I remember the good old days when all of the DoD servers were regularly, if not constantly, full. The fact is the Sniper server was a good idea for awhile, but slowly became less attractive for many players. In addition, the fact is Day of Defeat continues to lose players to other, newer games. Until Valve releases the next edition of the game (They had better or else I will be upset, not to mention there is CSGO in the works), the player base for DoD:S will continue to decline. I don't like to admit that reality, but sometimes you have to face the facts.
