Its interesting to note, currently UT2004 is ranked #2 on gamespy stats.
1. Half Life 34041 servers, 36320 players
2. Unreal Tournament 2004 3259 servers, 2492 players (JUST!)
3. Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory 2687 servers, 2402 players
Its mainly the ONS gametype with 901 players at the momment.
RO is the only mod people seem to be playing with 40 Players. When i tried frag-ops i found about 10 players scattered around 6 servers. Given MSUC and the fact these other mods won places no one seems to be playing them online.
Interesting to note that there are 86 Players, playing Invasion.
This may be a bit early to think about releases but one thing a mod cannot do is compete with gametypes that come with a game, due to the greater amount of players who would have access to them.
For DA2 I would be aiming to get DA2 onto as many PC Magazines as possible; as for some people downloading mods is not an option. And having the mod on a CD would increase the chance of these people installing it.
Spreading the world too to the new players. A lot of people dont know about "mods" for games and would need to be informed. How? Not sure. best bet might be a magazine as to visit a unreal news site you would know about mods already.
Languages? not everyone speaks or understands english, one thing I would like to introduce later on are language options for other countries, such as French, German, Dutch etc
