Counter-Strike never appealed to me. And it never will.

Time to break out the flak cannon, boyo! We're going flag hunting!

You'll see it's all a show, keep 'em laughing as you go. Just remember that the last laugh is on you.

Play on a lan with a few mates, it's sooooooo different: you can shout to each other and co-ordinate properly, and it's absolutley fan-bloody-tastic.

Aztec got me hooked on the game, but my favorite map at the moment is Italy. Assault is sort of fun, but for CTs its almost impossible to win with equal teams (or so I've noticed).

gthere was this one map from way back when i first tried it before the hackers and morons started to really show up and ruin the game...

it was a city type area and i think the hostages were in a garage in one of the buildings... i defnately don't know what it was called or if it's still in CS since all the servers i've joined seem to run the same 3 maps

LONG LIVE DREAMCAST!!!

I totally weep at the lack of AS maps.


Playing terrorist is great fun as there's actually a good reason to be a sniper now, and it's fairly challenging too with the best sniper positions being open to attack.

Playing the VIP is great fun as you have to duck and dodge and go eeek run away, and you have twice the armour of anyone else so you can take out at least one terrorist easily.

Playing the CT might be slightly less fun than the other two, but you have to be on the lookout and protecting the VIP and the passage he'll be going through. Plus it often results in big firefights, resulting in deathmatch-style play. Also you can grin smugly if you use clever shielding tactics to escort the VIP to the chopper.


I mourn the loss of as maps.

I think I know what you are talking about. Was it CS_SIEGE? I think that map is still available but not many play it.

Assault, 747, Office, Aztec

I only ever played CS for LAN games. In essence it is just a Half-Life multiplayer expansion with 1 life per player, weapon purchasing, and crude objective-based maps. I prefer Return to Castle Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory.

apparently the map i was talking about is cs_assault... i haven't played on that map since i started playing again it's all been dust, dust2, aztec, office

------------------
LONG LIVE DREAMCAST!!!

Assault, 747, Office, Italy, Militia, Aztec, Dust, Dust2. Now this is my all time favs. Looks like HL2 is worth getting? Anyway. I will get back to cs. Eventually..

Actually CS is more of a Rainbow 6 rip off than anything else.

How is it possible that no one has mentioned awp_map or fy_iceworld?

i don't play RS... never seems to be a game going when i try so i don't bother with installing it and just play raven shield

------------------
LONG LIVE DREAMCAST!!!

RS is by far a better game. At least it's realistic. They tried to being tactical combat to a game full of idiots to begin with. Tactical combat is usually realistic, not a match of carbine freinzied terrorists and guys wearing uniforms. Dumb.

I agree, counter strike is only fun anymore at a lan.

I like Office and Italy.

I absolutely HATE dust. I don't know why it's played so much.

Although CS Source makes it look pretty, I'm done with the beta until the final game. Dust gets old, even with shiny new cool graphics. .'/

Also, a note about CSS: The blast shield is not in CSS 'cause too many people asked Valve to take it out.

Oh, and terrorists can buy C4s too. One terr still gets one at the start of a bomb round, but the terrs who don't can opt to buy one. I think only one bomb can be planted at a time, not sure.

I hate people who vote "dust" on vote servers.

There's like a million servers dedicated to dust. Go on those, fools.


Also, oh man. I thought the shield-haters were just idiot traditionalists that got worried they might actually have to use different tactics now. Yes, few CTs actually worked out how to use the thing, but when it was used properly it was a winner.
The thing forced you to work as a team, with one or two fellows covering their teammates behind. Excellent way to get at snipers, or guys hiding behind boxes. Especially on assault.

And they made for good trophies for the terrorists.

Oh man.

Shields are stupidly imbalanced.

And didn't rainbow six and CS debut in the same year? (1999)

The gameplay in R6 is much much different from that of CS...

No way, shields make things interesting.

CS OFFICIALLY came out in 99, but beta 1 started in 98 iirc.
