that part stood out. not entirly correct. Many games have gotten multiplayer right. Quake, UT, Battlefield....

the difference is the sheer number of people. more people that are there, more mods are made to keep it alive, which draws in more people. once you get that cycle going, one of the few and only ways to break it is to bring in the sequal which often snaps the community into 2. oens who like the new sequal better, and one who dont.

Thats one of UT's main problems right now. UT04 was a great game, but theres many stubbern people who refuse to switch from the original UT, which cuts the amount of people in half. meaning less mods, and when a mod does come out, less people to play and keep it running.

and that and 80% of the 70,000 playing HL are playing the CS mod. it would be interesting to see what woulda happened to HL without that mod.
