Counter-Strike with a busy schedule?

Greetings and salutations.

I'm interested in picking up CS Source, but I've heard that the game is INSANELY hard to get into and is not noob friendly at all. Friends have told me that I'd get frustrated with it unless I had an entire summer to get decent at it. I work about 10 hours a day, with school and stuff. Would I be wasting my money right now? I relax about 1/2 an hour each evening, 3-4 hours a day on weekends.

This post might sound weird, but thanks. :D

to the wind with your friends.. css can be loads of fun casually. im not the greatest and i still have a blast with it. if a great game for 20 minutes here and 20 minutes there.. just too awesome of a game for words...

Not at all. In my personal experience, CSS is a game where nobody cares about anoybody else's scores. I constantly play in servers where I see players getting scores like 1-13, and I couldn't care less. I'm a full-time pharmacy student and I get about 2 hours off each night after classes and studying, I split it between this game, TF2 and StarCraft 2. If you can run TF2, I'd recommend that as it is a lot more casual than CSS and I personally find it to be much more fun, but both are great games in their own respect.

If you hate losing and dying alot till you are good at the game then no i dont reccomend it. Otherwise its one of the best fps games and no one will flame you or act inmature in most cases.

Yes it is hard to get into if I am playing.

My friend who was new at CSS("theycallmebob") has a score of 4-16, he is an aight gamer.

This screenshot was taken 2 days ago in just a regular match of CSS.

Quick buy CS before the TF2ers notice this thread.

They'll say comforting things like "casual", "noob friendly", "easy to get into" and "hats". It'll all sound very convincing but really they just want you to stay noob forever in a game that will never enhance your skills as an FPS player.

Stick with CS (30 mins a day or 300) and it will make you good at every other FPS game you choose to play.

hey i think ive played with you a few time jiggly.. my name is :TheCrazyGuy

Not hard at all really. Just read up on some play tips and you will get the hang of it in no time.

It takes a while to get used to, but it's worth it.

Remember: Aim for the Head. Almost always.
