KCF0107 02/09/21 2:28:54 AM #40:	#53 Counter-Strike: Source (PC, 2004) This is really a placement for the entire series, but if I'm going to point out one, it is Source due to using the much better Source engine than those of its predecessors and the great custom maps that the community put out all the time. Counter-Strike is the sole reason why I created a Steam account back in 2005, and I only played games from the series on it until around 2010 or 2011. It is a perfect pick-up-and-play and also a "one more round" kind of game. My hours got reset at one point, but virtually every CS game would be in my Top 5 most played on Steam. The flavor of each round is about rescuing hostages or planting bombs, and you play as counter-terrorists or terrorists. As I pointed out earlier with Nightfire, I am big fan of higher-stakes multiplayer in having a life system, and in Counter-Strike, you get one life per round. Because most of what came before were arena shooters, it was one of the earlier online shooters to truly emphasize teamwork and strategy, and the loadouts (you accrued money in each round you could use on armor or weapons in the subsequent rounds) you chose before the action started could be the difference between success and failure. The brevity and fulfillment of each round was unparalled, and hours could go by in a flash. I want to bring up Condition Zero's Xbox port because it had a console-exclusive map that is my favorite in the series, Miami, which was inside of a bank. The area had lots of rooms and vents, so there were more hiding places for the terrorists (it was a hostage map). My friend and I would cheat on this map lol. It wasn't in every CS game, but in the Xbox one, you could see where every ally or enemy was when you died and follow their movement. My friend and I would call each other on cordless phones, and when we were on the counter-terrorist team and either of us died, we would shift the camera around and tell each other where the enemies were holed up. Did we win a bunch of games that we shouldn't have? Yes. Do I regret what I did? Absolutely not. --- KCF can't actually be a real person but he is - greengravy If you smell what the rock is cooking he's cooking crap - ertyu <cite>KCF0107 posted [p:950440435] in The Board ...
