Yeah it’s always possible to make a better experience but it’s easier to do when your vision is clear and you can focus on it.
Success can easily blind you.

So it’s usually easier to turn your head away from it.

the best thing about Soldat is that it’s free and it runs on any computer . i rember telling all my friends about it, and playing it in high school after class with them. i used to make a server and we played a dm with 6-8 ppl. good times. then the next day we all talked, ‘wow that was awesome how i owned u with that knife’, ‘oow ur just lucky fag’ etc..same thing was with Enemy Territory, but it was a bit more problematic to get an empty server only for us. same was in junior high when broadband wasn’t so accessible, we used to go to an internet cafe and play soldier of fortune 2 mp demo on lan. it was the best. the best times with an online game i ever had. then we tried to play any online game that was free and easy to run,mohaa demo, q3:a, some 3d bubble skirmish and other shitty stuff – but it was all uber fun when we played it together. I think that point is that no matter what you play and how it looks you’ll always gonna love it and have fun as long as you play it with actual ppl you know. Soldat was just lucky enough to be pretty much the best among other free skirmish online games.

There are better games. you can make a better experience. Now for 3 years straight im enjoying call of duty 4, world at war and mw2. i’ve spent my money on them, i never registered soldat (i guess u dont consider me as ur friend any more ;p), i ve been playing soldat offline in junior high, online in high school for 1,5 years (a lot). i sometimes move back to soldat when i don’t feel like playing anything else – it’s not the same. the ppl i played with for hours (i only play on realistic) are gone, the good times for soldat are over imo. sure there are ppl playing but somehow it’s not the same.. sometimes it’s unplayable, i don’t know what happened to it.. anyway i think that this shows that u shouldn’t look at soldat as a one and only definitive experience that can’t be topped by anything else – it already was, many times. sometimes i think that you just don’t have a specific vision. open your fucking eyes. 😉
