OK, there has been some heavy shit, and loads of whinging on these forums recently, so to lighten things up a bit what are your memories of CS. What was your first ever game like? What about your first kill? Best ever moment?
18 months ago I was a newbie to PC ownership, let alone keyboard and mouse control of first person shooters. Undaunted, and having played at least 2 levels of single player half-life, I decided to have a go at CS. Read the manual? WTF for? After all, just how difficult could it be?
The map was 747 as a CT, and to be honest I don’t remember much about it. I seemed to spawn in the baggage tunnel bit, and, not knowing to turn the gamma up, it was pitch dark each time. I figured out what the radar did, though I thought that the little T symbols must be the terrorists, and the upside down T symbols must therefore be the CTs. Though I hadn’t a clue what the dots were. The fact that I could see my opponents on the radar explained to me why all I ever saw in the game were a few shadowy shapes and a couple of muzzle flashes.
My score quickly raced to 0-10 before I threw in the towel, licked my wounds and withdrew to play more Half-Life, and TFC.
4 months later I had more luck. My first ever kill was actually my first 2 kills. The map this time was Arab streets, and I was CT. I set off right and as the Ts came through the little gate there I mowed down 2 of them with my Aug before the third through got me. What a great feeling, even if they were the only 2 kills I got all game.
My best ever moment though was as a T on dust 2, I ran straight to the right and crouched by the box in the short tunnel. Four CT’s ran straight past and were falling over themselves to get through the door when they were all wiped out buy a burst from my AK. My name was by 4 kills at the top of the screen . Almost at the same instant a team-mate killed the other 2 CTs, the whole team was wiped out in less than 3 seconds. They couldn’t believe it. Needless to say the tactic has never worked for me again.
That’s it, a couple of things that have stuck in my memory. Was I the newest newbiest newbie ever? Can anyone beat that?
