Hey man, really enjoyed the video, was a pretty recap of what happened while I was not in the scene. As for the developers not listening to the community, the community hasn’t exactly done the best job on providing feedback for the devs to go off of. Obviously an Anti-cheat is very key for establishing integrity in a competitive scene but I can guarantee you once CF really gets on top of it, the game will start progressing exponentially. I play C-OPS even with all the hackers (surprisingly I haven’t seen any in ranked as of now) because I genuinely enjoy the game and it’s fresh unlike CODM. Obviously a lot of accurate information with the competitive scene portions, thanks for informing people like me. Like you said we as a community need to be less toxic; its the only way to progress the game to where it could be. Good video bro.

[@ArdePier]

Have to agree with your take on the ''devs don't listen'. They 100% do and it's a shame Juice has put such a bad light on great people that keep improving the game as of today.

[@PHiNiX]

Found this Video randomly while researching something else and thought I'd give it a watch. One of the very few "tHiS iS tHe HiStOrY oF C-oPs" videos that are made by people who actually were there and that are largely factually accurate, so amazing job on that.. One of the things I'd have added was how gameplay has changed during the downfall, because to me personally, it was a considerable part in the whole thing (I assume it is one of the things you meant at 3:46), arguably the it even set all of the other stuff in motion. You sort of brushed over it towards the end, but I think the 1 reason why the hope is not realistic at the moment is, that the current community is close to impossible to work with. Basically, what comes around goes around. Back in the day, there were a ton of smart people in the community and their feedback could probably have prevented the downfall. Devs unfortunately did not listen, as their egos were to big to take advice from literal kids. Now, there are tons of smart people in the dev team, and they could probably prevent the further and incoming downfall. The community unfortunately is in no way open for change, as they have built an ego over being the few semi competent remains of a comparably dead scene. No proper org would go through the effort and the potential financial and image backlash for the very little benefit the game currently brings to a brand that is already established. I am sure that a ton of people were helped by this video and I am happy to see that there is still some quality content left in this game if you bother to dig down far enough.

[@LegendJuice]

Well said

[@D-D-DAKI]

How did it change I'm? I'm new to c-ops

[@NecroKun2403]

For my experience, cheaters risen at the time when PC version was also shutted down for acceptable reasons, which is budget cuts to run the servers and develop the game. The game went on a cheating spree for solid months until a ban wave just happened. Throughout these days, I've been a lot more busy with other mobile and pc games like Fortnite, TF2, Paladins, Wild Rift and Punishing: Gray Raven. And every time I look back into Critical Ops, I question if the game is still relevant. I had a good experience with the game back then until I left the game because it's lacking so much content and I have nobody else to play with. The PC shutdown happened back in May 2017. The time when cheaters have been released from their huts and massacred multiple lobbies. It was then fixed as the devs started working on an Anti-Cheat. Although it wasn't as effective back then as it was bypassed so many times. Fast forward, during the time in 2021, I asked the devs once if they will return the game to PC eventually, cuz it looks like the game is losing players due to lack of sponsorship, advertisements, or accessibility (The game being on mobile is cool, but perhaps it can be expanded by making it available to other platforms.), instead I got a big fat "No" with some person trying to defend why it doesn't need to be on PC, then I didn't bother defending cuz I feel like they are being delusional for the amount of players they have, just because the game reached a total amount of downloads that could be increased by literally uninstalling and installing the game again multiple times. Whenever I come back to the game (Asia Server), there is not a single soul out there. Complete zero that I couldn't really get any Critical Ops footage whatsoever to have a reason to make a video about it. Even at custom games, there aren't much rooms. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Add up the lack of content on each update. They only add one thing or a few, done a couple of fixes, new season and all. Then afterwards, nothing. They don't give you anything for compensation for the update. Trying to get the rewards in this game is also a massive flop that new players wouldn't be interested enough to even grind Milestones for Credits due to how low it gives. The battle pass feels pointless unless you actually have money to spend it on. The free pass provides nothing than the fewest amount of rewards that doesn't really makes the players interested either. The prices of the crates is acceptably expensive, but there is nothing free to give away low tier skins or credits to at least motivate the players. None of that. Otherwise, the gameplay is great. I know Cosmetics is a minor thing but for the gameplay, it's all perfect. The elements is there to make it a fun experience. But it still feels empty playing it and whenever you get matched against old timers or seasoned players, players would start to feel like the game is not for them. Not many people are fixated on playing Mobile Games, unless you can actually also play them on PC with the exclusive Cross Play. Best example is CoDM where it also allows PC players to play using GameLoop Emulator and it separates PC players from Mobile players unless both PC and Mobile are at the same party. TL;DR Game is dying from the lack of content, advertisements, reach, and lack of players with the unfair rewarding system and unconvincing way to receive rewards that gameplay feels tame, boring, and unmotivating to continue alone, but it can become more popular and fun if the game expanded through different platforms than just Mobile. The game just doesn't appeal to many anymore that it's dying as many people started leaving the game. Same to certain parts of the community gatekeeping new players from enjoying the game. Edit: The last time I checked was 4 months ago.

[@LegendJuice]

Yeah. I could see some of what u said but the casual community is huge right now and has been for some time. I was talking more of the comp scene in this video

[@Simply_King]

@@GlaceiOS it explains alot tbh.

Yeah you actually just explained why the game died. The updates and battle passes are lame these days. Sure they give animations in these passes but its coming to an end. Critical pass is going to be removed and replaced with a better one (thats what they said). Also lobbies these days are dead. No one is playing. If you happen to find a group of ppl playing consider yourself lucky cuz its rare these days. I also remember how EU1 was full of bots lmao

3:20 3:50 What do you mean by devs don’t listen? I feel like the community itself is too childish to where devs can’t listen, because everyone is so damn toxic. The only thing they say is “fix anti cheat pls” etc. That’s it. There are numerous things that you said that were wrong with this video and made literally no sense. Maybe you can improve it on the next one, because in my opinion you dodged a lot of important factors.

[@piggynice-06]

So u want hackers to dominate in the game?

[@LegendJuice]

Well I can say back in 2017-2018 the pros were nothing like the toxic new pros r nowadays. The game failed to keep those older pros for various reason one of them being partially the devs fault. A lack of support to that comp scene. Now the current comp scene is very toxic and tries to hack. They lost the old comp scene and that’s why there was a downfall. So u can’t blame the toxic community without putting part of the blame on the people running it. It’s like saying a McDonald’s is bad. It’s no the people who r there buying the food. It’s probably the people managing it

[@thunder7302]

There is always one constant in c-ops: hackers.

[@ArdePier]

The game never failed to keep “pros”, We reached like 100+ downloads this year. Idk about you, but that’s succes for this game.

You have no idea what is going on behind the scenes with developers or just how they are combatting this issue as we speak. Again, speak for yourself. And if you want to talk to the developers, then talk to them?

[@oldamsterdam9190]

and the remaining devs are also toxic so yeah thats also not making it better

[@Simply_King]

The update were they changed the aiming system (i think it was in 2021) reduced alot of players due to the players not being used to the new one. I also noticed that the clever and helmat update also reduced alot of players. I think its bcs the game is based off of luck these days.who ever shot first would get the kill. Its sad really sad i have been playing this game for 5 years and it is dieing in front of my eyes. I remember when thr lobbies were always full and hackers were funny to watch. Now its just toxic mfs everywhere. I hope this game revives i really have hope with the new pass system.
