A great Fps that is put down by its popularity, so when they see 1 hacker/lamer all hell breaks loose and counter strike "must be" filled with hackers, when obviously it isn't.

Main aims: 1.
If you die there cheating.
2.If you get shot and you can't see them wall hack.
3.Headshot must be a aim bot.
Thats the basic's of counter strike. gg tbh
Lame hackers, and cheats play counter strike. Umm how come I never see any?

An extremely popular mod for the Half-Life PC game in which the terrorist team tries to place a bomb as the counter terrorist team keeps them from doing so. Also referred to as CS.
I was playing Counter-Strike last night when a bunny-hopping n00b deagled me.

A game where you go around, shooting people.
Eventually it all comes to mind.

You then start saying stuff like "LAWL" and"ROFL".
Then you go to school and start talking about guns.
*Then you start doing crazy and mental shit.

*Only 11 year olds that have played since they were 8.

COUNTER-STRIKE-NERD ON MIC: LAWL YOU GUYS SUCK, ROFILL!

ANOTHER CS GUY: How old are you dude?

CS-NERD: ahhh...16.

CS GUY: You sound 11.

CS-NERD: ...SHAME I JUST POWNED YOU.

Quite possibly the best core FPS game ever created.

Counter-Strike was originally a Half-Life Mod created back in 1999 until it picked up enough momentum to become a separate game.
Anyone who was a kid in the 90's played this game to hell and as a direct result, became good or at least decent at EVERY computer-based FPS in existence.

1.6 was the shit.
1. No laggy hit-boxes.
2. Legit Walling.

Eventually, Source came out and most of the players moved to there due to the better graphics (Srs.)
Counter-Strike lost a ton of momentum when CAL disappeared and when Steam fucked up the hit-boxes even more. But even today (2010), CS is still one of the most popular FPSes available.

New players SHOULD expect to get owned on a daily basis on nearly every server because most of the players have been playing Source since its inception. Also, the learning curve for CS is relatively steep, which is why raging noobs will always remain raging noobs.

However, those who decide to persevere and become great players will find that they will suddenly become good at any and every FPS.

By the way, every CS is not meant for sXe's. Everyone is a pot-head and there's a 90% chance that you're playing against someone who is high/drunk/rolling as shit and still beating the piss out of you.

And derogatory names for black people are used in any and every CS situation. (idk why, it's part of the culture.)
Life of a CS player.

An addicting game combining the art of shooting terrorist with shooting little 5 year olds. Around with Counter-strike comes 1337 and those who laugh at the old farts that can't read it cause they are retarded. A game bent on getting pissed off and shooting a bunch of kids that like to scream in microphones all day long.

A great stress reliever, highly addictive, and very fun.
I've played for 2 years, people bash it but its cause they suck and most good people agree that this game is ub3r.
