I think that the new patch (even though beta; it has a new map which equals => people wanting to download it) has a mojor thing to do with it. And I mean a MAJOR thing! Think about it...the patch came out a day or two AFTER the mod. So take it rationally...there are two scenarios which can come out of the Beta Release of the patch...
1) Most people downloaded the mod and/or the patch for FS. They play it with great enthusiasm and when they see the new beta patch, they say "Ooooohhh....it must be my lucky 2 or 3 days! A new patch WITH A NEW MAP! Im sooooo getting this!" and then when they want to play FS..."Oh damn....it doesnt work...crap...oh well, it was fun while it lasted..."
or scenario...
2) They didnt know or hear about FS until it was too late...they downloaded the beta patch for 2142 and they go to download FS just to find that it doesnt work...
Why so serious?I recently had a tragedy in my life...Alicia....threw herself out the window...
