yes, ive been playing for a couple months, and im doing better, but a high percentage of the players are still pros, and they own everyone else, css takes alot of skill, and its also cause alot of players have been playing for a long long time

i havent played cod4 yet, but i have played other cod games, i have played css, but only for a few months, to me cod requires a lot less skill, the guns arent as accurate, and harder to aim, so its more seeing the guy first, and blasting away at him, whereas css is the opposite i think, also css has better modded content, providing endless new maps and mods, and yes css does have alot of very experienced players since it was released a few years ago, but it has more replayability i think
