I no longer enjoy first person shooters, but I was a teenager during that era and loved the game. The lack of variety that you found boring was what made the game fascinating to me at the time. Its simplicity and repetitive nature allowed one to achieve mastery through practice. Playing it, I felt the same feeling that I had after I had played ping pong regularly for several years.
- zeppelin101 8y agoExactly this. The fact that a few maps and weapons dominated CS is what made it so unique, because you were forced to learn those few maps and weapons in extreme detail. When people couldn't distract themselves with fancy, shiny other things, they were forced to master those fewer things that were available (or were practical) and that many others had already mastered to a greater level than you. Your skill gap was was blatantly apparent to you and others, so you were very motivated to resolve your shortcomings.
