Page is gone.

Can you just rewrite it here, from memory?

Loaded up the game for the first time in almost a decade.

I remembered what bugged me about it.

I think "Spies" ruin the game.

On the other hand, I was sniping last night and got accused of hacking. Nice compliment.

Does anyone know if they allow.console players to match with PC? People seem slower than they were 7+ years ago.

Maybe the good people went to PUBG or LOL?

Maybe, or I'm playing against more noobs. I'm going into these maps with a decade of.experience, even after having taken years away. I know all.the good sniping spots, and I even introduced some of the sneaky ones to a new crowd, last night, knowledge lost like tears in the rain.

But then the spy waves come through, and I spent 10 solid minutes at one point without firing a shot, because there were more cloaked spies in the base than there were teammates.

I.dont like.spies because they are such a spoiler. A.single skilled.spy will change the entire game.from blue vs. red, to "stop.everything and deal with the spy.". I'd love a "no spies" mode.
