I think the main problem is when you start shooting someone in the back with an AK and they spin round, take 100% of your health and walk away with only 50% of theirs missing. Oh, and then start teabagging you.

Fucking Valve fucking Netcode. Way too frustrating to be fun when that's going on.

Thats not an issue as you can walk by using slight movements on the stick and generally aiming is the most awkward in close quarters when you really don't want to be walking anyway.

Disagree. When you don't have a walk key assigned, your reticule (i.e., your accuracy) goes bat shit when you move, even slowly. If you're walking, you can keep much finer control over where your shots go. I find when the shit hits the fan and you walk around a corner straight into a guy from the other team, it's usually the guy that keeps his head straight and takes his time to aim properly that comes away alive. Walking keeps you mobile enough to be hard to aim at, but doesn't dick with your aim as much as running does.

Horses for courses, I suppose.

Haven't had much lag on my end with this. I have had a few games where I swear I'm firing blanks, but so far I've ascribed that to my limited skill. If I actually get good at this and still find that people are shrugging off headshots, I'll start complaining about the net code.

Yeah, that's what I did. I also swapped LB and A, so I don't have to move my thumb to jump.

Just had a thought. Seeing as this is on PSN as well as XBLA/Steam, does this mean it's playable on a Vita?

No

I got suckered by the demo. I played the hour against bots then pressed the UNLOCK FULL GAME button knowing full well I will hardly play it online or the community will die.
But I suppose it is one if those games you must own or have the gamer badge ripped from your blazer in a official ceremony before you are sent out into the cursed earth.

Yeah it won't last past the next CoD but I think it will have a decent number of players up until then.

Cheer up, emo kid.

I tried again and it still sucks balls. Pumping bullets into people till the clip empties and they still kill you and have near 100% health.

.        Yeah unless you've got lag issues in every game you're shooting wrong. Little tip, shooting when you're moving is a bad idea. You're playing a game with no auto aim and unforgiving recoil, killing people is hard. Nexx i haven't seen you on this yet, if I buy it you'll be playing right?

Yeah I'll be playing, just let me know whenever you're on.

True that. One of the skulls in Halo CEA turns aim assist off completely. It's only when it's really gone do you notice how much it's there.

Maybe if you had spent some time playing a proper FPS like Halo you wouldn't suck so much at Counter Strike.

I had some epic death cam lols moments with Knight earlier.  Being the last one alive and knowing everyone is watching you is a lot like when you need to walk past someone hot and completely over think how to walk.  No?  Just me?...

You really do get uppity when it comes to console v PC, Nexx.

Who really gives a shit?

I call Mod shit, he rips into Halo and then we play PC and console games together and have fun times.  Its just banter, relax.

Aztec is probably my least favourite of the bomb maps but this could just be because its the one that I've played the least.

Inferno and Dust (1) are the most interesting maps to play IMO.

Inferno is the one in the town. The one with the trains is called Train, which is also a decent map.

To be fair all of the maps are quite good. In a backwards kind of way they remind me of the CoD4 maps before they turned them into big clusterfucks in subsequent CoDs.
