Ahh Counter Strike
Started playing from 1.0 on the PC right through to 1.6 and beyond. By the time source came out there were far too many dodgy people and anyone and everyone had figured out the best way to manipulate the console settings. But the old days. Ahh, the old days.
Talking around 2001 or 2002 and headsets had just started going mainstream. I stayed with a mate and we had the LAN set up, prmarily for CS but there were some other good things as well. We got right into Empire Earth for a few months. Sitting regularly til 6 or seven in the mornin.
But the buzz mostly came from counter strike sessions that would last days sometimes.
Unemployment mixed in with part time work and LOADS of hash.
To this day there is no game that can get close to the buzz of being the last man In the team with near no health and taking out the entire opposition through smart play, quiet movement, some decent aiming and a shitload of luck. I miss that game. Global offensive has potential to be the best port of it onto console but its useless until they patch it. Which they won't.
