why do you people hate CS??? you still like games on the super nintendo which have MUCH worse graphics than CS, i love that game, i've spent MANY hours on a network w/friends and family tearin it up on those maps, so what if the graphics aren't as good as brand new games? oh wait, brand new games SHOULD have better graphics than older games, remember Duke 3D? yeah, that game is the same for me, fun as **** and i spent many hours w/friends and family on it, along w/quake, unreal tournament, half-life... you guys can't judge a game by graphics at ALL, personally i like CS better than JKII cuz in CS when i shoot someone in the head they die, in JKII i can get shot and blown up and still come out of the smoke swingin that blue blade of mine, it's realism factor is supposed to be the fact that you don't get to get shot 20 times and live and go get health, you get shot in different areas w/diferent guns and it does different ammounts of damage, maybe it's just me but i LOVE that game, so do ALL of my friends and most of my bros, so if you're thinkin about flamin me, eat a dick cuz everyone has their own opinion

he hasn't, if you quote his message you can see that he has an html link that he puts at bottom of all messages rather than having it in his siggy, easy to do, just make a yext file with the link in it and put it at the bottom of all messages.

The things that detracts from the "real world experience" in CS is that you can get shot in the head and still survive. And it takes like what, 7 rounds to stop a person from moving? That's just sick...

 

But it all boils down to the whole gaming mentality around CS: 13 year-old geeks calling everyone a n00b... n00b this, n00b that... l33t awmp skillz there, deagle "ownership" over here.... etc....

 

When most people think of computer gamers - they think of CS-gamers, and what might follow.

 

CS-playas are so damn inbred you'd think it was a joke... GET UP AND PLAY SOME OTHER GAMES!

i'm gonna try to stay calm as i post this reply, NOT EVERYONE playing counter-strike is a 13 yr. old geek w/no life, i'm 16, i swim play baseball and run track for ec activities and hang out w/my friends almost every night, but i also play CS, am i a 13 yr. old geek? no i guess not, neither are my bros or any of my friends that play CS, it's people like YOU, cjais, that make games unenjoyable for people, cuz people like YOU will get on a game play it for a while say it sucks, maybe bring out a few bad points in it, suggest a better game, then leave, then others will follow cuz they want to be where there's more people and those of us who actually like games for play value get a little upset that no one likes it anymore, JKII has no replay value in sp and its easy to beat, at least in CS you don't NEED an internet connection to enjoy it, my bro got a cd w/the bots on it and it's fun as hell, also, in CS it depends on what gun you use when killing someone whether they withstand 4-5 shots or just one, no one lasts 7 shots w/o having body armor and getting shot in an extremety, a head shot kills you, maybe you missed? CS is one of the greatest ever made, who cares about graphics, not me, i still love to play older PC games, i.e. warcraft 2? CS has great gameplay, better than JKII, it's a better game than JKII overall, and is CERTAINLY better than TFC, that sucks

yeah anakin i agree with you.....i paly soccer, cross cournty, rifle team, orienterring, and i am 15, so i neither am a 13 year old geek, but i LOVE cs, JO has some better stuff but cs is more fun to me becasue you are not just killing the people you have to use strategy with it, i think the game play is great also

 

 

 

and cjas....and in JO you can get hit with a lightsaber multiple times and shot with a rocket launcher but you can still live.....

I don't think of CS as total realism; go run to j00r tom clancy games for that!

 

CS is more "action realism" and No I do not mean Action Half Life or Opera what with Diving with Sniper Rifles and Shotguns.

 

It's like the Flight Sims that aren't really all that realistic; designed to make you feel like you are flying something but with a faster pace.

 

CS has a fast pace; faster than any TFC or Half-Life DM lifespan; but slow enough (limited by max speed holding a gun) to actually include any strategy. This makes a player value his life and actually fear the 2 minute waiting period that looms ever so close by loss of HP.

 

Jah: Graphics don't make the game, otherwise people would've dumped it a long time ago. Sorta like StarCraft!!! People are still playing it (I think) despite other RTSs that have 3d Acceleration and zoom in/out capability.

 

The only thing that is a thorn in CS's side is 1) the population and 2) cheating accusations.

 

With the huge fanbase there are alot of honest, skilled people who play the game for fun and with them comes alot of unskilled people who enjoy being jerks to the former. This is what creates the talk of so many "idiots'' on CS; while the regular player to idiot ratio could be the exact same as any game; you just see more of them.

 

Cheating accusations are killing the game; people ignore the fact that Valve is working 24/7 on their Anticheat and cheaters are being banned from all secure servers for an entire day each time they are caught. With accusations come arguments and counter arguments, they ruin your game and makes you want to turn off your PC in disgust.

 

That said, just remember how many people flame Jk2 patches in the Valley; they must be proportional to how many people whine about AWP whores or decreased bunny jumping.... :D

also, you can't just categorize eveyone who plays CS as a 13 yr. old geek, that's rude to the rest of us and i don't like being called names cuz you had some bad experiences w/CS players in the past, me, my bros, and my friends have never cheated at CS or many other games for that matter (only if we're stuck and have tried the part we're stuck at MANY MANY MANY times and immediately take the cheats off) so don't go saying everyone who plays ANY game a 13yr old geek unless you've seen and gotten to know all of the players in person, you notice i didn't cuss in this post? that means i'm trying to get my point across and be nice at the same time, so if you flame me, i'm gonna make you contradict yourself and possibly embarass yourself by proving you wrong in more ways than one

Well I know that this is off subject but who cares.

 

I just read a thread with something about a ROTC program. Im in ROTC too!:D

I'm in AFJROTC. Thats cool to see that other people here are in it too!

 

I am the Armed Drill Team Commander and the Honor Guard Commander. I am also a Senior! Where in San Diego did you visit Ep2 Anakin? I live about 40 minutes north off San Diego. I don't know if I am a very good shot but I can do some pretty crazy a$$ *hit with a M1 Garand!

 

I plan to join the Marine Corp. after HS and hopefully I might make it onto the Silent Drill Platoon!:D

Well the thing is we are two persons.

So we put two diffrent opinnions in one sentence.

 

Atleast one person who noticed it,

that something was'nt right:D

 

But to be clear "Mi" likes M O H because of the graphics.

And "Ma" likes D.O.D. beter because of the game play.

 

Was a bit poorly written i reccon.;)

Hey hey... I never flamed or cursed at anyone in that post of mine I reckon.... :confused:

 

About the 13 yr old geek issue: I called them that because most of the hardcore CS-players I've seen WERE 12 or 13 years old, or, at least acted like one...

 

And how can you become "stuck" in counter strike? Because you aren't winning? :confused:

 

Yes, I generalized and I am sorry... When you do the same, I'll come in and wipe ya a** off the forums... j/k...

 

Now go ahead and make me contradict myself :)

well, you're not one of them *******s that's all like "**** you you ****in piece of ****!..." and so on and so forth, so there's no need to;) :p

i'm in NJROTC and in SD we stayed at MCRD just this last year and Coronado my freshman year, all together we visited the SEAL base, both shipyards: the one w/the big ****in medical ship(got to tour that) and the one w/the troop drop ships, we also got to ride in the LCAC simulator, six flags in LA, and the big NEX that's somewhere bum****in i don't know, that town's too big for me, and they have signs: Speed Limit 55, everyone drives 80, including our bus driver who had a suit case full of liquor and was drunk half the time, he hit a deer before we even got 50mi. from home and also almost hit a giant goddamn moose, that woulda ended the trip, my instructors are badass so it makes the trip even more fun, but my 2 best friends left for the marines so i don't know who will be on the trips w/me this year:(
