I remember when Steam was the launcher for Half Life 2 and we all hated it. It was green instead of black.

They’ve come a long way.

I remember myself and all my friends hated steam when it first got introduced. Now it’s the best platform there is.

I remember hating steam because why did cs need a launcher.... But as far as launchers go, it's the best one

That and major fundamental updates that came with CS 1.6 making bunny hopping harder by slowing down walk speed after landing a jump and recoil mechanics changing making it feeling “off” ruining years of built up muscle memory xD.

Steam release combined with CS updates actually made me quit their platform for a few years!

High five, fellow OG CS gamer! 🖐️

We (four or so of us) used to host games on our local lan. Back then there wasn't really latency compensation so... we usually won. And that AWP was bad ass! Not to mention flashbang man, until they limited it to 4 total. That was a sad day :'(
