I'm not sure what to think. I have this funny feeling the majority of players are going to go back to regular CS, like most eventually do when new games come out. I think it has something to do with the simplicity of the game, but I have no idea...
Something that interests me about CS is the fact that usually the maps that are most successful in it are the ones that are not extravegantly detailed.Comment

u americans have butchered a language called "english" and turned it into your own. organised is the correct ENGLISH spelling. however u spell it in american is NOT english.
my grades have actually went from the lower 70s to the higher 90s since i've been playing half-life, and i don't even study.
edit: i'm getting tired of seeing "organized" spelt wrong
WRONG
RIGHT
oh and excellent hl2 article, esp. the funny comment at the end :)Comment

I don't know about destroying my life but Half Life has certainly cut down on my television watching. Why watch TV when you can play CS?Sm[o][o]th wrote..
Reminds me of this one time I was in Rome (thats in Italy (in europe (not in america)) for the geographically challenged ones)
Actually the correct spelling IS "Organised" just you Americans destroyed the ENGLISH language :p
Colour
Armour
Analogue
Favourite
Aluminium
etc....
And this american comes up to me, and mistaking me for an Italian says,
"Do...you....speak....american?"
(slow so i could understand)
I quickly responded
"No, sorry, I speak english"
"Oh"
He then gave a disappointed look and walked away, probably to ask the next person if they spoke american.Comment

Houw whas youh're dheay toudeiy Smooth?
While the extra letters may make sense to you, it doesn't to Americans because we don't have the same accent, and in most cases the words would be pronounced the same with, or without the extra letters we remove.
Colour would be said incorrectly if said with an American accent, where Color with an American accent would be the proper way to say it.Comment

im guessing american english evolved because the US wanted to somehow separate itself from just a british colony, so invented a different (and more lazy) form of english.appended @ [time="1085409183"]tspoon1066 wrote..

Um, so because we actually pronounce our R's instead of letting them slide into H's, it's more lazy? Great point, Lieutenant Logical. While we're at it, what's with a lot of Brits I know adding R sounds onto words that don't have them? Like Africa becoming "Afriker" and stuff?

I'm not saying everything in American English makes sense. It's just that British English is every bit as screwed up, if not more so. :)
* note: This does NOT include southern accents on our language, which turn English into unintelligible nonsense. Or those damned teacher's assistants from India who know everything there is to know about physics, but can't properly enunciate the simplest of words. Meh. :PComment

Not really. English is a term for things that come from England, sure. However, it's also the name of a language that is spoken in many countries.
Therefore, American English refers to the dialect of English that is spoken in the US. Likewise, British English thus refers to the dialect of English that is spoken in GB.
I was aware that some of you might be confused by the apparent duplication of terms, but it's technically correct, and does make sense when you stop and think about it long enough to get past "rofl ATM machine" and such.Comment

suppos the same rule applies to english as it does to chinese. its still the same family of languages, only in countless numbers of dialects.Comment
