I was still young when I was a hit and I sucked at it. My old brother used to play it almost everyday after school and he failed one year of high school because of that, so my parents gave away our PC and I never played PC games until I was 19 I bought my own computer.

COD is bigger here.Sorta like soccer vs football.

Yeah, internet cafes where huge LAN games were a thing. I spent a ton of money buying hours to play. Kinda weird in retrospect but not everyone had a decent PC in the 1.3 days.

CS 1.6 is still a pretty big thing even if a big part of players moved to CSGO

>>53410675
It still is

daily reminder that CS is a dumbed down Quake - Unreal Tournament.

CS was the original COD

>>53411746
This so much,playing with all my friends there was great, i don't regret a dime i spent there, then everyone got PC's and shit and kids will never experience being called a faggot shithead irl for a headshot, i susspect this is why people are so sensitive to words now adays

>>53410675
It was pretty popular here all the way from the early 2000's to 2010.

There's probably still some servers alive here.

>>53410675

That takes me back. Used to know one guy who was always badmouthing CS because it wasn't "a real twitch shooter".

Circa 2005

>>53410675
I love CS and now I play CSGO like everyday
There's community here but sadly Dota is more popular among Asians

1.3 was the high point, all the different weapon types were useful and headshots were difficult to get. 1.5 was shit, colt or ak only really good weapons, spraying to get headshots, 1.6 was shit with shields, which were kind of fun because of how they pissed everyone off.

DH CS is aired on national telly (and one commercial channel, channel 6) ever since 1.6 so yes

I was kinda mad about the derank wave btw

in 2002 WCG a hun team beat team3D in the group stages

everyone was fapping to that
literally everyone was playing CS for a short time

YES, it was (not that cs go bullshit)
More than 10 years ago, when only a small amount of people could afford a pc, everyone played at computer clubs. As I remember it was about 10 rubles for 1 hour (it was REALLY cheap). Clubs were full of people, kids, teenagers, adults. At that moment there was cs 1.5 or something. That old menu with a CT guy with a helmet. My personal favorite maps were cs_assault and cs_mansion. Every one played it.

Hm, I remember we played Doom2 in mid-90s in school computer class. CS was popular later, when I stopped playing FPS

Started playing in primary school. Since I was a kid it was always Superhero mod, Pokemon mod, Warcraft mod, Surf or kz instead of real CS.

Aus pro CS is worse than NA. I've sat and watched my Global neighbour solo queue on ESEA and beat 5 man pre-made teams that compete.

This Tbh. Glock always felt dinky and shitty. USP and AK felt much more accurate. M4 had that weird zig zag spray whereas the AK you could spray at chest level and the second bullet would be at head level.

>>53427688
>there are people in the world RIGHT now who have hit ever something in their lives with the Scout
I shit you not, I'm jinxed when I use that piece of crap, I never hit a single fucking thing even when I'm crouching still and aiming at a static target. On the other hand I'm the kind of person that can rambo their way through a round with a heavy machine gun, I also love the MP5 and in CS:GO the Bizon for cheap, effective bulletization of the scene of conflict.

Counter strike was so fun at the net cafe we began having recreations in Darfur.

The only multiplayer shooter I had more fun with was BF2. Was BF2 a thing in other cunts? The squad and commander system in that game were so good when people bothered to use them. Haven't played 3 or 4 though, I heard they're bad somehow.

Those were the days when computers were nearly obsolete after two years. I've upgraded my almost five years old PC in autumn and haven't even replaced half the parts, and it was mainly for heat and noise issues, not performance.

>tfw bought CS:GO
>never played it

>>53427688
USP always seemed to have less recoil and higher fire rate. The aim also was precise. Much the same with M4.
Glock is only good if you have perfect aim and use the burst fire.
Scout a shit. You can't 360 noscope headshot with that shit.

I built a computer for the first time 2 years after BF2 came out. It was amazing going from small static maps in CS to huge 64 player maps where you need planes or helicopters unless you want to spend an hour walking across the map, tanks and artillery and resupply drops, there are goddamn aircraft carriers with aircraft and anti-air guns, and there was true sniping with bullet drop (that glorious feel when someone is sprinting and jumping to cover a mile away and you can barely see them but you lead them with the crosshair an inch above and ahead of them and get a headshot somehow). Too bad the online community turned to crap soon after with everyone playing only karkand map and no squad/commander collaboration.

>>53428778

Sure, every boy from the age of 8-20 played it in its heyday. I was around 12-13 at the time and I along with my friends were hooked. It didn't get much TV coverage of course since gaming was still a shunned hobby, not like today with e-sports shows, streams etc. Some guys even made a map of parts of my home town and our school. I had been playing it since some time in the beta and it just kept getting better. Then Condition Zero came...urgh.

