Well i don't play CS anymore and, well, i don't like it either. I used to play it religiously, pub games only, and i found i had an extreme problem with the players. Well, i say the players, but it seems to me that the nice and friendly ones are outnumbered about 10 to 1, at the least. I kept playing and playing and no matter how many times i had to reply to "OMG NUB" with "dude, it's just a game, i'm trying to have some fun" that i ended up making a bind for it. No matter how many servers i tried or got to know people on, every single game i played there would be some jerk spoiling it for everyone else.
So, i quit playing. It was fun enough a year or two ago, but it stopped being fun, and i feel, for me, that the community were the only ones to blame. I still play it occasionally at LAN parties, but my experiences of it have left nothing but a bad taste in my mouth.
I only play with bots (yes I'm that bad) because everyone else is either too stupid to understand anything in the game or headshoot me with their knife 3 seconds from the start.

I think that cs was a lot more fun way back in its beginings. I helped run a clan and a dedicated server and all that.
I played it for hours on end lol. I seriously had scores like 33-0, 316-115, and 86-6 at times. If you dont believe me then dont but i have unaltered sceen shots <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->. I played that game like 5 hours a day I remember at my peak. I will never be able to get those types of scores again b/c i have a life now <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo--> and i hardly ever play the game.
I dont really like the new things they have now like the shield and such but Ill give them a try.
One of the reasons that I stopped playing was the player base. It started to "not agree with me". And a lot of my favorite servers closed down after a while. Plus after playing for so long i just got tired of it lol So I started to play some other new mods at the time like DOD.
But i will say CS is the reason I got into HL Mods.
Have you guys ever tried playing Urban Terror for Quake3?, IMO it beats CS by a longshot, and I find it frustrating when you ask a CS player "ever heard of UT?" and they say "whats UT?" lols, the game is balanced almost to near perfection and has a large community that are very integrated with the devs themselves, Ive been playin it for years, I played CS a long time ago but never liked it from the beggining because of balance issues, you'll find UT is very fast paced and makes CS look like a.... well something slow and boring <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo--> .. anyhow go check it out. (note not a flame just a tease)
If you want realism go play Operation Flashpoint (Or follow Fam's example and eat a plant)
CS is not meant to be full on realism, its based on action and frankly all the haters can go away. No I don't play CS online but I am waiting impatiently for Condition Zero.

I haven't played cs since last march. (I got the steam beta back when it was "first opened" before being closed a day later) But I played it again last night (just got the cable hooked up again)
The new guns mean SMGs will never be used. The new knife, while a nice model, just isn't being held right. But the one thing that will keep me from deleting 1.6? The bots. They are so much smarter than any other bot. I just wish they had the customizeability that PoDBots had. From the speaking (err typing... whatever), to ingame murder of them all, to choosing there weapons for them. Oh well. Lose the features, but gain in A.I.. Now if we could get valve to make NS versions... <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->
I think CS has now become more of a test bed for future valve stuff. VAC, Steam, the bots... yeah... guarantee HL2 and CS2, etc, will have this stuff.

that's the british Accuracy International L96a1 sniper rifle, misnomered as the AWP/M.

i do.
dude it IS realistic. ULTRA-realistic.
in real life, 9 outta 10 guys is an a**hole, yes?
in CS it's exactly the same way!! XD

i'm too tired to tell the story.
someone please fill in?
