CS Players are annoying

I have a friend, whom I'm ashamed to say, is a hardcore Counter Strike player. I was at his house one day watching him play. He was getting rocked and at first, blamed it on his FPS. He said he was lagged cause he was ONLY getting 100fps. So he closed the game and reopened and started playing again, but luckily he was at 125fps now. Which is great since he's like a cat or something. He was still getting rocked, but this time blamed it on the lag he had. He had a whopping 21ms ping. Needless to say, I turned his monitor off and gave him a real reason to lose.

Anybody else know anybody like that? It's the most annoying thing. Saying he can see a difference between 18ms and 21ms and between 100fps and 120fps. I just don't see how it has that great of an affect on that game. I've played it once and was unimpressed. When I played it, it was on a slow comp that was getting like a 40ms ping and probably 70fps. I'm just guessing, but it seemed just fine to me.

CS WAS fun. It looks pretty crappy now days but the basic gameplay is still a blast. I haven't played in about a year.

It is full of n00bs blaming the fact that they suck on hardware and cheaters.

I am damn good at CS and often get my @$$ reamed by online gamers. Its usually just 1 or 2 guys on a server who own me. I'm sure they are normal joes like me who just have more skill.

The reason he was getting rocked is because of the people he was playing. To answer your question, I do know people like that but we make fun of them for blaming the game & they stop doing it.

I havn't played CS in at least a couple years.. I don't miss all the pissing and moaning that went on in that game. For some odd reason I don't see too much complaining in BF1942, BFV, or UT2004.

Wow I would have knocked you the f*ck out if you turned my monitor off during a game or something.

I was cal-m when I was on my P3 600mhz Geforce 2 64mb and on Earthlink DSL.
Needless to say, your friend has anger displacement issues and sucks in CS big time. :gift:

it just pains me to see people get this way about a game. i don't even think i've played a computer game in about 3 months. heck, i still haven't even tried far cry. but yeah, he sucks hardcore.

when i played cs in college it was a lot of fun (during the days of the original UT). so that must've been many years ago. i have no idea how things are now, but i wouldnt mind playing a game now.....

Hmm hopefully CS: Source will give the game some life (yeah just graphics/physics changes but maybe they'll add some anti cheating stuff too)

what does that have to do with "CS players?" I can see your friend is whiny and a lousy looser and probably shouldn't be allowed to play games (at least not FPS) but I play CS and I don't whine. In fact no one I play wth does. CS is still fun if you get the right server, most pubs have whiners in them but that doesn't make the CS community a bunch of whiners

i went to a lan cafe and seen people start fights over it. constant bitching. this was well over a year ago though, but just looking at my buddy, it makes me think it's all the same. guess i'm being prejudice, but wow!

BTW- 60 FPS is seamly quality. anything above that would most likely not be noticed. He just was not as good as the competition- guess he just didn't want to admit it :)

Yeah man, CS players are annoying. I played it years ago with a 56k TNT2 Ultra and a k6-2. The game worked fine with me but I havent seen it now since the broadband revolution. But I definately know what you mean, CS is annoying. Every two minutes someone complains of cheating and of course they'll say they weren't and an online verbal (can you even say verbal since its typed?) fight ensues. Of course the fight gets nowhere since both geeks refuse to leave the server and can't really do anything to back up their words...

well, most people talk on their mics on that game. so you have verbal insults. when i said fight, btw, i mean fight. they took it outside. nothing funnier than seeing 2 geeks go at it over a stupid game.
