    Some of these mods are so fantastic, but the overwhelming dominance of CS, I suspect, destroys many a mod's chances of being recognized as such. Sure, not all need huge communities, but unfortunately some are so sparse it's hard to find other players.

    I'm not the only one to have noted this phenomenon.

    There's not much that can be done about it, but it's a shame. Even Quake TF at the height of its dominance didn't have the kind of crushing popularity.
