Despite Counter-Strike: Global Offensive consistently being the second most played game on Steam, I never see much mention of it here. Right now over half a million people are playing it. The series has been around since 1999 and has a healthy eSports scene. So basic question: Have you ever played Counter-Strike?
I think I first saw my friend's older brother playing it sometime in the early 2000's before I really knew online gaming existed. It looked pretty cool. I tried playing Counter-Strike: Source but didn't really get into it because it seemed like you would just spawn and get killed. I eventually ended up learning the maps through Gary's Mod. At some point in time that I don't remember, I acquired Counter-Strike Global Offensive and didn't really get into that at first either. Whatever happened, I tried it again a few weeks ago and suddenly now really enjoy it. I've been able to play it pretty consistently since then. I feel like I 'get' it now.
Is this experience at all similar to anyone else? Have you played it obsessively for 15 years? Have you never touched it? The game has been on my periphery for over a decade and I'm only now getting in to it.
