Yes, there's been a lot of contact with players from the world's top professional CS teams, including EG and Fnatic. Their reactions have been very encouraging, and we're hoping that after we tweak the game some more, those players will be willing to come out publicly and support the game. I've heard people type in forums that they read that Player X and Player Y said they wouldn't leave CS 1.6 no matter what - well, the top players I've talked to haven't said anything like that at all. And the players that have allegedly said they won't leave 1.6 haven't played Promod yet.

I hope that the players who have privately given us praise on the game will soon come forward and act as leaders in helping their community and fan base to progress onward.Huruvida han ångrar releasen av den första betan eller inte, säger han så här:

I absolutely regret the release of the original beta, the bugs that were unexpectedly in it, all of the hype surrounding, and I take full responsibility for all of those. I've apologized for all of that on multiple occasions, and I'll happily say again here that I'm sorry.

In terms of the project's reputation, there's no way that it hasn't harmed us - it's very hard to wash off that kind of association with the project's name. But I hope that the fact that we've continued to work hard, and I've continued to put in lots of my time, despite the massive amounts of flaming and criticism, will be enough to get people to try out Beta 1.04. And I think that if they try out Beta 1.04, the game itself will win people over.

Och om det finns någon tanke på att skapa fler banor specialdesignade för tävlingsspel:

Yes. Head Mapper Ted "Cashed" McIlwain and Art Director Ludovic "alba" Slangen are working on this as we speak.
