I really miss the good old CA Times back in 2009-2012;
I miss the german clans playing primarly maps like Short Fuse and Piazza, because they transferd over from elimation pro.
I miss the portoguese clans playing Power Surge with their 150+ ping refusing to play anyone with a kda higher than 1.30 in clanwar.
I miss being a part of a community that felt exclusive, with unwritten rules like no specialist in SnD and no "op guns" xD.
I miss recognizing players in lobbies by their names & miss being recognized and respected just because i was some sort of well known player in a small community.
I miss the feeling when you clutched a round in CW (I once clutched a round on sandhog with 15hp vs 3 Legion.B member and defused the bomb - good times q.q ).
I miss reading "gg no re" after a won clanwar or "no play" in a pregame lobby, because you had a 2.20 KDA with 1300 Elimination kills on a new account.
I miss the weird tacitcs on rattlesnake like "smoke balcony from down and we rush top after throwing nades in several nade spots".
I miss purchasing name changes and country code changes so nobody would know who iam ingame, to switch clans every now and then.
I miss learning new nadespots with youtube videos, practicing them ingame with my little brother in a seperate lobby.
I miss watching montages from xXTurner and Extremes ( -> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xER0WcD_MM0 - one of his best ! ).
I miss getting random headshots through wallbanging double doors and fences.
I miss playing esl with my team and seeing the rivalry between players and their edgy guestbook comments on their esl profilpages.
I miss being kicked from a gameroom by an elite moderater for getting a triple (multi-) kill with three headshots in a row >.<
But mostly i miss the old Combat Arms, playing with people for diffrent countries learning english while playing CW with teampeak, having a blast while bragging about clan or kda stats.
Hopefuly some of the older SnD players read this post and feel the same :-) ! Have a nice day
