why i still suck

[CheesyPeteza]

Do you think your crap because you've been playing the game too long and no longer try as hard?



I know when I first started out I was examining everything I did. Watching every move someone else did to try to perfect my skills. Then after about 9 months I started to get a bit bored. I stopped trying to improve and thought I knew it all. It was not intentional, it just sort of happened.



In the end I had to give myself a kick into making the game fun again by trying to get better. I started playing on some other servers with better players and started to watch demos of all the leet dudes to see how the game should really be played. I'm still nothing special, but I'm better than I was, and I'm enjoying the game a lot more now.

And pfft to those twelve year-olds who take the game too seriously. Run around clicking a shotgun without ammo with your flashlight on!

wow jessica me and a friend do EXACTLY that. Buy a pump/auto shotty, empty the 8/7 rounds out of it, then run around like idiots making noise and turning the flashlight on and off repeatedly. Team gets hella pissed though D:



We also used to turn on the flashlight and then type +left (or +right whatever floats your boat) in the console, and run around and try to kill people. Makes for an interesting style of play



And to the guy who trie's running around with just a knife geting other people to knife him: I've been fortunate enough to play with the same bunch of guys for over a year - granted our home server may be gone now, we still keep in touch via a message board. Look in serverspy or gametiger for a clan tag of [KAoD] or [PAoD]



KAoD = Knifer Army of Doom

PAoD = Pumper Army of Doom (guess which gun that is)



kaod usually nets us around 5-6 people on at any given time, generally on the same team. It's quite fun and the kills are quite hilarious.



My god that post got long ... kill me now D:

You hear them on the voice comm: they sound like elves. Elves with the mouths of sailors.

Best line in the article. I was laughing like crazy. Even read it to my wife. It's so true! I never feel older than when these 10-12 yr-olds start talking.



Hey, I may be mid-30's, but I ain't dead yet!

Everything Asspennies has described in the article is true for me. From the reloading, all the way to no matter how hard you try, you just suck. I feel like Asspennies has just read my mind!

Finally, an article that gets to the heart of CS and addresses something that I think all the "Video Games as a Professional Sport" talk kind of overshadows:



CS is a game first and foremost and a majority - majority not in Clans - Who play on public lans and servers... SUCK.



I consider myself an average player with an average ratio. Not "leet", but not as bad as Asspennies



I think the fact that CS is a game... GAME... gets forgotten with all the hype of being able to go to the CPL and play the game for huge amounts of money.



In addition, what is funny is that this game was NEVER intended for kids around the age of 12 and under... Yet that is who a majority of those who play it tend to be.



What is interesting is that if CS and E-Games are to be taken seriously as they want -- like professional sports -- Then they NEED to have people my age (late 20s - 30s) playing MORE than the kiddies to give it a serious edge/attention if it wants to be at the level pro sports are now.



Ironic, isn't it?

it took me from starting a week before b6.5 to the end of b7.1 to finally get what I considered good (basically when people stopped calling me a newby). As we entered 1.0 and up until the end of 1.3 I was quite consistent thoguh like everyone else I had some bad bad days D: As life goes on and changes so has my ability to play consistently and not die like a "newby".



Personally, I don't really care how I play now. I've been fortunate enough to find an excellent server with great people (not like 100-20 score great, but great attitudes). Hell the server we played on went down in october, yet we still play with each other, keeping in touch with each other mainly through the message board. To our group, it seems having fun fucking around was always #1 priority, getting high scores as well was just icing on the cake.



I've grown quite bored of CS myself, and hardly play anymore. Mainly I just play when I see friends online or when Lugosi wants me for man sex in irc D:

[hit?]

do all of u guys really suck or are u just making asspennies feel good?

[Rixxx]

i really suck now. ask lugosi.

[Iamempty]

I am an inconsistent brat, but I 0\/\/|\|z my friends.



About sucking in CS, that depends on the server. Join a good server and your ass gets owned (that's you asspennies). Join a server with sucky players and u ownz them (you too asspennies).



I am a pro.

Thank god for players like asspennies who give us "mediocre" players something to live for! For your downright suck-assness makes us look godly! And damnit! I'm not afraid to admit, those sorry, sappy, 12 year old, pre-pubescent, pre-teens got me whuped on even my best day!



I must also include how much I miss crossfire.



En Gerde you 12 year old punks! Debating... now THERES something I can win at! Why? Because you silly lumps will mainly target your arguments toward my mother, while I go for the throat!



Enjoyable article, just as always. Great read. =D

[hit?]

I feel sorry for all the mothers in the world. Getting their asses kick coz their sons or daughers suck.



And damn those 12 year old braggarts.
