hell where is the WoW beta that would beat that game into oblivion..
he said Online game..
he did not specify non MMO..

So you're saying that, HL (a >6 yr old game) with almost 100k players on is "old and tired?"
:roll:

I think that's pretty amazing that a game so old could survive this long.
Starcraft is another oldie that has withstood the test of time.

It's all about gameplay, and not always about genre or graphics.

well there in lies the problem for me...
I much prefer the gameplay of BF/DC for a shooter... or BFV with that new modern mod (cant remeber the name)
those to me are 500x the game CS ever was..
CS was rife with cheaters shooting through walls and aimbots.... not to mention the game is very dry to me...
round play sucks...
much rather have a game like UT2004 onslaught for non stop action...

Sorry CS sucks... just becasue 100k lil kids skill like it doesnt make it a great game...

(and yes it seems like there are more high schoolers and grade schoolers playing CS than any other demgraphic.) unless its just that the average IQ drops 60000000000 points once they get on CS...

It's absurd to blame the game itself because it is exploited by those who program/use hacks.

I like the game because it promotes teamwork and strategy (even in pub, when not played with hackers/losers who TK or flash teamates, etc.).
Try joining a league or just playing a 5v5 scrim one day.

You are obviously the type that likes holding down the trigger (aka noob cannon) and instant respawn.
To each his own.

And I bet there's a higher percentage of "kids" older than 20 that play CS than other FPS'.
There's a reason it's so popular in professional tournaments.

Depressing to see so many warez votes...after all the time and money valve has spent on this...

And one guy on a forum complaining about some cheaters doesn't make it a bad game. The numbers show its popularity.

Constant re-spawning sucks. There's no real deterrant from attacking like mad because you know that when you get killed you have to wait only 5 seconds to be back in the action.
