Im from the hugger era, there are others too. A lot of people did quit though especially xeno players. I don't know if you were around but Apop and Feweh are gone its kinda a totally different era of CM now. People don't like the balance of the game, xenos were in a bad place for like 6 months and they changed things now to where xenos are over tuned but they are less fun to play than ever.
Tank was off screen 1 shot gibbing xenos and that was before the explosion change which made all explosions ridiculous. They slowly rebalanced grenades but RPG (sadar) and Tank are still ridiculously overpowered so they don't bring the tank in except on events and trijent dam.
Pretty much everything is different than hugger combat era I don't think anything is the same except for marines fighting xenos. Everything dies super fast now xenos and marines, there is less skill involved on both sides, the power balance of both sides is concentrated into very few roles making the other roles not as fun (specs, t3, queen). I would say just play it and get a feel for it cause like I said everything is different from that time period.
Also RP standards are in the garbage, they wont admit it but we are an LRP server now.
