that's true there are some cheaters in Counter-strike .. it's what I
feel is ruining some people's play time
but it's not a huge impact as if you find someone that is either
totally cheating or you get frustrated you just move to another server
and it's a new game all over again
though that game if you play for awhile get good then quit and come
back later .. you'll find you have to practise all over again because
you're rusty it's one of those games you have to play off and on to
keep your aim accurate, but it doesn't require you to play constantly
as their's no reward other then just a score in a server
