What is so special about Counter-Strike?
- Thread starter Jezcentral
- Start date
Sneaking up on someone who's camping with a sniper, going for the satisfying and humiliating backstab with the knife, but because the hit reg can be so bad you have to try several times, at which point the camper turns around and kills you in one shot. Happens to me all the time 
1.3 with bunny hopping was the best
Yup that was my second favourite version of CS, though I did love the older version more that had bugs with the old APC in siege and killing half your team due to collision detection.
Spent so much time with the game and my clan along with making so many other online "friends" that's what made it special for me (UOcUK, OcUK, GSV, GFFM, UKCS, etc). It also didn't have achievements or unlocks that required time to collect so if I wanted I could jump in for a quick few games so it was mostly just skill or teamwork that got the win.
Sadly CSS was never as popular as the original due to various issues with the game and has now had its day thanks to games like CoD, though a few good communities still left for it.

go back to your mw2 with its noobish aim assist and massive hit boxes .
counter strike takes skill to play . if you aint got it move along

It only has aim assist on consoles. Hit boxes aren't that different to CSS.
You can bring the same level of skill to MW2 and dominate (when people aren't lagging like crazy or cheating) the M16A4 with controlled fire and good aim is very powerful and will trump even G18 "noobs" unless they are lagging like crazy.
