Popularity issue persisting after 0.5 release

#41
Actually from a competitive players point of view, I can understand the lack of challenge in some respects.

Comparatively to other games like Quake, our game is actually much easier. The movement requires much less of a learning curve to move around quickly, the map control is less restricting, and even the weapons to some extent are easier.... although they're more dynamic and unique, they are designed to not be totally restricting (e.g. with refire times and such) unlike in Quake where for example weapon combos are penalized by the refire time.

Yes, most casual players miss the deep aspects of the gameplay.. but competitive players from other games some times find that those deep aspects aren't deep enough for their taste. I think the default balance I designed currently tries to please the casual gamers AND slightly/moderately competitive players, and it pulls this off perfectly... The REALLY highly competitive players though? ... those players want more of a challenge.
