Counter Strike - After a lifetime

The best thing in CS is the Sniper. A great sniper is a ghost who is never visible. If you're lucky you see him when you're dead and at worst he'll stake you out regardless of whether you're a gangbanger or a wait-and-shoot killer. He moves in the shadows and leaves no traces. You're not supposed to get within 10 yards of a sniper, alive.

That's your perfect strategy sniper. The gung-ho sniper is altogether different. He doesn't give a fuck as to who's watching and who's coming. He ain't no shortgun smasher and though he might shoot only one bullet at a time, he kills like shit. Then there's always the NightHawk that protects him and one headshot with this baby and you're on your way to graceland.

If you haven't played CS then you wouldn't know what the fuck all this is about. But that's Ok. It's like reading the dialogues of a Rambo movie, and why am I making a Rambo here? I ain't. I just played CS after a fucking long time so I thought I'd write something about it.

What do you write about CS? It's bloody, gory but it's not mindless. It's attitude. Some people play like the bullet's gonna fucking break the screen and get into their head, others don't even see where they are firing, some hide and wait for the right moment and some are showstoppers. You'll get all kinds and that's the fun in it. Then there are duels. Snipers against Kreigs, AK against Mavericks, Shortguns against SMGs and Snipers. Ohh...it's just too much of a killer to resist. But, I haven't played it for ages now. 

Yesterday WL was playing the sniper round and my fingers started itching. So I had a go. 4-5 rounds. Enough to whet the appetite but then let go. This ain't the road to go.
