Counter-Strike has been around for almost a decade. It’s received seven major upgrades, each played and polished by millions of man-hours, it’s been left in a state of perfect stasis for five years - and idiots are still complaining about unbalanced weapons. You’ll notice that the weapon with deep and unworkable flaws is always the one that just killed them - perhaps they should be ‘fixed’ by welding a steel plate over the end of the barrel. Or better yet, over the player. It’s true that the Counterstrike arsenal is about as balanced as an alcoholic elephant on a unicycle, but everyone knows that, and everyone uses the same few guns, so its absolutely fine. Anyone still whingeing about deagle-dealers or AWP-whores is just shouting “Hey everyone, not only did I get killed, but I totally deserved it too!” Solution: Someone’s running around annoying you. They’re distracted because they’re speaking or, heaven help the poor caveman, typing. And they’re annoying you with the exact details of the gun that’s able to kill them. Call us crazy but we can see a solution here. 3. Hacking Hacking is the most common complaint, the most serious, and the most valid. Because unlike the previous two it actually is even remotely valid. While the vast majority of “OMG HAX!” are based on the famous “Someone being a better player than them” exploit, there actually are quite a few cheaters. Or to give them their full name, “filthy worthless stains-on-the-server scumbags.” We’ve already shown you how to spot such slime, but what to do when you do? Solution: On your own Counter-Strike Server it’s easy as killing a lagged player, and even more fun - you kick that loser like a Lunar Superbowln field goal. If you aren’t going to be around, promote enough admins to spot such scum or add a votekick mod to let the players take care of themselves. If you’re a mere mortal (aka player)? You’ll just have to disconnect and find another CS server. You can’t stop them, you can’t beat them, and arguing with an exploiter is like wrestling a leper - you’ll probably win, but it wasn’t worth the exposure. Posted: At cs news. July 1
