is every season like this?

I think DAMN could host a RvS Mac ladder if they wanted.  Migration to RvS will be slower than we think, due to the fact that most people I play with don't have the comps to handle it.

I think a better question is will DAMN even WANT to host a ladder next season.  From some of Mauti's comments in the main news, I think we're pretty lucky that this forum and ladder are even here right now.  With all the insane amount of BS that he has to put up with, I wouldn't be surprised (nor blame him) if this was the last we see of any of the BL.  I mean, him and Elan do all of this for free.  They put in the 100s of hours for the new system for free, and what do they get in return?  A nice constant stream of flames.  I can't even imagine why they still do it.

Secondly, I personally doubt that there will even be GameRanger support for it.
 

Based on what Typhy?  Aspyr is doing the port, and they've been pretty good about all their games being on GameRanger.  And since they know it will not have PC/Mac compatibility, why would they not bake in GameRanger support?  Why would Scott not want to bring another big game onto GR?

Based off the CD key authorization setup in PC land.

I'd agree with you there, Splinter. I might add that Ghost Recon will be the game hurt by RvS, not RS. The majority of the RS players use iMacs and shit which won't be able to play RvS.

Also, as more and more people start to play, they'll discover bigger things. Even if *DAMN were to offer an America's Army ladder, I'm sure that A2 would remain consintrated on the TWL. *DAMN's setup worked well for R6 and RS, where there were less players, but you can already see it weakening with such a large GHR community.
