Counter-Strike/YMMV: Difference between revisions

** Don't forget about de_dust2!

* [[And the Fandom Rejoiced]]:

** The announcement of cross platform play between [[PS 3]] and PC/Mac versions wasn't initially well received, due to the perception that [[PS 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 [[PS 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 (Creator)|~~Tim Schafer]] said it costs around $40,000 for one Xbox 360 patch), this means PC players would be hamstrung by [[PS 3]] players regarding patches.

** On another note, the chickens are back in Global Offensive.

* [[Broken Base]] - Which is the real Counter-Strike, 1.6 or 5.2? If you know what that means, chances are you have a strong opinion about it and have voiced that opinion (coupled with a threat) on a gaming forum.

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,) it's exsistance tickles the funny bone of every Counter-Strike fan who watched the older CS parody videos before the website went down for good. One specific vid discussed ways to make Counter-Strike relevant to younger gamers by making the game more anime style, full of [[Dragonball Z|Kamahameha-style laser blasts]], so the game can appeal to [[Pokémon (~~Anime~~)|Pokémon]] and [[Dragonball Z]] fans. Keep in mind that the video was made in 1999, right when the Pokemon and anime craze hit the U.S. the hardest. The video's doubly ironic these days, since the [[Modern Warfare]] games (inspired by Counter-Strike) grabbed that exact age demographic on consoles a decade later.

* [[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}}

* [[Shown Their Work]] - [http://i.imgur.com/SnQmy.jpg Way too much?]

* [["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.

** Though that might be in some cases a matter of "''Start'' Having Fun Guys" as many a player find AWM users make it very hard to turn a corner without getting killed instantly.

* [[They Changed It, Now It Sucks]]: Whenever Valve does anything at all to the game, complaints a-plenty may arise.
