Gaming has changed. Competing with commercial titles like the Call of Duty franchise etc. is futile. Fortress should give up on trying to attract casual gamers.
The Natural Selection 2 team has got it figured out. Make sure the game's learning curve isn't impossibly steep, but otherwise forget about trying to hang onto any players who don't love the game for what it is. Your community will always be finite, but as long as there's always a server to join, then why is that a bad thing?
I'm sure that this point has been argued like a million times, but, I like to hear myself talk.
Love and feels,
Joker
