That's like saying yeah you can neglect professional soccer because only 0,01% of all soccer players play as professionals. So let them play with rubber balls to increase the fun.
1v1 is the most competive part without any doubt followed by 2v2.
Only because 4v4 is played the most doesn't mean it's the most important.
People play 4v4 because they want FUN (just like the usual soccer player).
But people usually play 1v1 and 2v2 for competition.
(Or just because they have no more friends that own the game like me )
Comparing soccer with coh2 is pushing it a bit too much, nein?
I think we have a low player base is coz the larger team games are not that enjoyable. Although most people play them. And that's where the money is.
Also a lot of people play video games for fun. I play quite a bit of LoL, a whole lot more than coh2, and its despite the fact that I know I will never play in south korea in a huge arena for 2.3 mil
