Strategy games are definitely nice. If only they could successfully combine strategy or tactical games with first-person shooters. I was playing Ghost Recon Advanced Warfare the other day, and it comes close, but it was hard to get the hang of. Plus my AI squadmates were so stupid. "Sir! I'm getting shot at!" Well dive for cover, dummy.

Sure that guy is good, always ends up with a score of 10-1, but is he so good that those 10 kills were all headshots? doubtful...
With all the undetectable hacks, who knows whos cheating or not, from what i can see, the only way to counter that, is to start cheating too.
So that pretty much ends the game, because everyone is hacking, i'm talking about Counter Strike by the way.
I never got the hang of being good at fps games, i am more of a thinker, so i do better at real time strategy games. I still play fps though, but just to have a break from rts, and just to relax after work etc. |
I never had the thought of hacking to counter another hacker in the server. Ever.
If you stoop to their level, that's when the game falls apart and you just have an endless barrage of mindless idiots who just let the computer do the playing for them.
If you encounter a hacker, most of the time if the team works together (usually through voice chat) you can dominate him. An entire team vs one hacker often has an advantage as long as they're not flaming noobs.
Regardless, I don't play Counter Strike anymore. There's much better games out there like Team Fortress Classic, Team Fortress 2, and some on the console like Call of Duty 4 and Halo 3.
Counter Strike is now a game that's good for LAN parties of some sort, because that way you can ensure that nobody is hacking since you are all face to face.

Counter Strike is a joke if you ask me. The only playable servers are with mods that don't allow ultra high scores (that's what the cheaters are out for) or servers running a warcraft mod. Since it has no point in cheating on those.
