Kind of off topic, but I've really lost interest in a lot of "traditional" FPS games like CS and even CoD over the course of lockdown. Myself and my friends who played Halo for years have since migrated to more tactical and realistic games like Arma and Escape from Tarkov. EFT especially offers a lot more depth than these types of games. CS just felt formulaic after a while and there was an element of discovery that…

I'm making an FPS game right now that is comparatively an extreme technical challenge for players. You're a first person tentacle monster with a mechanical typewriter, and the words in your heart, as your weapon. No multiplayer planned yet (besides what people can do with copy/paste and email) need to carve the niche first.

Just put your game in my steam wishlist! I love typing games, and its nice to see new ones getting created.

I really don't mind the individual pages and I don't think it really "pollutes" the browser history either. Rather, I think it makes it much easier to link a friend to a specific comparison.

You can do this without spamming history, just replace the state instead of pushing it.

I think you should be using `replace` more judiciously. IMO its primary use is redirecting from some kind of invalid state/URL, i.e. when the user does not want to ever go back.

For all valid states/URLs, users expect that the browser's back and forward button work as expected, and that they can save or send that link to others.

I think that's the whole point, actually. The game itself is pretty known, as well as it's strategies; to get good, it really requires raw mastery and someone with a feel to know which strategy to apply when. The simplicity of CS is, in my opinion, it's main selling point.

I love CS. I mean I love the franchise as a whole but the original was such a breath of fresh air in what 2000. The gunplay is so good. It's unfortunate that even today it is impossible to play without hearing 4chan racial slurs for the lulz. Very toxic community.

As others said, toxic players can be easily blocked. Unfortunately, sometimes that is not enough because they continue to abuse other players (with friendly fire, friendly flashes etc…) To be fair, players like that are very rare. In my experience, much bigger problem are cheaters. From those who don’t even hide it to very leery ones.

I think that many players would gladly change CSGO with similar game (even non free), in which cheating is harder. Valorant seems better then CS in that regard, but for me biggest dealbreaker is unrealistic aspect of it.

As an ex-pro CS player (circa 2003-2007), this is pretty neat. Unfortunately, even though CS might have a fairly deep weapon pool, only a very small subset of weapons are actually used in competition (I'd wager 85+% of gameplay mostly involves the M4, AK, AWP, Deagle, and USP/Glock). Situationally, a few weapons would be interesting to compare (the MAG-7 and Scout come to mind), but the tool isn't particularly useful…

I think the most useful feature is the damage fall off at range. It would be nice to visually see how far away a target is when you adjust the feet away/units away.

I played CS very non-professionally right at that same time. My go to weapon was the AUG/Bullpup. It seemed to me to have the best combination of spread/range/firing speed/damage. Curious why it didn’t make the cut. Edit: before I got into CS I played a lot of Delta Force and got pretty good at it. I was very proud of my screenshots where I won matches with a 30+ point lead. My weapon of choice there was a heavier ma…

Was it the m60 or m240? Was it delta force BHD? Good times :)
