After that lame thread posted by my bestest bud Shin Tard, I just thought that it might be nice for those of us who DO appreciate and enjoy the mod to maybe speak up a little and give the team some props. So post here if you're glad they give us ESF.

I for one have had few if any complaints. My rep for complaining about cheesy play is one thing...but exploits, even at their worst, were barely even a factor, and I'll freely admit that.

So anybody else who feels like giving the team some props can do it here.

Glad to see a positive thread after seeing that whiny one that SSJ Shin Carl/Legend created. Like I said in there, enough cannot be said for all the work that the team has put into developing this game. I myself know how hard it is to run a mod and maintain a dedicated team, and ESF has released so many versions so far - hats off to Masta, harS, joe and everyone else on the team (past and present).

This mod is amazing, in my opinion it easily equals cs, and its graphics are incredible for the HL engine. The team has obviously worked their hardest on this mod and you don’t even get paid >_<

This mod is one of the best and 1.3 will just push it to the top.

Congrats on the great job!

Congratulations on making the best HL1 mod EVER, better than CS, better than DoD, better than The Specialists, it's the only thing on the original engine that survived the onslaught of HL2. There's a good level of professionality in the team, i'm sure if you go on to do something in software you'll do well for yourselves. Good job!

Also, I want to give some props to the moderators, partially for doing such a good job at...moderating, and partially for banning ShinCarl, which I feel is long overdue, give yourselves a pat on the back as well :yes:

Even though I don't play ESF anymore these days, it's obvious even for me why ESF stands head and shoulders above other mods in the HL community.

Rock on, guys!

Only the fact they made this kind of mod in their free time is amazing. Its a lot better than retail games.
As for people being a**es, i bet they never made a mod ( i havent either bit thats beside the point :p )

*Insert ESF praise here*

Esf, Played it since Alpha 1.8!! :D Woot! what a great time!
but well, I can only give my good opinion that ESF has really pushed the HL engine to the limit.. and when 1,3 is coming. They will push it even further out!. The only good mod I can see besides ESF is NS!
So yeah! Rock on guys!.

The ESF team knows they made a great game, why else would so many people be here, loyal to the community and project?

You've always got your rotten apples in any given bunch. Don't think that's all there is, even if they try to make it sound that way.

Even though 1.2 isn't as good as I hoped it would be, this still holds true.

1.2 ESF is also one of my favorite games. Actually It's one of the only games that I've played for so long. I think the team does a great job, and I've always appreciated the work they've done. I also never expected joe or the rest of the team to bend over backwards for any of us, i think the vast majority of us know that the team is probably dying to move onto something else. Making a mod does take a lot of time, and i think we're mature enough to accept that the team may want to spend more time with their own lives. Though, I am greatful for their dedication to the community to continue the mod as they have. Great job ESF team thank you for an awesome game.

1.0/1.1 were just amazing to me. 1.2.x i dont like as much but still are fun to play. I really dont think the esf teams gets enough "props" for doing what they have done and continue to do in there free time. Good works guys I really hope this time pays off in your futures.

I've made a couple of these thread in this past. I don't know of it was me, or just the timing, but they never really became active.

Anyways, as I have stated before, PcJoe and Harsens' craft is something I find myself unable to ignore. The modellers/skinners, mappers, animation/sprite artists, and anyone else who put time and effort into this mod, have done admirable work, and I will continue to support and applaud each and every one of them. I've been around here for 2 years now, and with good reason...

ESF is a top notch mod, and will continue to be, as long as the ESF team sees fit.
