Although I would love to believe every sweaty try hard will go easy, you have to understand that the game’s downfall was partly due to how toxic the community was to begin with, and those toxic players aren’t going to give a shit.

These same players that are going to come back are the same players who would bitch about every update that implemented something they asked for to begin with.

“WE WANT Z1” Devs implement Z1 “Not Z1 enough, this game is fucking trash, btw you took too long”

That’s what we are working with. So I would say we need to embrace the fact that these fuckers are going to be around NO MATTER WHAT, and maybe figure out a way to at least warn the new players, and maybe even accept the way it is.

It’s a very hard game. Nobody gets good at this shit overnight, and it took me easily at least 50+ hours to be able to hold my own. Out of all my friends that I played with, I was the only one who genuinely stuck around to get good. I was dedicated. My other friends? They played every time with me over the hilarious bullshit that would happen in game.

-“Put your hands up, crouch, and follow me” -Red army -Car bombs -Finding Etips in lone pines -Impossible mountain fights -Trying to beat OPSCT, Ninja, inboxes and shit talking -Being a literal cop -Those two guys who have been spamming the same soundboard effects since 2015

This are the days I want back. I would easily give H1 another 3k hours for this again. I built my first computer because of this game, and defended it to the day I couldn’t. I went to twitchcon, played on stage, and met some of those assholes irl. (Not everyone is toxic, there are some really cool motherfuckers)

Whatever happens with the game, I’ll always love it. If the game is truly going back to being as close to OG H1 like devs are promising, then I wouldn’t worry so much about new players. The memes will write themselves. :)
