- Start date
Been playing this game for 10 years has been nuts even though I took a break from it back in 2007/8. A video and friend and I always loved was Pubmasters.

God, I can believe how many matches I did on this map. Good times. Started right before the transition to Source and then played for around 2 years. Met great people and had a fun time. Will never forget.
Was around 10 years ago for but it somehow feels like it was longer ago.

Its one shot killing bodyshot sniper rifle and lack of rocket jumping makes that claim dubious. But it does hold the crown under the veil of FPS games that try to incorporate some guise of realism.
Here's to more years of snotty pubbers playing dust endlessly.

...have I really been playing CS before "day one"? It seems very not too long ago.

Used to ghost the shit out of cs_assault with a bud. Air vent shenanigans. Fun times.
Keeping a k/d ratio of 2:1 on the public servers I frequented.
Being in the top 5 on the public servers I frequented.
Winning a 1vs8 situation on a public server. Me and my awp against 8 people rushing me, it was such a rush of adrenaline to actually win that.
Going 26-0 once for an entire map (30 min map time).
Last thing would be playing against a guy belonging to the Swedish elite, and said guy became convinced I was one of the players in NiP, Eyeballers or SK because of my performance against his team in a pcw (think you in NA called it a scrim). He didn't believe me at first either when I said I was somebody else. Made me realise I had gotten really good at the game.

Yeah, I could never get into playing CSS after playing 1.6 and prior versions for so many years, but the transition to GO has been painless for the most part (I WANT SPAM SPOTS BACK)

bind for one press of everything you need.
counter-strike was so iconic, EmptySpace called the guns by their menu keys. 4-1 was the ak47 (as in four-one). snipers were the 4-5 and 4-6. smg was 3-1, big-ass machine gun was the 5-1, and so on.

rocket jump, fuck that we got strafe jumping when valve don't fuck us over on updates.
Awp has quite a few flaws. Only is one hit in some areas and most of the one shot guns require hs and considering the hitboxes if you do it you should get rewarded for it. Awps suck in short to medium range fights even if you can no scope due to firing rate. Flash bang and awper in camping spot or pick spot usually is death in decent competitive matches.
Oh God, Counter-Strike.
At my college, all you had to say was "CS?" or "Play CS?" and you would find college kids willing to play all day and then get an hour of sleep before their 8 am class. We would have LAN tournaments (I placed third or fourth in one I played in) and it was just amazing. I would then play on a server with some guys from Atlanta with my RA. Although everyone liked de_dust, my favorite was always cs_italy and de_train.
I would had a better GPA if it were for that damn CounterStrike!

Yeah, I knew it was wrong for sure. On 9/11 2001 I was in Bangkok and my flight home got canned because of the attacks, so I went and played Counter Striker in a internet cafe to pass time. So I knew it was more than 10 for sure.

yeah, i started playing I think .3 when that was in. It was hilarious to see the death ball of people trying to pick up their guns.

Had fun playing this in college. I had fun with pretty much all of the maps though italy was a personal favorite if only for the chickens.
I was partial to the deagle & m4 as my guns.

When I played Counter Strike day and night the menu looked like this.
psssh
I remember when it used to look like
back when the screens changed per release
Also, cs_siege, back when it had the APC, was THE best shit ever. I loved hiding underneath the elevator like a sneaky fucker.

Remember when "gun running" was a thing in CS? =P
There would always be some goof who would drive it into the ravine though.
I remember the early versions of Siege when people were able to camp in the sniper tower on the CT side.

Ice world was perfect for me as a beginner: just one big box to run around, grabbing weapons, and shoot the hell out of one another with minimal camping. And of course given how small the map was, there was nothing like being run over by the other team and only to get shelled with bases the next round.
Yea I think it was 7. I was trying to find an image from like 3 or 4, but I couldn't find it (it was like crosshairs looking at a fire escape/window)
edit: maybe I'm mixing the splash screens for 5 & 1 together
oh man, great feels just came back remembering that lol
I've never been able to understand why some people *cough*noobs*cough* hate the awp so much. I loved that weapon. It took a lot more skill to use it well than the ak/colt.
Rwa, the Swedish awp god, was my big inspiration. Dude had INSANE reflexes: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PUkUxjbzGIQ

I decided to try this game out back during GO's beta last year.
This shit's crack, yo.
This shit's crack, yo.
GO is definitely NOT crap by any stretch.
Ontopic been playing since about 1.5 days, im a rats/ficeworld man myself
Same. Office was fun map as well. Mansion and 747 were also good maps but didn't get played too often.
Hated Dust since it very difficult map if you had uneven teams. Dust 2 on the other hand slowly became one of my favorites.
i just cant stand the models, the weapons, the sounds the overall impression of the game.
Sad that i came so far but when i play GO i dont feel like im playing counterstrike. what have they done to the shooting. The satisfaction of killing someone is just not there. its so stale..
Its just not the real deal for me.

I remember being a terrorist in siege, gathering all the hostages and running them to the counter terrorist start point, hiding in the tower to snipe the CT's when the finally realized the hostages were missing... then waiting for the timer to tick down to about 3 seconds at which point i'd jump from the tower into the canyon, but time would elapse before i hit the ground and died... Victory.
I started playing in the summer of 99 if I recall correctly, I remember that one of the very early vip maps was set in the jungle with machine gun nests on a bunker (?) Anyone remembers that?
The game started getting too serious and WAYYYYY too hardcore e-sport after a couple of years and that's when I lost interest. They started removing maps from the official lineup because they were not super serious e-sport worthy. I kinda stopped playing when they removed cs_thunder from the lineup, and that was shorthy after vip mode was removed.
VIP mode was so much fun!

This. So depressingly this.
