Counter-Strike is about as skillful as Twister

Postby James » Sun Oct 12, 08 11:09 am

Anyone who says you need skill to play CS is retarded. I tried taking my shots carefully with pinpoint accuracy, I tried crouching. I tried darting in and out of corners taking a few shots at a time like all the others did. Most of the time, it was neck and neck and didn't work so effectively.

So I picked up the Defender and ran into 5 guys holding down the mouse button and I got 5 headshots. Got called a hacker and I was banned by vote.

Spray > Skill, this is what tournament faggots fail to realise when they refuse to move from M4, AK47 and the desert Eagle. Yet they get raped by spray friendly weapons, AWP or the cheap pump-action shotgun.

The only reason CS was so successful was because things like random cone of fire and instant gib with any gun was new. The cone firing and randomness of the game is such bullshit to a degree its hard to stand. The game is fun and if you are a fan its nice and all. But to say you are in complete control is a lie.

And about the skill, the only way to master the game is to remember the pattern of fire, take the AK47 for example. The pattern of fire makes the gun jerk up. So in order to master headshots with it, you start at the chest or neck and fire. Yet this isn't definite and you'd kill faster with burst fire with the M4 or mad sprays with the Defender.

On a related note, did you know the only reasons why people picked the Desert Eagle and the AK47 is because they have a higher priority than other weapons to get headshots?, it's true. This is in CS 1.6 and CSS, the weapons with slower rate of fire/inaccuracy have a higher chance per bullet that falls within the hitboxes that makes them easier to headshot with. Yes I did say chance, there is no such thing as true accuracy as mentioned above.

The only competition is in leagues, but they'd get pissed when you play Dust2, and absolutely desecrate them in the tunnel with the pump action shotgun and a flash.

Want skill?, headshot an AWPer with the UMP. It takes 6 shots to kill with the UMP from that range. You'll achieve God Mode.

For crapping out loud

CSS takes skill, EVERY GAME TAKES SOME FORM OF SKILL

YOU CANNOT MEASURE SKILL

I'm tired of stupid motherfuckers on the internet trying to legislate skill. Jay I am dissapointed in you.

Skill is control and expertise, how can you be skillful when you're not in control?

Counter-Strike sucks. I don't need to back up my claims because I'm that fucking good.

Team Fortress 2 owns all you mother fuckers who play Counter Strike. Play TF2 or the Gods shall kick your fucking ass in the afterlife. End of story.

Do you read what you type or do you just pound your face on the keyboard?

Buying the ticket on your steam account to play their games forever is the same as buying a disc.

Remove the 'Your logic is so fucked.' bit, it would have alot more effect that way.

But yes, I agree.

Honestly, I didn't mind it LAN. But playing LAN isn't always viable, and it didn't erase my opinions on it's shittyness.

LAN CS is the only good form of CS i know of, and only because we don't actually play proper CS, we stick to Zombie Servers, Glass Maps or Gun Games.

I've felt with LAN it's easier to communicate as well. That and I don't get kicked off every fucken server when I join it.

Like I said, play TF2 or die.

But even with the reaction times, and super accuracy you still have a CHANCE system working against you.

Call of Duty has no chance system though, accuracy (including hitbox)/latency/damage/reaction times all count. No bullshit.
