You know, on most other Wikis I have been, people just didn't talk to each other. There were occasional messages to ask about something or to tell someone that he did something wrong... but there was no real discussion or socializing like the one we have here. That makes it even more valuable :)

The Wiki isn't entirely dormant - there have been some pretty good new additions in the Q3 and Q4 articles. And the guys seem to really know their stuff, so I hope they will add even more in the future.

It will definitely be nice to have more people around here, especially if they have good knowledge in different areas. Even with all the stuff that is still missing, this Wiki is an excellent resource, and it can only get better and better... until it is perfect :)

When people ask me why I prefer older games, one of my usual responses is that "they actually let you play." Modern war games, on the other hand, are more like interactive movies - you participate in the action but you don't really make any choices. You are stuck in a predetermined role following a predetermined path... and that's it.

But the problem isn't only in the games - it is also this modern type of fan community, which is pretty immature. Ego and bravado have become more important than enjoying and mastering the game. The community spirit is nearly gone... What is more, many players have lost their taste for challenge - Death's story about the guy who played Unreal is a very good example for this.
