Earth's Special Forces > NS1?

Tracking the demise of NS1, I've noticed that Earth's Special Forces is now leading in the non-retail mods category for HL1 and Source mods.

Yeah, I've noticed that too.
And surprisingly there is no source version to steal away players from esf, although it's a very popular theme.

In addition esf can just wish itself back with the 7 dragonballs after it's dead <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/nerd-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="::nerdy::" border="0" alt="nerd-fix.gif" />

Meh, what I don't get is why they had copyright problems with Bid for Power on the Quake 3 engine, but esf is ok...

I think maybe they thought bid for power would have been more of a threat to any game they made with it being on a newer engine, and esf is on the old hl1 engine? which is around 10 years old or something now ;o
