Is Command Dead?

[HalfLifeExpert]

A dead game is a game where the developers formally halt development and support, as well as the player base being largely gone, with remaining players not having much of community, or none at all.

For example, World in Conflict(2007) is sadly a dead game, formally since the servers were killed, preventing any more multiplayer forever. No more support or patches, no more multiplayer. That is a dead game.


CMANO is far from dead. Support is still alive and well. There is no evidence of there not being new content coming down the pipeline. Remember that the dev team is not huge like the AAA games that can have several updates and changes in a couple months. Quality stuff takes time to make.

Obviously the game is not dead.

However, to play devil's advocate, I do recall that there were more frequent updates in the past. To someone who doesn't have any other indication of the attention given to the game by developers except the frequency at which updates are released, it could appear that things are slowing down.

In reality there is the same if not more attention being paid to the game as evidenced by Iain's mention of the 21 development builds in the past 4 months.

To be clear I'm not saying the game is overdue for an update or anything along those lines, just that to someone who is 'out-of-the-loop' it might appear that things have slowed down, incorrect as that assumption is.

And here I was thinking that DLC and Live content keeps coming out faster than I can keep up with it, what with real life getting in the way. Dead? I'm not seeing it.

One of the devs, Dimitris, said today that the new patch is coming "pretty soon", so no, Command is not dead.

We used to get new builds in short periods of time. This year, the number of builds are being decreased so, it looks like the development is now slower than in the past, but it is only a perception.

Best bet may be to think positively and that maybe the time away is being spent developing something great.
