Sure, the spray patterns are different and you have to aim differently(beating the muscle memory is hard even after several years), but it's still fun and I don't mind learning a "new" game. If your aim is really bad, I suggest a few hours of aim maps instead of dying in competitive after a few seconds and then waiting for the round to end. You'll get better much quicker. | ||

On the one hand you have a bunch of conservatives who won't play anything different unless it's a carbon copy of their beloved game, on the other hand you've got people who used to play 1.6 (or CS:S) and are now rediscovering counter-strike through GO. Anyone who has been following the Halo competitive scene has seen this same transition happen three times already (Halo 1 -> Halo 2 -> Halo 3 -> Halo Reach), and it's always the same: There are the people who want a re-skinned version of the previous game and will think of any change as bad. Most of the time they won't be able to give any reasons to why the new way is worse of the old way better. Even if a new and interesting gameplay mechanic is introduced, it will be completely written off, because "that's not how it was". Eventually though, those people will leave the community and be replaced by new ones that embrace the new game as it is. Then the community will be back to normal again. Until it's time for another sequel... | ||

i'd imagine a pretty small portion of the playerbase has GO as their first cs game. | ||

I still think theres a huge problem with head hitboxes and spamming, everyone in this thread seems to think its ok, but i think its bullshit, the amount of lucky shots and pure spamming that results in 1 shot your dead from miles away is ridiculous, Sorry, i should be able to burst someone down before they can spray me down at mid-long range, its called fucking accuracy xD once in a while is fine, but every damn time is just silly to die in 2 seconds from someone spamming half a map away. Also the ragdoll physics are fucked up, the slightest touch on a gun will send it flying miles away. (I watched someone shoot an M4 at spawn with a pistol and it flew up in the air and didnt come back, xD) and it effects grenades sometimes too, they hit certain objects and "bounce" away. Also object hitboxes seem to be off, or the grenades hitbox, one of the two, sometimes you'll throw a grenade through a gap it should be able to get through, only for it to bounce off the wall and come back at you, resulting in suicide. xD When that doesnt happen, the game is wonderful though! :D | ||

And back then, it wasn't some infrastructure in the eSport as today, if you earned a few money from LAn tournaments, you would call your self maybe semi pro if it happened on a regular basis. No streaming, no nothing, just LAN and showing off in ladder (clanbase comes to mind). Today you have to maybe quit your job or be plain genius to be called semi-pro. Today people have more games then they have friends, so it was quite an era when CS came >) | ||

But the competition was always on a high level and there were tons of players and teams. It was where esports defined itself that CS was the pinnacle of teambased esport. As far as I can remember (and im quite "old" for a gamer), it was the first huge teambased tactical shooter. | ||

I wouldn't say that, depending on the time you started, it took two to three years to get close to the top and that was only on a country level. The scene was really huge back then, because CS was the game to play. | ||

When I first discovered CS back in beta 6.1, it was already the most played mod for Half-Life, even more than Team Fortress Classic, which came with Half-Life. | ||

Need to learn how to use the ak and m4, pistols feel so much better. Edit: a TL server would be great. Back when I played TF2 I'd always join No Heroes/TBR because they had a great community. | ||
