Explains why a game from 1999 with no unlocks has more players than any other FPS
wow, as predictable as winter... you
troll pretend to believe that it still has many players because it doesn't have a persistence/unlock system?.. lolz.
CS 1.6 is popular because it's one - if not
the - first FPS games.. it has had 12 years to gather up an audience. it's also cheap (if not free?) so for the millions and millions of FPS fans world-wide who cant upgrade their computer or buy a 50$ game, it's the most obvious choice... Add to this; it's a Vegas slot-machine perfectly simple reward system which is compatible with pretty much anyone who wants fast action on their PC
tha's the reason people play it, it has nothing to do with it not having a persistence system, as I know you, you try to insinuate that all those players "stand above" things like unlocks and perks, and are playing "purely" for the fun of it.... as if adding a deep persistence system to CS wouldnt make more players play it.. lol
fail. Imagine all the Russian/Hungarian/Ukrainian/Chinese/Romanian/Brazilian counter-strike players, you dont think they would flood to CS 1.6 if it offered unlocks & perks?
