Coh1 consisted of clicking around snipers in every gamemode. it was literally a minigame about who can get the other player's snipers.
all that fancy flanking mechanics (which i enjoyed) could be nullified by simply pump out permacloak snipers.
the arty spamfest in coh1 teamgames were much worse. the lategame minigame was about who is able to put a v1 on the calliopes or howitzers, mostly by trying to find a not-mined route with a bike, or who can kill the repair and medic bunkers more efficiently on the other side.
no, i don't miss that
Maybe because you are bad in CoH?
