The simplest, therefore, the greatest of First Person Shooter games. Two teams, Counterterrorists and Terrorists, going at each other where the end result is that the opposing team is splattered across the map and your team is victorious.
Unlike most FPS's these days, there is still unlimited variety in what modes and maps you can play on CS. Unlike the media-hyped CoD, Halo, etc other series, there's more innovation and imagination in making and playing CS instead of just glitching and recording worthless kills (*Cough machinma Cough*).
No automatic knives once you get close enough, no dumb killstreak rewards that does the killing for you, no vehicles that run you over, no power armor. Just you, your weapon, and an instinctual gauge as to what is a successful shot.
Like ANY other game, you have to play it REPETITIVELY in order to be good.
CS is also a good example that Realism =/= Quality Gameplay
Contrary to new (raging) players belief, there are more 12 year olds and campers on the newer FPS's than there is on CS.
CS 1.6 have smaller killboxes than CS:S and therefore requires more skill

Person A: Look at my score in Black Ops, 300-16, I'm so good and I only had to use chopper gunner twice. Look at me knife, so pro
Person B sits Person A in front of Counter-strike 1.6 and directs Person A to play
Person A: OMG WTF, these KIDS are hacking, how the fuck is that possible, this is a gay game, where are the care packages? No sprint?!?
Person B: *smh*

Get the counter strike mug.A game that doesn't require any skills to be good at, all you need is a good inventory. You should have one of your several Karambit knives equipped at all times and inspect it in game whenever possible to ensure that anybody who is spectating you is aware that you are aware you're being watched and you are absolutely showing off that extremely pricey knife you own.
Your stats are irrelevant when playing this game, most people aren't even aware that the 'Tab' key actually has a function in game. It doesn't matter if you don't know what 'eco' means. Fuck team work. You have a 'BOOM' AWP in your inventory, as long as you have $4750 cash in game you're buying an AWP.
While playing, it's recommended that you mock anyone who decided to give their Nova the 'Walnut' skin. Same goes for people who give their FAMAS the 'Doomkitty' skin. You will only equip 'StatTrak' weapons and the first thing you do when you acquire one is go on an idle server and get several hundred kills on AFK players in order to pad the stats so you don't look like a total n00b.
You now have all the knowledge required to start playing CS:GO. Go forth and procure many skins of great value.

Get the Counter-Strike: Global Offensive mug.A first person shooter originally made by a man called Gooseman in 1999 as a modification to the game Half-Life. The game consists of two teams, the Counter-Terrorists and Terrorits. Each team purchases weapons at the start of a round and tries to either kill every member of the opposite team or complete an objective.
The game has become an extremely popular FPS over the years, and despite running on a 7 year old game, is still played by many people.
However, many people have hatreds toward the game because of it's popularity and will insult it given a moments notice. Even people who have not played the game or only played for a short amount of time have very biased opinions towards the game.
Despite what many people say, the game is very fun with a good community. There is a reason why it is so popular after all.

Get the counter strike mug.A Counter-Strike fag is a person who plays counter-strike and feels he/she is the best f***in person in the world. These people have no life and spend days playing this game to reach perfection and laugh at inexperienced players called noobs. They also tend to use leet speak which is words using random numbers and letters and is f***ing annoying to read. Counter-Strike fags range from ages 9-20 with anybody over 18 still living with their mom.
