While it has a generally healthy player count right now, I'm feeling it's going the way of cannibalizing itself into Quake where only people that religiously play stick around. This game is dead for incoming/new M&K players very quickly, and everything else is an arms race of blatant cheating, especially the plague that is controller "configs" enabling people to do impossible movement and mechanics.
I wish I could learn how to play this game again for the first time. The first 500 or so hours I sunk into this was the most fun I've had in a competitive FPS since Black Ops 2. There is so much depth in the gameplay here. If it had an actual progression system and wasn't a microtransaction hellscape it would easily be one of the best FPS games of all time.
