message: Why detail the weapons here when the Counter-Strike equipment 'article' desperately needs attention? --Mrwojo 18:15, 10 Nov 2004 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree. There's also a discrepancy regarding the FN Five-SeveN: the main Counter-Strike article states "has a fast firing rate but is pathetically inaccurate"' while the equipment article says "Advantages of this gun include its high accuracy". So which is it?--Nick R 15:46, 4 May 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Okay, I've now transferred the information in the main CS article over to the CS equipment article, which is much better written. --Nick R 10:56, 9 May 2005 (UTC)

message: if anybody can tell me... how do we create a game on CS n can people download this game simply from the internet coz i tried downloadin it from the internet, n it came as a file but when i clicked on it i didn't get the required results... or on the other hand should i jus buy a CD from a gaming shop or somethin n then install it?

You need Steam to play CS and other Valve Software games now. You download it through the Steam client, either by paying for it or by entering the CD-Key from a retail version of Half Life or Counter-Strike. --FlooK 03:33, 18 August 2005 (UTC)

message: Today an anon made changes to the short list of teams that have come out of CAL. I don't know if it's vandalism, self-promotion or real information. Perhaps we should only list teams which have pages on Wikipedia? Or those that have won CPL tournaments? Or none at all? --Habap 17:30, 30 August 2005 (UTC)

replies: text: My bad. It was a red link when I saw it, so I assumed it was simple nonsense. I imagine it must have been mis-spelled or something at the time. I concur that it fits with the normal nonsense level of the article.... ;-) --Habap 18:32, 28 September 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  Related Topics 

message: There are way too many links in the article, and most of them don't belong.  I vote for pouring a little chlorine into the link pool to remove some of the spammy ones...
The guiding pages: WP:NOT and When should I link externally.
These ones definitely need to stay:
* Counter-Strike
* Counter-Strike: Condition Zero
This one should probably stay:
* Steam
These ones though all look to be link spam.  A nice, comprehensive list really.

Granted, perhaps I'd be hacking away at a little too much.  I won't deny taking a few of the guidelines to the extreme; usually I consider a link to be unnecessary if it's not an authoritative reference for the article or adding any sort of encyclopedic value.  But there are definitely too many links right now, and some of them should go.  Comments?  Recommendations?  Suggestions on what to keep and what to purge? --Cylik 15:30, 16 November 2005 (UTC)

message: Can someone tidy up the CS:S section?
In some places, CS:S is described as being wonderful and every home should have it. In others, it's a buggy pile of poo that no-one worth playing with is playing.
I can see there may be a controversy about which is right, but the current section is just a mess when it comes to this issue.

thread_title:  Counter-Strike: Source - good or bad 

message: I have just added headings and a few paragraphs to the already busy CS:S section and i think that it's size within the article necessitates it's own page like CS:Condition Zero.
Information in the article that applies to CS as a whole can be expanded in each CS game's page (eg: official maps).
Anyone care to comment/support my action on this?
:Concur. Keep the basics here and put Source info on its own page. --Habap 16:06, 19 December 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  Separate page for CS:S? 

message: Anyone care to comment on whether a mention should be made to CS's 'newb unfriendly' status due to it's sheer uncompromising gameplay? If anyone remembers actually getting into CS, having never played a tactical shooter before is a long hard road lined with mocking and l337 players shouting 'n00b!' Anyone care to mention about CS's intrinsic difficulty for newer players??

:Perhaps this could go into the Counter-Strike culture article. I don't think it's a characteristic of the game, but rather of the culture surrounding the game. Most complex games are equally difficult to learn. Maybe the time waiting for the next round inspires the mockery? It's no more intrinsically difficult than Day of Defeat, which doesn't have the same reputation and has rapid respawns. --Habap 18:38, 3 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: The game isn't difficult for new players. People do mock the new players, but they can improve withut doubt.--AquaFox 13:57, 7 April 2006 (UTC)

message: For some reason the Counter-Strike page is displaying incorrectly under Mozilla Firefox. I've compared several different versions of the page, and I can't find what might be causing the issue...--BLaCkDeAtH
:Could you be more specific? I am using Mozilla and having no problem. --Habap 20:46, 23 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Appears fine today, in Mozilla. What was happening, was that the Wikipedia logo (that whole left bar and the top bar that shows your logged-in info) was appearing down in the actual article. Screwy. --BLaCkDeAtH 14:35, 24 January 2006 (UTC)
