I can see why it is important to them. So many freakin' people still play it. (Me included on occasion!)
I think the best they can really do is just to continue supporting it. By the by, I've not had much notice of it anymore: did Dynamic Weapon pricing j ust go away or have my private servers I've been playing on firmly kept it turned off? |

The peoples CS follow up is already widely available - it's called CoD 4.

Counter-Strike is awesome, and I doubt very much if the sequel will ever manage to be quite as popular, so they can't drop support.
It would be amazing if Valve could come up with a sequel as influential and addictive as CS, but games like that only come around very rarely, and CS has already been around for 8 or 9 years without being beaten yet. CoD 4 and TF2 are great games, but neither are "the new Counter-Strike", and won't ever pick up the kind of enduring following that CS did/does, IMO.

Although if they could put CS Italy into COD4 i would be very happy.
CS: Source is great, you feel more achievement when you kill people on CS than on any other game. |

Half-Life1 (source) CS (source/redux) All in one box. That would be very nice. |

CS/CSS was never a pinnacle of excellence, it's simply the meeting of accessibility and realism. I for one would welcome any amount of quite small but significant changes. Dynamic weapon pricing was an interesting idea and it could have gotten quite interesting if it had been made slightly more configurable (e.g. max/min prices per server). However most CS players are ultraconservative when it comes to making changes to "their game" so I doubt I'll ever see anything like clip-based reloading, size of weapon affecting mouse sensitivity, configurable weapons, iron sights, prone, leaning or any of the many other things that other games do better.

From where I sit, the fast pace IS the problem; I like to be careful and cautious when I play that kind of game, and be rewarded for it, but if I try to play CS like that I always get nailed by someone in a way I cannot hope to emulate, since they have obviously spent hundreds of hours honing movement techniques to the millisecond and learning the maps to the pixel. But then, because I got sick of that, I never play online any more, while those that do obviously like it the way it is. I suppose basically I like the idea of CS better than the execution.
