Why Cs Is Better Than Ns

<div class="IPBDescription">not really</div> The players of NS go around with a 'high and mighty' attitude of themselves sterotyping other gamers.

The CS community is the same as any other gaming community, it just has more people, and thus more wankers too, most of them only whine because they care.

How would you feel like if they suddenly doubled the size of your crosshair in NS just because you play in 1024 x 768 res <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->

There are approximatly 650,000 unique Steam accounts that play CS (about 20,000 that play NS), don't call them all 12 yr old script kiddy whiners.

    Well I would suggest that you put on a flame retardent suit for this one...

    The reason is CS is a frag game. NS is not... CS is about getting HS and killing the other team where NS is about accomplishin objectives... Don't claim bombing is realy an objective... It is just something trown in for competative play...

    Most of the people who come from CS bring that mentatlity, and thus hinder gameplay. CS simply isnt as team oriented as NS.

    basically the way we see our selves here: from best to worst
    NSplayers
    Dod players
    CS Players
    UT2004 Players

    And most of them arnt 12year old skript kiddy whinners but many lack the maturity required for a non-frag chasing FPS.

    People can flame away, it will just prove a point.

    And both of them are JUST games. Because you prefer a (arguably) more tactical based game makes you more mature? No.

    I play cs and ns, and infact i like the new cs crosshair (though would be nice if we could choose the site ourselves) like i liked the new ns crosshairs, big is good, especially in ns where you dont have to be hyper accurate.

    What they did in CS was make the corsshair no longer a universal sprite, so it is the same relative 640 x 480 size in all resoutions. But what the negleted to factor in was that MOST people play in 1024 x 768, which is the standard they should have used.

    Just out of the blue here but.. Who cares?

    If someone really wants to mock people they dont know, let them. It really isnt that big of a deal. Theres been this type of people for god knows how long. Few statements on the internet is hardly going the change that.

    I was bored, and a tad fed up of the attitude on the forums regarding CS players <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    CS has always had a bad name for its self because the majority of the half million players they have are cocky 12 year olds who cheat, script and **** like nothing else.
    NS is not jst some shoot and kill game, its far beyond just shooting and killing. The differnt levels of game play that NS offers makes it so much more fun that CS on many levels. The community is smaller 30-50 thousand unique accounts that play monthly, so the community is tighter and over all alot more mature.

    NS is a game that most preteens can't get a hang of, they are to use to shooting and killing and can't work as a team. So this community is older in general.

    CS is a good game but to say its the best FPS mod would be a stupid thing to say. many games are better than CS as far as the game play goes.

    NS is not CS, its not better than CS because its nothing even like CS so its the best in its own area!

    on the contrary, the CS dev team doesn't care about "most" people - "most" people don't bring them any money

    it's the top clan players playing at LAN's that bring in the big money through sponsorship and advertisement - and nearly every one of them (N.B. "nearly") play in very low res (640x480/540), so they make the game as optimal for them as possible.

    (N.B.2 - first place i went to check this was the sK site - arguably the best CS clan in the world - all of their line up use v. low res setups on immensely powerful machines capable of incredibly good resolution (by "all" i mean all the ones i actually checked - didn't check every single one of them))

    I never noticed the crosshair being huge, but that could be because I play in 1024x768 windowed.

    crosshairs changed to "cool but huge" in 2.0
    It was adding a lot of atmosphere and action (including new sounds and gameplay).
    So it didnt take long to like it.

    The rosshairs are big because:
    - it looks good.
    - there will never ever be sniper/railgun weapons in ns.

    I'm sorry but you are WRONG.

    If they were catering to the pros, the awp would not have been changed, hitboxes would be fixed, model bugs fixed, the shield and autosnipers removed, aswell as all the 'fun guns'.

    The 'pros' have said that they use the low res because of the 'feel' of the game. The only reason Valve used the 640 crosshair as the standard was because it meant less work.

    And yes CS is the best FPS out there <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    The point of this thread tho, is that there are the whiners, the cheaters, the voice comm spammers, the exploiters, the noobs, the elitists, the pros, the average joe etc... In every gaming community, don't think NS is so special.

    I don't know about the point of this thread, but it shows once more that every such topic <i>will</i> degrade in mod bashing and that it's utterly pointless to create 'player hierachies' dependent on their favorite, pay attention to the word, <i>game</i>.
