As time goes by I'm becoming more and more concerned with the amount of people we will get regardless of how good or bad the game will turn out. Back then HL mods were pretty hot sh!t, we actually had lots of full server, remember that? ahh.. All the hot stuff from back then has faint pulse, the hl2 stuff is almost the same, even hl unreleated games that have huge marketing stuff, get lots of players at first but within a month its all gone. Good games, I mean really good games from indie companies sometimes just... vanish because no one even tries them... We will get some players, people that ate, slept, shat and drunk only esf back in the day. Id like to go on with my terrible predictions but..
Tl;dr version - I'm paranoid as a player that even if the game is good ( and considering I will like the game ) , I will not be satisfied by the amount of players there will be... leaving me with 8 empty server on the server list within months after the release...
As the people who will try it will be only past hard core players, and some young hippies who will give this stone age game mod a try.
