Believe me man, I've been petitioning non stop for them to make the mod ****tier. I don't know why, but they refuse. I've come up with quite a few ways that the game can be ruined without much effort. For instance, I'd like to see an attack that kills everyone in the server when the attack is launched. It'll charge up instantly and use no energy. And on rare occasions, it'll kill players on other servers, too. They banned me from creating threads in the suggestion forum and beta section forum, but I'm glad to see that I at least have one supporter.
At the very least they need to stop updating the front page showcasing good graphics. People's expectations are too high, we must lower them. Perhaps not updating for six months, then posting an update on the front page saying that the front page will have a huge media blitz in one week might be a good plan of attack? One week later, they can showcase the worst models, maps, sprites, and effects imaginable. I'm talking about worse then esf_mountain quality stuff (

Anyway, I'm rambling on now. So how about those water shaders huh?
