First, let me be absolutely clear how much I appreciate what the devs are doing for us, how much I enjoy playing this game almost every day, and how I support the absolute right of the devs to develop it in whatever direction they so choose. This post is made only due to my curiousity and in the interests of gaining more players and appreciation for MWLL.
A couple of times in the past, the devs have mentioned that they've introduced code which would enable them to make much more frequent point updates to MWLL. (For example, there was a developer post about the weapon/armour balancing tables, the way the launcher was improved to include auto-update, etc.)
Based on those comments, I thought we might see balance changes, new assets, say, every month or so. But that doesn't seem (?) to be happening. The last release was quite a while coming (and included a massive amount of new assets, modes etc). And now it's again been quite a while since that.
Anyway, I'm just curious about how frequently or otherwise the devs are planning to release new assets and features. We seem (?) to be continuing along the path of infrequent feature-packed releases, rather than more frequent tweaks with a few features in each. Is that the plan going forward...?
The reason I'm interested is a) curiousity and b) I do think each new release is an opportunity to reinvigorate the playerbase, and restore momentum. That is, older players who may have dropped off somewhere along the way come back to check out the new assets, balance, maps and features. And new players might hear about the point release on one of the media forums, and decide to check out the game.
