The physics were much better than now! I didn't even expect that. Also this map was one of the hardest and unbalanced maps, you can never find maps like this in MM because the game is now fast paced. I started the game in 2012 and all of my memories are in the old graphics which were much better than post-2013. Definitely the video shows me some nostalgia but actually we have the same graphics even after HD skins

The buildings were much better than now, this picture is of 2010 definitely in 2012 graphics were much better. Railgun M0 had a fun ladder on it, shown on the picture.

Winter was really cold and freezing. Tank colors were more visible, they tried to solve this problem that were prominent in 2013-2020 with their HD skins, definitely they're better than 2013+ skins but not better than 2012.

I loved the bullet load bar. The old GUI had so much character somehow, now it's just that standard mobile-ish interface.
