Do you prefer de_ or cs_ and why?ALSO as an interesting side-tidbit, they have an interview with clan LR, whose opinions are of value because they're good at CS. Duh.
aT|mkl: De_ of course because hostages sux. When u play a cs_ map its only camping and almost no tactics involved.
GnD^VIP: I have to say de_ cause of the maps themselves, most cs maps are pretty crap or laggy.
LR-Sarge: De_ because of the bad hostage AI, they still get stuck which makes it very hard to rescue them sometimes. De_ maps are more fun though as you actually have to get in plant the bomb and hold it. If you are not good at defending, you haven't got a chance.
