Played last night, it was like deja vu, I could have sworn I had played something similar before, oh wait...
The biggest changes are very similar if not the same as the ones many people railed against back in August. Here is one of my replies from that thread :
"I have seem many in this private message thread speak out about the proposed changes to the hopping in particular. I have not seen one person come to the defensive of the proposed changes to the jump settings. You can call it and exploit or a trick or whatever, but the fact remains the majority appear to like it the way it is. I did suggest on the forums a few months ago that there should be a vote on any major changes such as this, but in the absence of that the current evidence suggests the majority are in favor of it staying as it is. That is the best reason there is.
I would say having talked to people that the proposed changes to staying visible while in a killstreak are also unpopular. Fewer people have spoken out about this though, so its more difficult to gauge. I think this will have a large effect on the way the game is currently played though and should be strongly reconsidered.
Again this is just my point of view. At the end of the day if changes are made that a majority like but I dislike and as such no longer enjoy playing on the server, I will go and play elsewhere."
Played with 7 regulars last night, no one liked the hopping or staying visible while in a killstreak, same as in the message thread 9 months ago.
Making major changes to one of the top ranked servers in a 12 year old game, or indeed in any game, seems nonsensical. I would be open to trying some new guns and killstreaks, but drastically altering gameplay because 5 people don't like hopping (but continue to play the server) is not something I'm interested in.
