Anyone else can't STAND CS:S?

I used to play counter strike a LOT in high school (~8 years ago) and I loved it.

I recently played CS:S and I noticed that money is no longer limited on most servers, thus leading all T to get the AK or AWP and all CT to get M16 or AWP.

This has made the game essentially no fun for me and it might as well be a paintball match because everyone uses the same guns! I used to get by on the losing team with just an HE grenade and a deagle.

What happened?

I've always hated CS:S. One of the worst FPS games imo. You can practically shoot their foot and get a headshot...
find a good server, though alot of community based servers do the game for fun not for competitiveness so find a clan server not one that looks like a community server. Also from my experince not everyone does that, you will often find me rushing with a P90, TMP or Mac10 as the M16 sucks for a one man rush.

but hating CSS just isnt cool dude, its still at the top of the FPS pile and after trends like CoD die down everyone returns to the light
It's a low end game from a long time ago.
I don't really like it much but it's all my laptop can handle other than Killing Floor and TES: Morrowind.

They really need a CS 2. Just give new weapons, attachments, armor options, custom cammo, better AI, a level editor, and Maybe... just maybe, add in like a bomb disarming robot and stuff. lol

First off, there are a million public servers with all variations starting with $800 or $16000 so don't limit yourself to servers that you don't like the setup.

Secondly, play competitive scrims through mIRC and you will not find any 16k matches.

Thirdly, deagle + armor is my favorite setup I have been using it exclusively for the last week, saving up my money and picking up weapons off the ground from the people I kill

Fourth, check my CS:S guide it may make you better or give you some ideas... at least get my autoexec if nothing else

Weird hit boxes bug me in that game, along with exactly what you stated. I find a lot of source games to be like that, for instance tf2, though not half as bad as c:ss. I don't see how it is fun to fight people with awp's who camp from the next town over..

LOL, only if you lag tits all over the place.

At any rate, you should stop going to terrible pub servers and confine your play to mIRC scrimmages, league play, or even *gasp* ESEA.

lol use anti awp tactices, strafe jump crouch and make it irratic you will be almost impossible to kill unless you turn it into a pattern. Awpers tend to be easy to kill if you find them first, but its called tactics. There is no perfect sniping spot in the game, every positon can be flanked you just might have to kill the guy guarding the snipers back.

and thats not true there are plenty of great pub servers, what you talk about is more for competitive play, some people play to have fun not compete im one of them, im a casual, I used to play competitively and I just got bored with it, going into community 100 tick servers is 100x more fun. All the really good players get burned out after a time, on an old server of mine before they closed we had a few people from team3d come in just to play with us cause they wanted to play for fun not just for money.

That didn't bother me that much about it. The reason I never play it is because people try to take it too seriously. Far too seriously. It's just a damn game, quit pretending it's the end of the world if you don't pwn everyone in the server. eitljtiyk

Good, more servers need to be based on fun. People taking CSS too seriously is why I don't play it anymore.

Blah blah blah Awp camper awp campers.

Honestly its all you ever hear from people that can't use the gun.

Heres the facts:

FACT: You can kill anyone with any gun in the game.
FACT: If you miss an awp shot, you are completely vulnerable for the next 2 seconds while it reloads leaving you open for death to an AK/M4.
FACT: You can make an awp'er miss, strafe out and kill him while he is reloading.
FACT: You can smoke an awp'er and take his choke point very easily.
FACT: It is a gun, and it doesn't make a player better than another simply because they are using it.
FACT: If you ever used the awp, you would know its much more than a noob cannon it takes a lot of skill and to be upset about someone using a gun just shows that you are lacking in your own gameplay.

yep but if you totally hate dealing with awps go to a no awp/auto server, and just get scouted lol

Well, I'm not even talking about playing competitively, though that's my personal preference. I suppose my argument supports native gameplay...the only game modifications I can tolerate are GunGame and bhop servers.

It is hard these days to find a decent $800 server, after the influx of SourceInvite pubs and the like.

I find plenty myself try webkillers out just dont use 2 or 8 there mods like giving money, but the only thing you download is some audio files and mani. Also you can visit some clan servers i cant remember the specific one off the top of my head but they are community based clan lol but start at 800 and use mani. A pure CSS server without admin plugins is a little bland and a pain to work wtih

I'll come online and post a bunch of my saved favorite servers in a thread later.

$800 servers (w/ friendly fire)
$800 servers (no friendly fire)
$16k servers (w/ friendly fire)
$16k servers (no friendly fire)
Deathmatch servers (pistols)
Deathmatch servers (all guns)
Gun game servers

I really wish people would play more militia though i love that map
Every other pose pretty much sums up what I was going to say, if you cant find a server that you like then you arent looking hard enough.

The awp is a weapon that takes a lot of skill and practice, if a "noob" is killing you with it then perhaps you should work on your own gameplay instead of complaining about his/hers.
