I remember when CS:S came out and it was so big and shit and everyone played Dust2 only but I kept getting owned in the game, it didn't matter which team I was on. If you went anywhere near the damn double doors, showing not even an inch of yourself in that little open then BOOM HEADSHOT you dead, they got you with an AWP or Scout. How the fuck do people headshot in that tiny open doors with people running past it at Sonic speed? You'd believe everyone was hacking. The game was insane and the players were even more insane.



A video example of what I'm talking about

Yeah some people are telling me they wasted their life playing this game like 5-10 hours a day. That's crazy.

CS: GO had better graphics than CSS, but everything else seemed inferior.

Is there a reason why? I always thought the gun mechanics and hitboxes are so fucking bad on CS games but apparently that's part of its charm.

They don't have a life savings. They spend every cent they earn at their part time grocery store job on their PC, games, and peripherals.

Just a lot of time and practice. Learning the odd hitboxes was my challenge. Then after that I would play on the #1 US server in CS:S. They hosted a 30min match of us once on G4TTV.

There was a period during summer break in middle school where I was playing almost entirely from when I got up at like 10 to when I went to bed at like 3. Even then I was probably mediocre at best.

Aim bot, mods, hacks, and whatever the latest shit is that cheaters use.
CS has had a problem with cheaters for decades, people have been caught red handed in person at tournaments and been literally thrown out.

Counter Strike has always been one of the easiest FPS games. The maps are tiny and it doesn't take much to kill your opponents. Being "good" at it isn't at all impressive.

I always really liked Counter Strike, but did anyone else prefer Tactical Ops? Basically the same concept, but it was an Unreal Tournament mod. Am I the only one that remembers this game? I believe it has like zero online community anymore very much unlike Counter Strike.

Honestly, I think there's just predisposition. Like, I was good the moment I started playing, and I only got better, and I ran into people who were just always worse. Slower, less accurate.

Like, fighting games, you need to learn them. But FPS is a direct, mostly obvious genre. Once you've seen a map, you can recognize choke points and pathing without needing to think about it.

Team Fortress Classic was the better FPS back then. Required far more skill for both movement and shooting.

Yeah it's weird how people are good at a game they've been playing for 20 years

Also CT spawns right next to those doors with T side having a LOS from their own spawn. They're not shooting at you they're shooting at where they know you're going to be.

Back in the day I could literally hear footsteps on the other side of one of the map loops and know precisely which way the enemy was going and how fast I needed to get to a choke point.

I was a freaking god at that game. Although truthfully that was just an aspect of playing on some extremely competitive servers long enough to get good.

TF? IIRC the game was more about using your class to its maximum potential. It's not tactical at all.

Who cares about tactics? It's the most skill-based FPS there has ever been and there will never be anything even remotely close to it.

What do you mean by skill based? Some of the more realistic fps games like Americas Army would rely considerably more on (trained or natural) skill.

I decent gaming computer doeasnt cost much nowadays, especially if you're tech savvy and custom build it. Afterward it's just a matter of them having disposal income enough to purchase the rest.

Which they'd Likely have if its their only hobby ontop of being childess.

Gaming PCs then and even now are more of a luxery thing/hobby compared to consoles. Usually for youngsters still in HS with parents wealthy enough afford them.

As gaming desktops are cumbersome and cant be transported easily so if you havent settled down someplace semi permanent and weren't financially stable were deadweight.

While gaming laptops while small were insanely expansive and now as comfortable to use for marathon gaming session's.
