I played counter-strike a lot about 4 or 5 years ago. I was actually pretty good. Especially around patch 1.1. There were several incidents in which I'd be the last guy left and I'd use stealth to take on 4-6 guys and either get them down to 1 and then die, or win the round. I remember one such time where I was a terrorist on prodigy and I went to the choke point that everyone didn't go to. Nobody went there of course, so I went back around towards the start area. I picked off two rushing CTs with my AK-47, then doubled back again. I got another CT and got his m-4 and put on the silencer, and I finished off the rest of the team with it. I knew everyone was rooting for me, and it made me feel really good.
Prodigy and Inferno are definitely my favorite maps, but I've managed to do some amazing things on Dust, Dust 2, Office, Aztec, and Italy.
This is of course on open servers. I like being randomly matched and then figuring out the best way to beat people. Some people are best beaten by brute force, others by simply outsmarting them.
I would have loved to use voice comm in such a way to play very heavily strategic styles against enemy teams. I did a few clan matches, but we were a small clan, and we never got that far into it. I'd think it would be really cool to have scout teams that used smoke grenades and flash bangs to hide their numbers incase the bulk of the enemy rushed their route, and use the main force to get the enemy team from behind.
What is also fun is just decimating people with well aimed Desert Eagle shots, or pumping them full with the USP.
Cheating sort of ruined the game. I remember playing against people that would know exactly where to shoot without seeing you no matter how quiet you are. They'd then tell you that they were very adept at using their stereo speakers to identify where enemies are based on footsteps. Which made no sense because my whole team was using stealth techniques.
When you are crouch-walking behind a wall and someone runs up past a wall and you don't have any element of surprise on them time after time, you have to wonder.
