No the worst mailbags were the ones following the anger one, cause nothing could get funnier than that mailbag. This was masterful compared to those.

Evil_Penguin: I still think he doesn't know his guns... The M4 isn't the main gun of the US Army, it's the M16A2... Also, British used to use the SA80 (thought it was for training)... And I've already seen them using HK G36's...

All parts of the British Army still use SA-80's (its the standard issue rifle), recently they spent a load on creating the A2 version.



The SAS and Royal Marine recon units use the M16A2, but pretty much everyone else uses the SA-80s.

why the hell would you want to use a shitty SA80 when you could use a better gun? Besides, I think it looks stupid. And if the clip falls out when you accidentally hit a button, then you have a USELESS stupid looking gun. How lovely.

I have a brother, and a cousin, and friends too, that waste about all their spare-time to play CS. The game has twisted their minds. They know more about famous players (like the newbie named HeatoN) than their own life. And when they are not playing CS (very rare), they download a bunch of those pathetic "skill-movies" and even more pathetic "demos". That's not all! They call people that doesn't play CS (like me) as jackasses, cause they find you sick if you don't play CS. I don't play CS anymore. I used to, but when "skill" was overrunned by "fastest-shooter-with-AWP", I just had enough! I haven't been playing CS for a year, and I feel like a normal person. Taking out the trash, doing the dishes, feed the dog, instead of wandering around worried about if Team9 will go 1st place in CPL or not. Thank God! Amen!

i did not play CS at all over the weekend. i got my violence fix in the real world by playing my first air soft game. my score after 6 rounds: 3-6. but i got a kill with my pump shottie and a beretta. my legs are still sore. and no one called me a "h4x3r" or "nub"

Who cares? Mailbags are funny, and you try to get in and get insulted. If you don't like it, there's other stuff on CS-Nation, or you can go to a different site. Guess you can't satisfy everyone.

You can chime in on any other news item and try to get insulted. Depending on the mood of the mods, this is likely to be banworthy or at least frowned upon. So why have an entire feature based on it?



The thing i'm getting at isn't whether or not i like mailbags; i'm well aware that i can not read them. It's that given other current and future features of the site, what space do mailbags fill? I'm not trying to go all gung-ho about people constantly giving multiple paragraph opinions all the time. It's just that given the limited scope of what a mailbag can do when focused on one game, i'm simply not seeing the point of keeping it around.

The mailbag is one of our only ways of actually communicating with the commuity, and that should be thought of as a good thing.



Besides, that's why we're here, right? This isn't Something Awful, mouth, it's a Counter-Strike fan site. Keyword: fan.



Wise up, man.

What communication? It's basically people sending in stupid shit for rizzuh to ridicule while they act like it's a prize. It's gotten to the point where everyone involved has gotten comfortable with droll idiocy, and i don't see how this is a good thing.

The SA-80A2 is the British Army's (not English Army) standard issue rifle.

Para, you are obviously forgetting the fact that most American's cannot tell the difference between England and Britain on top of which most of them have never heard of Wales or know where it is.
