Game going FREE TO PLAY would be the only thing that might revive it.

On that note, I don't think the Devs want it revived. They want to make My-Little-Pony mobile games instead. Anything as far away from Guns and war as possible.

A lot of people seem to want things to grind for these days in games. Be it a higher ranking or cosmetics/skins etc. Instead of actually just playing the game and enjoying it for what it is.

This leads to worse gameplay in new games as that itself doesnt get as much time put into. (When its more important to give the materialistic minded people their useless pixels, that often only add visual clutter.)

NS1 was great and it had no ranks. NS2 was good too without ranks. Probably wouldnt work anymore though.

Only way to revive would be with big changes in balancing the game. e.g. smaller aliens, faster aliens, faster movement for marines, weapon changes. The game is very different to play now as it was before, when everyone has 2-5 times higher fps than 10 years ago.

Playability will never be great until the population is large enough to not have 100, 200 or even over 300ping players on the same server. Hit reg is also very bad in most servers ever since the server owners manually changed the rates and that breaks it. Most people are too slow to notice this, due to nutrition.

Blame the devs adding nonsense content instead of new maps or new characters.

That's the spirit! Make sure to blame a nebulous concept created by nazis instead of actual decisions made by the devs! Good job, keeping the community small and spiteful :p
