What really ruffles my feathers, is how these games were intentionally neglected, left to die, for two years. Amidst the pleas for a rejuvenation, these gamemodes have been subsequently removed in the hopes that they had since become so dead that nobody would notice. We were also told that 'Hide and Seek' was going to return at some point. All the while, all that has ever been needed was a couple of bug fixes, the addition of maps that had been submitted by the community, and the very occasional update.
This is the last I will say on the matter, at least until somebody responds to the subject of bringing back the old games, since I really don't like being a negative presence on the community. I do however, feel that issues like these should be addressed by the community, as to allow the management team to avoid repeating history. If this proposed suggestion is considered, here's a few issues that must be resolved before they're re-released:
-SCB had multiple game-breaking bugs that were easy to replicate. I documented all of them on the bug tracker a while ago
-Many achievements were broken or impossible, particularly in 'Spleef'
-SCB kits were terribly unbalanced upon the release of 1.9. Honestly, I feel the gamemode should simply be reverted to 1.8 combat, since the kits were all well balanced back then
-The old Arcade lobby was magnificent. Please find a way to re-use it later on, perhaps for an upcoming Seasonal event, as a nice source of nostalgia
