Usual Wrote:Well known and long time SA player here (4 years plus). Pretty much everyone knew the game was going to close because nexon removed 90% of the maps couple months ago, which i think is unprecedented in gaming history and haven't had any patches since then. Not to mention, every old school player quit around 2 years ago when nexon took over SA from gamehi and even the most loyal players left within the past few months such as myself. The game was known for having as many hackers as Combat Arms but we had brief periods of no hacks here and there but it's been too long since the game has been clean. For over a year, the game has seen a dramatic increase in Arab players (Saudi Arabia, Egypt) while players from other countries (Koreans, Americans, Canadians, Europeans, Australians) were leaving, which made it seem like the game wasn't dying but pretty much anyone with a brain knew.
Hackers were never a huge problem in SA because the legit skilled players would play amongst themselves, thereby avoiding these young wannabe hackers. The problem now is that there are no skilled players to play with so you're forced to play with these scrubs that are terrible even with hacks. A game that requires skill is no fun if everyone that still plays the game has none.
Also, many FPS players have a negative view on Combat Arms so compensating us through CA will not be successful. I was hoping for some compensation for Extraction maybe? Idk how good that game is though. Beta key plz!
So... basically they just bought it to get rid of it? I don't get it. Why let a game become so hacker infested and remove content? >_>
