Hello dear readers.
I'm going to talk about everything related to competitive mode in CS2D, let's get started with something that everyone wanted to be implemented in CS2D, "Competitive Mode".
-Competitive mode could've saved this game and wake it up atleast to 100-150 active players daily.
-Instead of adding 3D graphics, HD skins, other stuff, you could've worked for competitive mode, I can bet some of the members here had something from everything that was needed for competitive mode.
-Quattro and MadMax kept the old active players in, but this wasn't enough because it was too late.
-CS2D in steam was a good idea, but just classic as always, they didn't see something interesting in this game just some public casual servers, Quattro's servers weren't there so, most of the new players goes inactive.
-This mode was the last chance to keep this game still alive.
-RolePlay Owners are struggling to get 10-15 players and make the servers more enjoyable, but this can't continue forever, I think PCS Project asked unrealsoftware for a promotion with their competitive servers, but no thank you for their work.
-You and Simon tried to make competitive mode, but you failed, PCS guys also tried to give you a hand, but nothing.
-"Really good job with rejecting them".
-Thank you for this game DC, this game had the potential when you added it in steam, now it's too late.
-Thank you for reading this.

What's the point of this thread? Do you want to declare the death of CS2D? We have exactly the same topic every few weeks/months. For years already. It doesn't help. If you like the game play and support it. If you don't like it anymore just stop playing. Simple thing

Also a small correction of what you summarized: I personally never tried to make a "competitive" mode on my own. I never played competitive in Counter-Strike. This is why I don't even know what such a mode would look like and that's also why I would not be able to implement such a mode in a good way.

user SQ worked on a competitive mode alone(?). As far as I know he reached out to the community for some support but didn't get that support which demotivated him so much that he dropped the competitive mode.

BUT both of these facts are not relevant because the ACTUAL DIFFICULTY for all that competitive stuff is not the implementation. The real problem is to keep it running. You need servers and you need to observe and moderate them 24/7 because otherwise cheaters and script kiddies will instantly ruin that vague dream of a "competitive mode". This is a thing which is simply not realistic (for an entirely free hobby project game without paid staff like CS2D) and therefore most certainly won't ever happen.

So even with a working competitive mode implementation we still wouldn't have a working competitive mode.

Oh and the game is called CS2D.

The only "competitive" way I can see working is having a server that's hosted by US and moderated by a new role in the site that'll be given to whoever moderates that server.
Winning 5 matches in a row will allow you to join the next server like a division and so on.

Just a vague idea but I don't think that'll ever happen nor is it necessary.

I'm also fairly certain that with enough motivation a person can do that on his own, without the help of US.
Though your rank in that server will be less appreciated.

what is the point of that thread ? CS2D is still pretty nice game with amazing servers like fws/irantown..etc

Irantown was never and will never be a good server or anything good this community has seen. It's like the dirtiest area of a city where only those poor people live that steal and yell at each other or drink alcohol all day and dont like to work.

Servers like IRANTOWN is what keeps CS2D alive.
But, in a bad way. With that server being at the top as always, pretty sure other (good) servers cannot be seen since nobody plays them. I was stricken to this situation like one and a half year ago, thanks to IRAN-fucking-TOWN.

@user kerker: We're not arguing how idiotical that server is anyway. This is only the fact that IRANTOWN is, unfortunately, being played by many so it somehow keeps the game "alive".

CS2D has a decent competitive mode already and free servers hosted by GamersCentral.de

It's just that DC has no idea how to make the game more popular and instead of accepting ideas he rejects them with silly arguments. Try to tell that competitive mode can not exist to CSGO community running million+ prize tournaments on regular basis. Tell that to hearthstone or other ridiculous games which truly aren't competitive nor deep, yet somehow millions play them and imagine that they play the most competitive games ever

In short: You either have motivation to work on the game or not. And in CS2D case - no one does anymore.

each player has his favourite server if you dont like irantown dont fucking reply for it and call it suck and you compare irantown with these dead mods how is that possible ?

@user _3yrus: Nobody from the development side said it's dead. I plan to release at least one more update this year. I don't want to focus on a single project all my lifetime though which is why I currently focus on other projects.

There are no plans to release the source code anytime soon.
Also keep in mind that a very old version of CS2D is already open source. So if someone is interested in making a comparable game he can take a look at that.
