I mean how many times can you freaking play dust2 in a row without getting bored.

I bet you I racked up more dust2 hours than I have in BF2 total hehe. It was a great game come on, at least as a temp until bf2 came out. Graphics were just amazing, that did it for me, as long as it look cool I can manage. Plus I was pretty good so I didn't get owned a lot, that helps with not feeling noobed.

AnarkyXtra the only reason I think cs:s sucks is because its the same exact game with almost no improvements except for graphics and ragdoll physics.  hell, they pretty much just remade all the same boring original maps we all played 50,000 times.  Take a look at a game like RTCW.  They improved it by coming out with a diff game called Enemy territory which I think is the best value game of all time, it was free, and so much fun to play.  It was a great improvement over RTCW. 

CS:S sorely needed a bunch of new weapons, perhaps even a ranking system where if you get a certain amount of points/kills you can buy new/better guns.  Just something to change it up.  I mean how many times can you freaking play dust2 in a row without getting bored.

but that was the point. its supposed to be just CS, but prettier. they werent ment to change anything. CS worked. all they did was try to make it better. their mistake was adding new guns and the shield. it just made things worse. but they had to do that to draw people back to CS, keep them interested without destroying CS gameplay, or change it to somethign entirely different.

you want new stuff? thats what CS2 is for, but itll probably come out right after Duke Nukem Forever comes out.

is there a FPS player out there who ISN'T an ex-CS player? CS is the one game that everyone has played.

that's not to say it's any good. it's slow, defensive, and has a ridiculously random ballistics model. [bf2's infantry weapons aren't any better]

i'm against any randomness in ballistics whatsoever. an accurate weapon rewards skill - if you hit someone, it means your crosshairs were exactly trained on them. that's not true with a weapon with randomness, like every CS gun short of a sniper rifle. if you hit someone, your crosshairs may or may not have been aimed at that person. it could be as much skill as it is luck.

CS can suck it.

i loved the ballistics in CS it wasn't that random the AK shot 3 rounds each slightly higher can't remember how many snipers i head shot like that.

oh and i was land gaming CS for Y2k    used to play with the UW clan up here in washington.

i still play cs 1.6 not source though

I agree with that person on page 1.

If it wasn't for the ranks on BF2, I would have been stuck to CS 1.6 and CS:S

EVERYONE AND THERE MOM IS A FORMER COUNTER STRIKE PLAYER. 

LoL...a little overexaggeration, but STILL. 

Anyone still play natural selection?  Now that was a team based game!

C Keen: well, you and your friends are rare indeed.

Xponential: yeah, i was there in the early beta days. now that was CS at its finest.... cool people being stupid together. i miss the scoped m4.

npt saying source is bad, its just sometimes new stff ends up being not as fun as old stff, like gta3 wuz da shit, but even though san andreas had more shit in it, it wuz not as fun, itz just someimtes when a game first comes it its mroe fun than if they just add on to it

For those who still play CS - what keeps you playing it? (just wondering)

So it would seem.

Like B.Schuss I stopped playing CS:S when the BF2 demo came out and haven't loaded Steam since. I was getting a little fed up with being called a cheat in CS:S just because I was doing well and killing people (especially when those people are clan members and it's the clan server, they don't like having their arses handed to them).

I started playing CS in beta 5 ... about mid 1999 or so. I stopped playing in v1.1 a while after it went retail. So many idiots started playing the game and ruined it if you ask me. I started playing again v1.3 but never got back into it. Same for when CS: Source came out. Long live beta!

lol WTF? have actually played CS?

CS is one of the games with the least randomness if you didnt know. games usually fall in to the perfect shot catagory or plain random catagory. CS was in the middle and that why it was so well received.

there are games like quake where if its in the cursor its a hit no matter what. rail gun, rocket launchers, plasma rifles, lightning guns, nail gun. if the cursor is on  then its a hit no matter what. the skill in those came from quick twitch and knowing how to lead your aim\ prediction.

then theres game like battlefield where if you fire theres an area where the bullet will recoil too. you cant predict where it will go, you just know it just has a certain deviation. games like that fall under bursting\knowning rate of fire and knowing how to use opportunity for the kill.

thats why the former has a term called gibbing that came around from where people would kill you with usually only random spray pattern gun, the basic machine gun. then theres the latter where they dislike to have a gun that is a 1 hit kill no matter where you hit and perfectly accurate.

CS fell in the middle. sure it has recoil and all that, but it all fell into spray patterns. knowing how to use each gun was key. each gun needed recoil to be controled differently, and aimed differntly. for example the AK. a 3  bullet burst shot(2 bullet after 1.5) with the cursor on the neck at any range for a headshot (some prefer the repeated one bullet tap instead, same results). give it about half a second settle then go for another headshot. or if your in mid or close range. you can spray it, but the secret is knowing the spray. you may think that BS but it true. it is random, but each gun has places where the bullet will most likely go.

AK - its a 7( after 1.5 its straight up a little then the 7)
M4 - goes straight up a little then an oval ( silenced it doesnt go up any it just has the oval with the first shot at the bottom, sometime instead of the oval it was more like a V with some hits outside the V)
SIG - use to be a P before 1.5 didnt use them much after the make the scoped rifles were nerfed.
ect...

you can say all you want about any game. every game has good points and bad points, but the bottom line is LEARN QUIRKS OF THE GAME.

if you ever played with me you know i like getting the kills with the"shitty" guns.

its all about the dualies.
