* [[Abridged Arena Array]]
* [[And the Fandom Rejoiced]]:
** The announcement of cross platform play between [[Play Station 3]] and PC/Mac versions wasn't initially well received, due to the perception that [[Play Station 3]] players would be at a disadvantage due to the controller. Then keyboard and mouse support for that version was announced. At the same time, however, some PC gamers were happy to play against [[Play Station 3]] players [[PC vs. Console|for a very certain reason]].<br /><br />Unfortunately, cross platform play has been cancelled due to patch support concerns. Since console patches require certification by Sony or Microsoft and a not-insignificant sum of money ([[Tim Schafer]] said it costs around $40,000 for one Xbox 360 patch), this means PC players would be hamstrung by [[Play Station 3]] players regarding patches.
** On another note, the chickens are back in Global Offensive.
* [[Broken Base]]:
*
** Every intermediate version got this as well, to a lesser extent.
** Also there is/was lots and lots of debate over how different weapons compare to each other. This even resulted in one clan doing an extensive study on this back in the day, which almost held up to scientific standards
** Specific mention should be made to ''Counter-Strike'' (original, although most of the time its 1.6) vs ''Counter-Strike: Source''.
* [[Complacent Gaming Syndrome]]:
** Good luck finding a server running a Valve-created map other than de_dust2 in the remake.
**
* [[Ensemble Darkhorse]]: The chickens on cs_italy. They were removed from ''Counter-Strike: Source'', but are coming back in ''Counter-Strike: Global Offensive''.
* [[Game Breaker]]
* [[Germans Love David Hasselhoff]]
** Germans, too.
** And Romanians.
Line 20:
** Don't forget the Koreans!
** And Australians. The entire 'gaming net cafe' industry here came into being around 2000 because of this game. It lasted about 5 years before reductions in cost and speed of broadband internet, dedicated ISP gaming servers and reductions in the cost of computer tech made playing at home viable.
* [[Hilarious in Hindsight]]: Regarding ''Counter-Strike: Neo'' (the Japan-only oriented spin-off of ''Counter-Strike'', changing the art style towards a much-more [[Animesque]] style
* [[Paranoia Fuel]]: Nippers old abstract maps. {{spoiler|There's a head flying around the map and it screams at you on contact. Even more is Nippers Opus, Having a screamer when you go onto a certian building}}.
* [["Stop Having Fun!" Guys]]
▲* [["Stop Having Fun!" Guys]] - Also qualifies as ''[[Tier-Induced Scrappy]]''. There are a portion of servers that ban the AWM, the auto sniper, the auto shotgun, the CT shield, and they're usually the same maps that cycle between de_dust2 and cs_office. Enough of those servers exist that, in any other situation, use of the contrary will result in the regulars letting you know of their disgust with your choice, generally with an ample amount of expletives to accompany said disgust.
* [[They Changed It, Now It Sucks]]: Whenever Valve does anything at all to the game, complaints a-plenty may arise.
** And then ''Counter Strike: Global Offensive'' was announced, featuring new gamemodes, grenades, guns
