Truly amazing game...

The same things that made me (rage-)quit back then are still more or less present. Everyone's a sniper, machine gunning (especially mounted versions) is suicidal, people spawning with enemy weapons, lack of a team cohesion feeling and more run-gun-dead-repeat than tense gameplay.

Back into hiding then .

Yes, do try Classic. No spawn with enemy weapons at all, run-and-gun is suicidal against wary opponents, you feel proud of shots you make at long distances, and playing on a full server can be tense enough to force me to change my shirt after a sweaty round.

There have certainly been ups and downs since release, but general gameplay is now practically without issues. I'm still very optimistic after all of this... I'm hoping that Rising Storm will bring a load of old players back, add an influx of new blood, and keep people playing for a long, long time. Tripwire seems to be betting a lot on this as well.

I hop in when I'm fortunate enough not to be doing homework during EU peak hours, when the Classic server is full. I still have loads of fun... except maybe on Apartments, by God...

I do find it amazing, that many of the things people complain about (in Realism) have been mostly solved in Classic Mode. But somehow it seems they just don't try it.

Of course, I'm not even going to go into the fact that many Classic features should be in Realism to begin with
