideas to drastically increase the reach of this game?
3) Will there be another $100'000 event soon? and will you continue to try get SM picked up by leagues such as the ESL, ESWC and WCG (If they even still support PC games) etc?
4) I also completely hate the new maps that keep getting added to the low-skilled/level matchmaking system. Often this is the only place that has players on, but If I play there, I am forced to play the worst maps I have ever seen in my life. It is almost as if the person designing the maps has never played the game (No offence intended). Would you be considering taking on community members like id, wabbitface, kryW and others that have made successful competitive maps, and working with them to create better maps for the future? Most of the pros should be able to tell, after a few minutes glance, if a map is going to be a fun competitive and balance map (Ish).
I really hope this game get's huge as, CS:GO is a joke to me (I don't understand why anyone plays it, it's literally one of the worst shooters I've played) and my beloved 1.6 is dead
Dota2 tries, but I'm much more of an FPS player, and I miss killing people.
