I agree that the game is slowly dying and has been for many years now. There are less servers or less popular servers than there used to be though there are still new players coming to the game yet it isn't enough to keep it going in my opinion. Starting up a big community with lots of servers would be a good thing but then the majority of players who are already in clans would probably want to play more in the community server than in the clan server, it would be a good idea for some if they can get it going.
Advertising the game is something we should do in order to keep it alive and to bring in new players and servers.
Put it this way COD1 is an old game and I can still see a lot of servers on it, some empty but others which still have players in.
Comparing graphics however is lame. If you are interested in playing the game then you wouldn't say anything about graphics and just play the game, it makes people a right wing retard if they just judge the game by it's graphics well before they even consider playing it.