That said I never got BR and Russian fascination with games like CS (and others). I guess because it was so cheap and easy to play.

My PCs always were shit for CS. First one was built in 2003, CS:S lagged like crazy. Then I bought a laptop in 2008, damn Core2Duo couldn't do shit in games. After that I bought another laptop in 2012, with nice and dandy i7 this time. But it's not that good anymore because, you know, it's 2016. But I have no money for a new one after Russian economy went down the hill. I hope I'll manage to buy some decent PC in 2018 or 2019.

cafes here were so awesome before good internet/pcs started being easily accessible

sadly they are pretty much dead now, at least where i live

you would go there in a saturday morning and only come home late night. it was such a great time.

we mainly played warcraft 3 TFT, cs1.5/1.6, C&C, diablo 2, age of empires 2. those were the best lan games at the time

Thanks for the offer anon, but I would make a shitty friend. I never know what to say and a childhood of being told no one cares what I had to say left me irreversibly feeling the same towards others. Besides, I don't play games anymore. I haven't enjoyed it in years. Don't know if it's just me or if games are just shitty now (actually tried GTA V a few weeks ago but was extremely disappointed compared to the ps2 generation GTAs)

Like you said, yes, but I think it's coming back

Also, playing CS and Dota in netcafes were certainly the best moments in my life

>>53431453
Most of that stuff applies to a lot of people here but one thing I realized is that people are extremely perceptive of your projected confidence.

Just relax, don't attach any value (I mean zero value) to the opinions of others and you went place undue expectations on yourself (to acquire their friendship).

>(actually tried GTA V a few weeks ago but was extremely disappointed compared to the ps2 generation GTAs)
I know this feel. I will never live that youthful joy and innocence of playing GTA during middle school and high school. Now I feel like games are just a procession.

I recently begun learning other languages and playing games without any competitive pressure and purely for my OWN enjoyment. I advise you to do the same

Steam was, and still mostly is, fucking garbage. I understand their reasoning for shutting down WON but fuck for the average schmuck there was no reason to. It didn't even work half the time. Also CZ and 1.6 were shit.

>>53431682
>Just relax, don't attach any value (I mean zero value) to the opinions of others and you went place undue expectations on yourself (to acquire their friendship).
Easier said than done, but even when I'm successful at it I just have no idea what to respond to people with other than very short answers, let alone think of things to talk about. My mind is a blank.
>I recently begun learning other languages and playing games without any competitive pressure and purely for my OWN enjoyment. I advise you to do the same
Listening to language tapes when exercising is fun and makes it go by faster. I've given up on games though. I even tried The Witcher and MGS Ground Zeroes and couldn't get into them (even though MGS1-3 were some of my favorite games ever).

Super popular, especially in southern france.

People going to café or playing at home, tons of small LANS.
Eventually it grew with a french community with memes and all.

Also idk if this one was already posted but it's a classic

>My mind is a blank.
Same thing used to happen to me. I stopped placing that hovering 'I am going to disappoint them' thought on the top of my head and acted completely naturally. I figured, if they'll hate me for what I truly am, they're not worth having as friends. Try it once and you'll begin developing confidence, anon. Once they see something genuine and nice in you they'll reveal their own shortcomings and open up to you.

I also have the aussie shitposting mentoring to thank. No one would believe a true Sudanese poster wouldn't try to appease people on an online forum because of his background and shithole
>muslim
>black
But I broke through that with rampant shitposting and in the process had a lot of nice conversations with people from America, France, Faroe Islands, expatriates in Japan, menabros, etc.

I think you should try it. You'll have a lot of fun in the process and you'll gradually stop putting other people's opinions ahead of your own self-evaluation.

I underwent the same transition. I used 4chan as an expressive outlet because there was no time limit and pressure to carefully compose my posts, but later with practice I improved immensely IRL. I began reading tech websites and discussing the latest news with people outside the mobile phone and computer.

And best of luck anon on all future endeavours, hopefully we'll meet another time (maybe even oustide 4chan, who knows) :)

>>53427688
I was a source babby
USP, even though the Glock was pretty based in pistol rounds, dem burst fire jumping shots

Famas and USP are based m8, mp5s are good to mow down enemies in eco rounds. If you die, the enemies just have a shitty mp5 instead of a real rifle.

Speeds were slower back then I don't think that's a surprise. You always pay a price for convenience, I'm just sad that so many people were willing to pay that price. People new to the hobby don't even have any idea of downloading patches piece meal since every company has some sort of launcher or distribution platform. Easier to control.

It's been more than a few years but honestly was there anything wrong with 1.5? I never played pro so I'm probably overlooking things but it just felt like a really solid game where nothing really needed to be changed. Then came 1.6 and Source and so on and it never really made any sense to me.
