That is indeed the sad truth. There will be a day where NOBODY will play it. The only way I'd see of making this delayed is by illegally remaking SWBF to the latest technology with a lot of advertising to get it ahead of EA. But of course the developers would be enjoying their punishment for copyright before that could possibly happen. I think when Phobos' TWD mod begins releasing to the public it'll help keep a few people coming back to see more but when it's ended things will probably die down again. Hell, it's 12 years old, it's had a long lifespan to still be this active.

When I said it was doomed to die, I was really only thinking about Multiplayer. I have a feeling Gamemaster won't be staying up forever, either. I don't know enough about the deal with that, but will the owner shut it off if usage continues to drop?

Gamemaster also has the support of other games, so  I think it will be a long while.  Additionally, the source code is released, so we can potentially make our own if we needed. 

A game this old doesn't really get new players, but this website will continue as long as I do, which I hope is still a good number of years

Led, i will believe every second of that, and I will be impressed when it happens.

I'm actually really glad to see that we can work something out about this situation. I myself don't play SWBF much since I came back, but it's joy to me when I see this community able to come together and have a fun match.

I love elder scrolls games so I might be trying the Daggerfall game, soon...

Unless the company is just big enough to be able to push these games out and not rush them...

DICE and EA are already working on Battlefield 1, which is the new World War I installment of that franchise. Trailers just released, early alpha gameplay was given to select few, and they are even advertising open beta already. The last Battlefield game came out in 2013.

I feel as if though this new SWBF2 comes out in 2017, it could be very rushed and have a poor launch start. However, I'm sure they'll fix it over time. (Battlefield 4 in a nutshell)

Maybe the DICE and EA's part with them IS big enough to be regularly pumping out games year after year? I've been following them since Battlefield 3 and I'm just not too sure about a second SWBF from them yet.

That could be done easily by anyone.

Let's see it

Just felt like bumping this idea. I don't particularly recall a whole lot of playtime (especially not with me involved )
I got a new computer on Black Friday last year so I can finally enjoy these games without much of any problems at all.

If anyone is still down for this and I may not have you added on Steam, be sure to click the logo under my avatar

There was in fact a lot last year in ICW5.

I guess there's another question to that, however. People who don't see others in-game and don't play, how long are they going to keep checking on the website for tournament updates? Them how long are they going to hang around at all if nothing is going on?
In my opinion, SWBF is dead. But that's not the word I wanted to use...

And if it's not dead, it is doomed to die.

Welcome to SWBFGamers.com, Ghostie!
We're more of a community, and we have our individual clans inside and outside of this site.

Kelle regularly visits http://www.swbf1alphaclan.webs.com/ , so you could try there.

It feels the same way in Battlefield 4! haha

would be a good time for me to practice animation... that's what it is, right? we are talking about the way it's animated when it turns? I'm going to college to learn animation, in the fall...

Or are we talking about something more mechanical?

Just wanted to bring it to somebody's attention... I think this idea fell through and if anyone is paying to host http://www.thesyndicate.swbfgamers.com/, then you might want to reconsider.

I just realized it is under the same domain, hence this edit. I don't know how everything is covered, but just thought I would bring it to attention.
