Counter-Strike Source

I still play 1.6, but all of the maps are horribly flawed.

Nobody bothers to defuse a bomb if there's a 1v1 finale left, everybody just fakes it and waits for the terrorists to come running.

Assault is horribly flawed too. All terrorists camp in the house, spam the vents, cover the front and back door, and never go out. Oh and then you have at least one terrorist camp up the ladder of the vents.

Militia is basically a map which everybody jumps on terrorist for. They camp on the roof with awps, and other people cover the drains.

Inferno is also an awp map, I don't know why people pug on it.

Since 1.5 was cancelled, people have stopped using aztec. This is a good thing, because people shouldn't of played this map at all. It's basically an awp map as well.

Nuke is terrible to pug on. If the teams are unbalanced you're going to find terrorists planting under almost always and win every time.

Dust2 is flawed. Any map where terrorists can awp anywhere around the ct spawn shouldn't be taken seriously.

So, uh, yeah. I'd probably play 1.6 with headphones and take it seriously if it wasn't for these moronic 32 bit teenage nerds that cluster around my internet cafe thinking that they're cool, with their ipods and backwards caps, knifing newbies like it's a global achievement.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

The point of Counter-Strike is usually for the terrorists to defend and the CT's to assault them

That's why people awp on maps which are intended for terrorists not to camp but to plant or rush? And what about iceworld and bloodstrike, which have no objective at all. That's a counter-strike approach to a deathmatch.

How do ct's get better guns? They get the M4. Right. And their auto sniper is shit compared to the terrorist one. How does one gun justify it as balanced?

That being said, wallhacking and pretending that you're not; back in the day of 1.5 was awesome. If people still took this game seriously it might be different, but if it isn't for hackers or screeners nobody would play anymore.

That's another problem with public servers, you never can tell when somebody's hacking. And people get the thought "Well, they are hacking, so why can't I?" and it never ends.

I've taken out an awper with a glock before, and it isn't a matter of what you're doing. Sure, there's an awper behind the box in t spawn of dd2, you're going a long with a team mate, they kill him, you check behind the double doors, run along the wall, jump out with a glock and pow. That isn't knowing what you're doing, that's purely based on aim. And if they're hacking, it is REAL difficult to tell when they're awping constantly.

You can also silent plant on nuke, train, dust2, inferno and a bunch of other maps. That isn't balanced either. But hey, it really doesn't matter. You can't expect any online multiplayer game to be balanced.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Also, you said something about only the m4 being better, the TMP is MUCH better than the mac10, the USP is WAY the hell better than the glock, and the famas is better than the galil[using burst shot, it's amazing].

Glock takes skill, yes, and it also has burst fire. Why does it matter if the TMP is better than the mac and the famas being better than the galil? NOBODY bothers to use those guns when it comes to a serious match. That's about as stupid as somebody using an mp5 in a tourney.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

S?ecter, no offense, but do you die alot?

I find that alot of casual counter strike players seem to just rush ahead, or are extra cautious in their play. Like the kind you see standing there, at the first exit of the original dust map, waiting for backup, because he doesn't want to go in alone. Or the kind which rush in and die over and over and wonder why.

I think counter strike is pretty unbalanced due to hacks. If people didn't hack at all, and everybody knew for a fact that everybody else didn't hack, there would be no worries. Even people in clans hack, and that's pretty freaking sad.

Usually you find serious tournaments/LAN parties where nobody is hacking, but that is getting rare. If you're in a tournament or something like that, usually the competition is pretty tough, and if nobody's hacking it still doesn't matter since they might as well be - for how good they are.

I also hear using headphones helps. I had some headphones back in the day but I didn't really notice a difference. What do you think? I ended up returning mine, they were $35 and I consider that quite high for a gaming enhancement/accessory.

Before I forget, I should mention that what's been said has been concerning 1.6, not source. Source doesn't really mix well with me, everything feels so soft and different. The guns have a cute feel, everything feels more basic. That was probably valve's intention though.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?
