72,163 74,976 Counter-Strike
Those are players right now at 11am on a Saturday
back in the day css was at 70,000 or so, its something on our end. Were too strict.
We have the regs to maintain a good standing CSS server, something is just off from when we only had 1 CSS server with NFO, random pubbers would always be joining. Now there are hardly any random people playing, all regs.
