But Treyarch wasn’t the first to implement zombies into CoD. For the first time ever, the 2 behemoths of PC gaming will be competing directly, all thanks to the brilliant idea of IceFrog.ĭid anyone notice the huge deal with zombie modes lately? It got really big after CoD:WaW did it really well. Blizzard’s Dota and Valve’s Dota 2 are expected to launch in 2012. As an illustration for how popular the concept is, there are several big DotA style games out right now already like League of Legends and Heroes of Newerth, each with millions of players.

This free mod didn’t just cause 1 standalone game or series to be made, it defined a whole new genre: The Action RTS. The result? Defense of the Ancients, also known as DotA. It was released alongside with great modding tools. Warcraft 3 is a regular realtime strategy (RTS) game. Something even more spectacular happened with Warcraft 3. A game still being played competitively 11 years later. 2 years after the original release of Half Life in 1998, Counter-strike was released. Valve (The developer of Half Life) took notice and hired the guys working on the mod. After the Counter-Strike mod went beta and became available for people to download, the sales picked up again. The slow descent was only short term, however. So, as expected, the sales dropped steadily. The game sold really well because of the groundbreaking singleplayer (it laid the foundation for almost every modern FPS campaign), but the multiplayer wasn’t that good. Counter-Strike was a mod for the first Half Life game.

A lot of mods don’t stand the test of time because the developer of that mod just loses interest, but some others somehow cause a huge boost in sales for the game. Some mods fix bugs, others completely transform the game. It increases the longevity of a game after the developer stops supporting it.

A lot of PC gamers love mods, myself included. The amount of games with official mod support is getting lower every year. The quality and diversity of games has never been higher and thanks to the consoles and Steam on PC it has never been easier to get started.īut everything has a flipside. There’s nothing wrong with that! You made a very wise decision. I know a lot of the readers here at MP1st probably fall under my definition of mainstream gamers. The difference between today’s hardcore gamer and “them” is that the hardcore gamers have played the older generations: They know their roots. I say mainstream, not casual, because they play the same games as we do and almost love them as much.

The gaming industry is as big, if not bigger, than the movie industry and along with that, a lot of “mainstream” gamers came along.

15 years ago, almost every gamer could be considered hardcore by today’s standard. Not because less people play PC games, but because more people are playing on the consoles.
