Any Half-Life: CounterStrike fans here?
I bought the game a couple of days ago and I am addicted.

1. You just started?!!
OMG I had played it for years and it was awesome! Talk about intense! Are you playing team fortress as well? Playing as a sniper was one of the best times I have had with a game. Get good enough and the right spot and you are untouchable! CounterStrike had a hell of a learning curve for me though,but once I got it it was a 4-6 hour a day thing! Thanks for reminding me! Alas I have no broadband in my new home so I have not played in about 2 years.

3. A big learning curve.

5. My competive nature does not allow dial-up!
I tried but, after the third or fourth "internet lag" kill of me by a noob I almost destroyed a full 1 block radius of my neighborhood with my rage! "You don't win silver, you lose gold".

2. Just wait till you discover the cheaters...
Ruins the whole game, but it is an addictive game.. I have refused to put it on my new computer because I know that I would spend too much time playing it.

4. If you have Unreal Tournament...
you should check out "Tactical Ops"...like CS, but better...(and it came out BEFORE CS, too).

7. I used to play halflife and a whole lot of its mods until...
steam became manditory.

I really cant stand steam, its like police state type programming.

I prefer to install my own updates and downloads rather than having them done automatically.

I also didnt like the fact that it moved my halflife directory to the "steam" directory when I installed it.

9. I haven't played in forever or so.
My current drug of choice is either BF42/DC or BFV. But Counterstrike was awesome! I should play it again.
