well, dont forget autoaim and other stuff which were implemented to game, yes maybe it is convenient, but one way or another it made fights dumber, less skill required, i still sometimes watch red dot army old videos, when they kicked the buts, without any autoaims, always manual sniping all the nobs.
Anyway, these were times when the game was alive and kickin, now its just dead. Most probably cause it was nerfed by devs...
