CounterStrike: Where the only thing more reliable than your terrible aim is the endless cheaters spinning around like they’re auditioning for Dancing with the Stars. You’ll learn real fast that the only thing more accurate than your gunshots are the cheaters aimbots, which somehow always seem to have perfect aim. But hey, at least you’ll get to experience the sweet, sweet thrill of a game where everything looks fine until you die in 0.1 seconds to someone who’s clearly not from this dimension. But don’t worry, Valve’s totally on it. I’m sure they’re working hard on that anti cheat system. Any day now. In the meantime, enjoy getting headshot by a guy who’s both floating and twerking through the map. 10/10 would totaly throw my keyboard across the room again.

Counter Strike was once a great game, still good, but too bad its full of cheaters and scammers. Anti cheat system is a joke. This game would be amazing, if it was free of cheaters and scammers.
