so you expect casuals to play a game even target audience didnt play? i see big resources of pure logic in you. stomp from q3only fegets resulted in death of entire game, because of no competition part that would glue the casual community. just after the start of game servers were quite populated, but obviously it did not last long without anything to interest casuals.
If it was a good game it wouldn't have been abandoned so quickly. I gave it a try, it was ok for a couple days at best but really it was the most dumbed down arena shooter you could imagine.
