Make this game pay2play
Only like a dollar or so and don't modify it any bit beyond that. Think about it. They get more profit then they already did, and WAY WAY WAY less hackers because then who would want to go through the hasstle of paying a dollar per account just to be banned? And then with less hackers there would be less hack report traffic making it even faster. So really it's like win-win.
Only make it so people with already made accounts still have to pay, but if they bought ZP before they already payed. And if not you just have to pay a dollar or so and you get it all back. And you could make that work with game cards that don't let you chose your pay. Say you buy 20$, 1-3 dollars goes to registration, the rest is ZP.

But this would improve the situation, so It won't matter. -
BS
CF has been free for year's and that's that. why do you think so many people play it?? they would lose ton's of player's in the process and ton's of cash as well, and i can hold my word down to that all the way. and as for racker's in general, there would still be ton's of them...really, wow, you think a dollar is going to stop some kid from hacking!?!?!? lmfao wow kiddo, you should really look at the situation better and the game. as i can tell you haven't been playing this game very long at all...you sound kind of nubish personally but anyway no pun intended. i've been playing CF for almost three year's dude and i think they are doing the best they can with what they've got, just play the game and enjoy man...peace. -

1 dollar isn't much to pay. And if they really can't cope with that, they should be gone, their too cheap. As for the population being lower, look at the above answer and, since right now like 1/6 of the population hacks wouldn't that be good? And as a matter of fact I've been playing since late 2008. I find it hard to enjoy getting walled/farmed too. -

Well actually the people who would pay to play would be most of the west coast and echo 8 people..
i would pay to play if it stoped hackers -.- soo far 34 people said yes to pay to play 5 said no and 9 said depends. 
on my list of asking people -
They earn more money this way.
If this game would cost 1$ dollar, no one would buy it because it's a crappy and bad game. Compare cf with some other games like css or cod:4.
They earn a lot of money now because many ppl download it and they get addicted to it and then they start spending money on it. Some ppl spend like 100$ on zp and later they do it again.
They earn more money this way then by selling it for 1$ or 15$.
They could changed it so new players have to pay 1$ to play it but the ppl already playing don't have to. This way they won't lose a lot of players.
They could also add a pay server which costs like 1.99$ a month. Some of the players could play on the free servers and others on the pay server. -

you do know that comparing CF to COD is unfair right? however CSS is fine
on the other hand, it will just make CF lose more players and then Z8 will have less people buying the game to play; so it will make Z8 lose even more money. in addition, try to think how long will it take to process all of that money :P -

Counter-Strike is bigger than CoD.
CoD is simply more commercial and easily accessed by many. -
The money brought in by 1 person buying ZP would pay for 9 more then.
Free to play brings in more money than pay to play, its quite simple.
Just turn it around: Do you think most CS players would pay ten bucks for a new skin, while having already paid for the game?
The mentality of the F2P market is pretty special.
If you get to play it for free, you're willing to spend money on extras.
If you have to pay for the game, you expect most of the stuff IN the game to be free. -

This is the only intelligent thing that's been said in this thread.
Also, pay2play does not fix the hack situation, and really has no effect at $1. Have you seen hackers with SPOP/ZP guns? I sure have. Whether they're doing it from surveys or actually putting money down, hardly anyone who hacks would quit because of a lousy $1 fee. All you're doing is taxing the community without offering any kind of improvement. -
the problem is that they will lose a mass amount of players to free 2 play games even if it is 1$, some kids do not have the means to get the money to them (credit card, pay pal, etc) and would be confused by it, and i know blah blah it would be so much better without the kids, but it makes a mass of the population go away and make another game popular

Agreed! This is why many people play this game, because it's free! If you want P2P, just buy ZP. Some people won't want to play. CF would lose a lot of players too.The money brought in by 1 person buying ZP would pay for 9 more then.

Please make a server for 2nd LT + for UK and Alpha only , then we can play hacker free because anyone hacking at that rank would get annihilation in the vote system because none of us would be dumb idiot's thinking whats F11 like in public's.
Like an ELITE server where all the high ranks and pro's can play literally hacker free.
(almost like a ESL public server, with any guns)
I'd pay anything up to £20 for 6months for that
Note the price would be only for the server the game would remain F2P.
Keep in mind 85% of cheater's use new account's , this would stop that.
The SFC server is pointless. the rank permission is too low and you still get loads of BR's in it.

Irrelevent when the game itself is free to play. The weapons and "perks" CAN be paid for.
Personally I find M4, Deagle and AWM to be a perfect set up. Not a penny spent... if you can aim -
And this is the great part: Its a Free 2 Play game, you don't have to pay to play it!
every one seems to forget that some players have hundreds even thousands of dollars invested here , @ least I dont have to spend anymore money to continue to play , Guess thats a good thing ???
I enjoy negative feedback from anyone willing to give , thanks guys , do tell me more -

Why? CF sucks compared to every game, even cs 1.6 or half life is better then cf.NoobExplode wrote: »This is the only intelligent thing that's been said in this thread.

I rarely see a hacker in counter strike source. I am playing cs since years and I saw only like 30 or 40 Hackers the last years. I see 30 or 40 Hackers in CF in a week or two weeks. CSS has a better anti hack system but I think they payment keeps the hackers away. I think the ppl wouldn't buy the game again after they got banned, or their parents won't allow it to them.The SFC server is pointless. the rank permission is too low and you still get loads of BR's in it.

I'm pretty sure hackers have 1 or 2 bucks.
