Counter Strike was way better when this was the vibe. I am so tired of competitive this and gun case that. I've never been interested in 5v5 scrimming in any serious way, but that's all CS2 wants me to do.

I want gun game, I want wc3, I want ZM. I want quirky custom maps (glass!) and quake sounds and !bet ct all. I want to fuck around with new friends on a server for an evening, not to sweat my balls off throwing practiced smokes on dust2.

I’m right there with you. I haaaaaate the direction of modern gaming.

Same thing kinda happened to TF2. I mean, Competitive is dead but the server browser and community servers are not what they used to be. I miss when it was front and center. Today most people just play casual on Valve servers.

After a quick search it seems like the CS2 in-game server browser has gone to complete shit. I hope Valve fixes it. It's part of the Source Legacy.

And the old WCFAN (We Couldn't Find A Name) servers, what was it called again, I think hillbreak? That was fun!
