You're joking right?

Netcafes practically faded from existence when CS lost its popularity.

Because its newer? CSS and CS combine have over 100,000 people playing daily according to their stats on steam.

Nah, it's my opinion. I hate CS. That game is quite boring. :)

Congratulation, Halo 3 had 1 million daily players up until MW2, now it does around ~600k daily.

But thats really hard because a new console would've come out soooo. I love both games for online in their different styles lets leave it at that

I doubt CS online has touched Halo's online..

Never got the attention it deserved? It's the most popular online shooter ever made.PannicAtack

Yeah, I am also confused by this thread. CS did get the attention it deserved. Heck, it still does, even though it is less. Thousands, if not millions of people still play this game...

CS never got the attention it deserved? is this a sick joke?lawlessx

[QUOTE="Human-after-all"] CS was doing that 6 years ago, call me in 6 years when Halo has 100000 people still playing.ZAGAV3

No, i mean in 6 years. PC games live for longer online due to the face that you dont get new 'gens' of PC. Consoles you get new gens so that means people would move to the next step

Think that goes to starcraft. CS never was a sport

But Halo fans keep playing Halo games until the next major Halo game, not until the next console. A new Xbox 360 console wouldn't stop Halo fans from playing Halo 3, but Halo: Reach will.

Halo 2 drew 300k unique players to online play every day 3 years after release, in 2007. That was 2 years after X360 was released, and i doubt any 360 game had better numbers. Though when Halo 3 was released, then people moved on..

CS did have its time, years ago. It is still one of the best competitive online games ever.

And why not? Annal releases may be a reason, perhaps? :)

There's a fair difference between the two games. Most new gamers would be quick to choose Source over 1.6 and fair enough - the game is much prettier, has a physics engine and better sound. The reason why the old school CS1.6 players stick to it is because the game's core shooting/recoil mechanics are preferred and the hit detection is MUCH better. In Source, you might as well be aiming at upper chest and you'd be bound to get a headshot. Actually the hit detection in Source is just flat out bad in all honesty, you can clearly miss a player and yet still get him - I'm not talking in regard to the recoil, either. It just feels off compared to 1.6.

I disagree about CS taking more skill than COD. The hitboxes in Counterstrike are so bloody obtuse that its hard to figure out whether you'll actually hit the person. It is a shot in the dark a lot of times. Its one of the reasons I never got into the game competitively. Viva COD.Vandalvideo

This is easily one of the stupidest threads I've ever seen. Counterstrike not getting any attention... are you completely crazy man? It was played in every internet cafe in the world...

I love CS for all it has to offer, although the spawn camping on custom maps is ridiculous. I just think that CS needs a sequel to set the bar of online FPS and put Call of Duty in its place.hiphops_savior

CS is the most played game in my country..along with dotaArctic_Grillz

I know what country you're from. I'm there too ;)

Hell in regard to skill, Source vs COD is no comparison either.

Oh I thought you were talking about COD4. I can't comment on COD.

Halo sequels are not junky.

I much prefered CSS to CS 1.6

CS 1.6 still the best FPS ever made.

oh boy, I love me some counter strike, best fps ever made, scrimming and tournaments gave you that adrenaline rush, omg, not speaking of lan tournaments gosh, gettin a clutch on a lan tournament.... It's truly orgasmic.

Counterstrike has always gotten a lot of attention, but from the PC crowd, not the Gamespot community. They don't really overlap much.
