that reminds me, if anyone wants to review a mod that's already been reviewed by me, please do as more perspectives on the same thing are better. most of my reviews are based on 3-4 days testing, so if a game gets boring a month later, i won't realize that at the time of the review of course.
now note that i often give points more for quality than anything else (maps, models, how bug-free, etc)...and that often doesn't have as much of a direct bearing on replayability (which in my mind = how fun a multiplayer game is) as you may think.
for example: ricochet...i would give it probably a 7/10 rating even though it's my favorite mod...because the quality of the mod is lacking. i play it a helluva lot more than natural selection which i gave a 10/10 however.
jabba, i really don't play that many games. often, i play ricochet and one other mod in the course of a day. i get bored on sunday nights, so i find myself dl-ing mods. most of the games i reviewed i only play once in a blue moon...if even then. i even removed a couple of them off my hard-drive because space is tight right now.
usually, i play my old standbys: ricochet and hldm. the only other mods that i play frequently right now are: pvk, battle-grounds and esf
