Been playing CS since the tailend of Beta 4, got into it with Beta 5....I remember the time before smoke grenades existed, the guns had their real names, the colt was always silenced and had a zoom like the Aug....Flashbangs sometime worked, HE Nades where hit or miss, Hacks where everywhere, spiked models, all guns shot through walls and and what not with pretty good accuracy...I remember Milita, Siege, good old Oilrig!
I used to play on a Celeron 400 MHz with 64MB ram and 8MB SIS video card....on AOL Dialup...500 ping. Thats where I learned how to be Silent!....creeping around oilrig with a pistol and knife trying to get the VIP....oh yah, the VIP used to only have a knife
