And that is why I dont bother with Counter-strike. Maybe its not a "hardcore" or whatever, But atleast I can get some enjoyment out of Black Ops.
The problem with any competitive game that has been out for a long time is that anyone still playing it has dedicated thousands of hours to it and will destroy you.
The worst situation of this happening was when, trying to learn to play a different shooter, I got a K/D ratio of about 0.03

This, oh god. I'd like to call myself a "veteran" CS player, but I'm so goddamn terrible it's amazing (though my brother is incredibly good). Every time, EVERY TIME I am in a shootout with someone, it's duck, shoot burst shots until one person falls, usually meDTWolfwood said:
This one made me laugh, and I haven't even played CS -- but its the principle that counts; I've felt this way about so many games.

Bunny-hopping was amazing from 1.0 to 1.3, 1.4 was the major nerf that destroyed what bunny hopping was. 1.5 and beyond were laughable attempts at jumping. You could never truly bunny-hop in source.BartyMae said:You could bunny-hop all the way up to Source...until they patched it.Kelgair said:
Better not to change than become crap. I'ma looking at you COD..... GOW.... every other sequel made...
Always fun going back to a game you suck at thinking you'll be better only have the same damn issues. I just picked up Crysis again and suddenly I remember why it took me so long to get though the first time (stop,crawl,cloak,crawl,cloak, shoot one guy with a silenced gun and alert every Korean on the island). I guess it's not just me who feels like playing some old favorites this month, I've gone back to Crysis and TF2 which I haven't played in years.
I love the thought process you have in the comic.
"Hey this is just like the the original game! Neat.........Oh right, I can't play that game... Violence!"
Great comic.

Picked up first gen CS during a Steam sale a while back, in the guise of preparing myself for what was to come.
Having maybe one match of Tribes under my belt from 10 years ago, and zero with CS, I was anticipating failure.
I was right.
What I was not expecting is that every server would be so heavily modified that it took upwards of 20 minutes to download all of the special sound and map files before being allowed the privelege of getting headshotted five seconds into the map.
But I will not uninstall. That will be seen as a sign of weakness.

I suck absolute balls at CS. I wouldn't say I prefer COD, but I can walk 2 feet in a map there without getting sniped by someone who's been playing since 1999.
Yep, that's who we have to blame for the current plague of mulyiplayer fanatics on XBOX Live! When CS first came out, did it allow for a gamer chat, and did the players vomit liquid hate into each other's ears too?Griffolion said:
Poor programs. Why not just throw the game disc out the window?Tiamattt said:I can imagine the other programs on that computer sounding like the Portal 2 turrets

Ah counter-strike, the game that made me quit online multiplayer back in 2004 with CS: Source. Lots of good memories attached to this game, but after 3 years of playing and never feeling like I was getting any better I just felt there was better things I could be doing with my time.
