>>never heard of counter strike
how is that possible
euro and third world countries have a huge culture around it
i'm guessing you are an american and were into halo or some shit

makes any other shooter feel easy once you get gud
If you've played any shooter before CS should feel pretty similar. It's one the underpinning games of the genre.

Counter strike was made by Americans autismo

1.5 will always be my favorite because of nostalgia, even though WON sorta sucked compared to Steam.
1.6 is much cleaner and polished, in terms of gameplay, in my opinion, than CS:S or GS:GO.
CS:S is a bit easier, but the gameplay never felt the same, especially after Orange Box came out. It's the only one I really play anymore.
CS:GO is normalfag trash.
If you want to play a WWII game in similar style to 1.6, play Day of Defeat 1.3. It's one of the best shooters of all time.

Day of Defeat: Source was sort of a let down, but I still played the hell out of it.

he wasn't talking about where it was made. back in the day countries like germany, sweden and the netherlands were really big on esports. in some games, the US scene was simply much smaller.
>>36935492
it has never been as popular in the states as it is in euroland or third world countries
USA is the biggest consumer of consoletrash
don't be stupid
>>36935406
not really imo
if you get REALLY gud it makes every other shooter feel completely alien
i remember playing 1.6 exclusively for a long time (like months at a time with no letup) and then switching to ut2k4 all of a sudden and i was terrible because i was using 1.6 logic about how i should be shooting and how much damage a gun might do

dod is the obvious connection but wolf ET is also a pretty good WWII shooter with a lot of similar gameplay/teamwork elements going on
bonus of being free to play
still a few active servers even today

Nice dubs, friend.
Back when I made my Steam account, if you activated a Half-Life CD-key, you would get CS 1.6, Team Fortress, all the Half-Life expansions (or whatever you want to call them), DoD 1.3 and Ricochet.
So for me, DoD 1.3 has always been free to play :^)

shit that's how I got all these games
>>36935229
Halo 1 was a great game.
>>36935979
