browser FPSs will never take off due to complete lack of protection from cheating, and cheating is the core implementation issue with FPSs.

#32I like how they have Russia as the flag of Europe despite most of the country not even being in Europe, most people would use the EU flag but I guess this is CS 1.6 so they are most likely a fair few Russians about.
I guess it is where the server is? See Asia (Indonesian flag?) Also most of the dannish kingdom's land is not in Europe either.
It is not indonesia but singapore which is just 0.0017% of asia.

Most of the land isn't in Europe but most of the population is and I daresay Russians outnumber other nationalities on European servers.

Russia is and always has been considered a European country.

#36How does this work? CS 1.6 is closed source, as is HL1 engine?
It's a clone with CS maps.
No, it seems to contain some leaked SDK and reverse engineered code: https://github.com/FWGS/cs16-client/tree/v1.32 , and to run on https://github.com/FWGS/xash3d-fwgs .

#37I love how people like to make browser versions of everything. From chat apps to email clients to games. But they all end up consuming 10x the memory but are still 10x slower than their native counterparts !

#38I don't know much about the topic - but from what I understand, Valve games use Protocol buffers and UDP connections to the lobby server, in their netcode (someone correct me if I'm wrong).
Is there an equivalent way to do this with the same level of efficiency in the browser? What are browsers missing in order to achieve this?

#39This could serve as a demonstration what a long way way web sockets/rtc/channels still have to go, since the experience is much worse even considering the ping compared to 20 year old netcode.

On the other hand, they don't require admin rights, disk space or installation time, and are platform independent (including for example chromebooks)
