Is this game overrated?

[Anonymous No.6594909]

I always felt annoyed by the popularity of this game, mainly because of how much it overshadowed Half-Life back in the days.

Friendly reminder that this is a false flag thread and GameCube, Xbox, and PS2 will NEVER, ever be retro no matter what. No matter how much you cry and seethe. That is all.

I mean every time I talked to anyone about Half-Life they all reply with "Oh yes, the game that comes with CS". It's all it was known for them, even through they never bothered to playing Half-Life, despite being a great game

Moot point. it only really overshadows it now since getting a HL DM session going is uncommon and dust_2 servers remain filled. I don't get being annoyed by its success because it wasn't made to kill or replace HL, its just a cool thing that comes with HL

Most people liked more an online team vs team fps rather than a linear corridor shooter with a few puzzles and platforming here and there.

Personaly I never liked and never will like HL but Metro 2033 clicked. The single player shooters I enjoyed most around that time was System Shock 2 which is more of an RPG and Blood. Most people I know that really like Half Life are into it because of the story, I never found it interesting though.

RTS games aren't the most popular, but they haven't died out. Smash is starting to be considered a fighting game and is rising in popularity (maybe not after recent events), but actual fighting games still have strong communities.
Have you ever stopped to consider that if arena shooters were anywhere near as good as larping zoomers claim them to be, they wouldn't be completely abandoned?

Unironically this, Doom is babby's first retro fps, you can literally dodge anything that is not hitscan by circle strafing around enemies. Then they try to play other shooters like Duke Nukem 3D like they play Doom and call it a shit game because you can't instakill everything with a double barrel shotgun

It was fun back in its day and a product of its time and there weren't many shooters like it back in 2000. It gets old fairly quick though and its popularity has definitely overstayed its welcome. Day of Defeat was always better.

No, not when it was a mod at least. It offered something new and fresh at the time and was very fun, especially when you were used to zoom-and-shoot arena shooters. Now it's not necessarily BETTER, but it IS different.

[Anonymous No.6604734]

>>6594909
It probably wasn't the first but it popularized the 1 life per round team based multiplayer fps. And the money system added a surprising amount of depth and player decision making to each round. I remember when my friend's big brother started playing it back in the day and eventually me and a bunch of my friends got it installed and we'd play it for hours on most days after school.

I think CS:GO is very fucking overrated today.

it was free, and had simple, easy to understand mechanics
it also had short rounds and progress was fast and shallow, so even inexperienced players didn't feel too left out (though it can be annoying to wait a couple minutes if you die in 10 seconds, there were worse games for this)
truly a terrorist-killing game for the masses

Why did they sell a stand-alone product when you could just download the mod for free?

[Anonymous No.6609223]

CS was pretty good and fresh, while Half-Life MP kinda sucked and played on Q3 and UT turf.
Faggots cry about this here now, but back in the day PC users played all three of those games along with shit from other genres like WC3, HoMM and other stuff. Not saying that there weren't any banter between camps at all, but it wasn't nearly as bad.
Also, arena shooters died because retard Murricans played mainly the console shit like Goldeneye, Halo and Call of Duty, which setted the trends that in the end became mainstream.
Personally, I'm just surprised that CS is still somewhat relevant today at all, when all normalfags prefer trendy shit like battle royales, hero shooters and other stuff like that.
