So yeah, you CLEARLY read that post wrong.

Also, there are exceptions to the ghost town rule, but they're rather few. For example, MW2 still has people playing because people are pissed that there's no quick scoping in black ops(well, there is, but it's a lot different) and are trying to make a stand against 3arc over it.

On the other hand, look at CS1.6.. STILL highly populated. Look at Quake 3, STILL heavily populated.... PC games live long lives, but most console titles get passed on when the next title shows up. Want proof? Go to any general gaming web forum and see how many people ask if they should trade in last month's hot game for this month's at gamestop. Ask the guy behind the counter at gamestop how many people traded in halo reach for black ops, you'll know what I mean.
Well to be honest, you sure fulled me with the other post - based on what you're saying now, you should have been the one saying what I did...

Do you know who's playing those game?

CS 1.6 - played by some who found this game in a net club (for example), learned how to play it and this end-up being "the only game they play" and mostly played by kids with low budged systems, this being one of the best shooters it could run on their rig and lastly, played by those who invested a lot of time in this game, so much that it defines them. This are not hardcore PC gamers - but hardcore "CS 1.6" players (I've also been part of their community - played CS since the early betas, when CS was just a mod for half life -> till v1.6 ...).

Quake 2/3 and UT3 - are still popular cause there aren't many alternatives out there - they did released Quake 4 (you know?) but "WHAT THE F. IS THIS P. of S."!?" - was the main reaction of Quake 2/3 players... and can't blame them (use to be a hardcore Quake 2 player myself).

Yet, how come you're not aware of Tekken being the equivalent of Quake on PS?!

- Do you know that some bought PS3 mainly for this game?

...and let's not forget MK, S.F. and KoF.

Just out of curiosity - on console communities do you cast the shadow on PC gamers? Cause here, you did exactly the opposite...

=============

Not a hardcore player of any of those titles anymore - but also, didn't got blinded by PC vs Consoles war... This hate is present on many forums... I've seen many PC gamers with 2000$ - 3000$ rigs, who play mostly pirated games - and blame consoles cause gaming got more terrain under Consoles. Which is obviously - "not their fault for not supporting gaming market under PC" - yet, they afford to... and we also have a large group of PC users who simply don't afford spending money on games... It's also the Devs fault - more than 50% of it and mostly greed related... but the hate towards consoles it's mostly inappropriate... like that which comes from PC owners who think to high of themselves and PC games - even think they're intellectual for being capable of playing games on a PC (saying things like: "console users are so stupid they can't press more than 8 buttons").
