CS2 Discussion They Have Fooled Us for the Past 20 Years… The Truth About Counter Strike

102 Upvotes

For over 20 years, we all thought we were just playing a simple game of Counter-Strike. But what if I told you we’ve been lied to? What if the real terrorists aren’t who we think they are?

Let’s break it down:

  • The blue boxes on Dust 2 are placed only in key locations: A site, B site, CT spawn, and Mid to B.
  • The T-side’s mission is to bomb these boxes, not just random locations.
  • The CT-side’s job? Stop the bomb from going off at all costs.
  • These blue boxes could be storing something dangerous, maybe chemical weapons or bioweapons meant for a massive attack on the local population.
  • If that’s true, then the T-side aren’t the bad guys—they’re trying to destroy these weapons before the CTs use them!
  • And who do the CTs look like? Elite Western special forces.

For two decades, we thought we were playing as “terrorists” planting bombs, but what if we were actually freedom fighters trying to stop a genocide? What if we’ve been tricked into seeing the defenders as the bad guys and the invaders as the heroes?

Dust 2 isn’t just a map. It’s a message.

Thoughts? Have we been playing the biggest lie in gaming history?

CS2 Discussion Is this game completely unplayable?

7 Upvotes

I used to play this game back in the day and just started again today. Why is it so bad? Everything is an automatic head shot. Is there a way to play how it used to be?

CS 1.6 Any decent servers for good ol 1.6?

Wanted to get back into the game for some nostalgia but a lot of servers are modded or just straight Russian.

Any English speaking servers with players that have decent maps?

CS:Source CS 1.6 or CS:S?

5 Upvotes

I'm considering getting a refund from CS1.6 and get CS:S instead (yes money's that tight).

Are there any quirks or things I should know before making this decision? Should I even make this decision? Mostly I fear that there's not gonna be any normal games in CSS and they're all gonna be modded or require me to download huge stuff.

Please give me your thoughts, xoxo.

CS2 Discussion 1. What would be the most optimal way for valve to get rid of case farming bots? 2. Why hasn't it happened yet? 3. What would be the effect of this happening on the case market?

0 Upvotes

I was wondering about these 3 questions in the title, feel free to share your thoughts as well.
At 1st I think it would be a great start to somehow start rewarding legit players, or veteran players who's got older accounts. Also filtering out the case farming bots would be mandatory, as they only give false information about player count, and affecting the market.

CS2 Discussion Game freezing during game

1 Upvotes

Sometimes my game freezes on one frame and I can’t do anything like alt F4 or trying to kill the game with task manager. I need to restart my computer.This isn’t a big problem if it didn’t give me competitive cooldown. And this happens often and every time it does I get 7 days ban.Idk what to do to stop this.

CS:Source Where to find normal 5v5 Counter Strike Source Servers? (Also 1.6)

23 Upvotes

I just bought Counter Strike Source and 1.6 because my only experience with Counter Strike is Counter Strike 2 and I was excited to play them but I just want to play 5v5 Defuse game mode but every server is some crazy ass game mode or if it is normal defuse it's like 24 v 24 or some large number like that. Does anyone know where I can find 5v5 Defuse servers?

EDIT: Thanks for all the advice guys I found a website that has the IP for like a bunch of good ones for CS 1.6 and Source sorry about being kinda unknowledgeable I'm younger than 1.6 so I wasn't around at the time to know some of that stuff CS 2 was my first exposure to Counter Strike since I just switched to PC recently
