Killing Strike?

Ive had CSS for years and I only EVER used it for Garrys Mod. I hate CSS. I dont know why its even so popular.
If you want a real mans game go play Wolfenstein Enemy Territory. Takes like 30 shots to kill anyone with bodyshots so there was NO room for noobs who cant aim anywhere but their feet. Also, you needed 3-4 headshots depending which class they used and what level they were. So basically, you could even survive a situation where someone attacked you from behind, unlike in CSS or COD where its insta-death if the other guy sees you first. If you knew how to aim youd get scores like 100 kills and 5 deaths, and those 5 deaths being by stepping on landmines or getting blown up by artillery. It would be VERY hard to get scores like that in CSS or COD cause even a first timer could easilly take you out if he just knows how to point the weapon in the right direction. It was kinda... odd watching the killcams where pretty much everyone fired their weapon at my legs and still killed me in a second. Realistic or not, I prefer the W:ET style of gameplay.
I used to play Wolf ET for 6 years but quit it like year or two ago.
Then it seems the game has jumped into a "vets only" playerbase. Why play a game where you don't stand a chance against older players?
Meh, its alright if you have a bunch of mates to play it with. Learning curb is much easier if you can play with buddies. But CSS is wierd its very anti intuitive over alot of other games.
How so? CSS really isn't hard to learn and/or play, it's just the super-competitive freaks who play in their mom's basement all day that make it remotely difficult...
It's gameplay doesn't require a lot of hypothetical based deductive analysis. it's simple reaction timing and "see the person, shoot the person" gameplay. it's made for people who don't excel at intuitive future based tactical thinking.
aka stupid people
What makes it awkward is the recoil is very difficult to get used to. When stood still, your first bullet will go exactly where your crosshair is, so a great first headshot means an instant kill. Your seond bullet will be kind of accurate, and your third could go anywhere. When your moving it will also wreak havoc with even your first bullet. It may go straight, it may not, but like it real life any big movement affects your accuracy.
This means if you happen to miss your first shot, then all of a sudden your on the back foot, cause your recoil is no longer under control and most likely your opponent has the oppurtunity to go for a shot himself. So CSS is largely burst fire 2 shots step aside to avoid their shot, burst fire 2 more, etc etc. However if you time it wrong you give your opponent a nice moment where you are stood still for him to score the headshot.
Bottom line spray most of the time simply doesn't work, and body shots may take 4 or even 5 shots to drop a target. You may get the drop on someone, but if you go for the body and not the head, you give them precious seconds where a single bullet can instantly take your head off.
Because it is so easy to get killed its very much a game of guessing where people will be, and trying to have the shot lined up ready to fire when you see them. You guess wrong, you die.
Thats how I see CSS anyway. Having played CoD4 before CS:S I have major respect for a game thats 5 years older and still is better in every way to its modern rival.
Just for the record, this is how i reached KF.
CS:S regular (i think)
CS:S Zombie Mod
L4D
KF
I played KF before i bought it, at an internet cafe with some mates, then they lost interest; so i stopped playing. This was back in the early (pre-trader menu change) days of KF.
Looking at this, i'm quite content not to take a single step backwards in my evolution.

Here is my server. Im running a custom version of killing-strike. Fixed a lot of cheetah's bugs. And changed a lot of other things. 206.217.135.86:7707 Have fun guys. If you enjoy this mod I will continue to update it and throw up more servers for it.
Also youll need to download these files and place them in your KF directory until I setup fast download.

Bought it, hated it. It was only ever remotely good when used with Garry's Mod. Gameplay is too constrictive for me and it's simply a competition for who can turn their head the quickest. Pass.
Yeah. I think Killing-Strike is much better. Killing floor is much more realistic combat. And the gameplay is all around better. Though it lacks the advertising it truly deserves. I think if you guys tried Killing-Strike out you would like it. Because I know some get bored of shooting zombies all day. Now you can blow away your bud with a LAW! 
Why is there no weapon motion when you move? Why is it so stiff?
Btw play this brilliant game in browser(demo of the game).
It has one of the best immersions in FPS genre.
looooooooooooooooooooooooool
I'm not childish, I swear.
And I think that's all part of the "Counter-Strike" ambiance. Looked really crap to me compared to moving animations, so I don't know why anyone would remove them...
