On how people misinterpreted the game

When people first heard about quake, all the fellows in the college thought it was the most beautiful game ever created. People were engaged in playing quake tournments all through the nights and days bunking classes. It was the tournments of one on one that took place initially.Well i shoud say that i was the top player when it was introduced because i had some pre hand experience of the game earlier at home. Now that all people started playing, my glory days started fading away. It was in the holidays that i went to my brother and then i saw him playing the most popular game of the world. Counter strike. It was all a team work that matters in the game and not an individual's glory which was that in quake.
Now about the game.. it has a different type of maps and missions to be accomplished. It mainly has two teams playing against each other. Terrorists and Counter Terrorists. Now the maps are
fy types: there is no difference between a quake team death match and the fy types. u will be provided with guns like in matrix movie and kill all the other team members. now the problem here comes this way. The standard game consists of a 5v5 teams. but we play about 14v14. The map gets too crowdy and one cannot afford that type of map.

cs types: Here the counter terrorists are to rescue a given number of hostages from a situation. The terrorists are to stop that rescue. the map consists of so many areas and spots to hide for both of the teams. the main misinterpretaion done here is the same thing. the game will lose its beauty if the number of players are more. they just keep on coming and its really tough to kill someone with out getting hurt in the game. The most irritating part of the game. The initial money. Any standard game will have an initial money of 800 dollars by which one can buy at most a kevlar and some ammo. u need to keep killing to gain money and the round won gives u 3000$. a round lost will give $1000. the draw back was the initial money is kept $16000 , the limit for the money. so whenever one loses all the money, all he needs to do is to spectate and come back to get that money. This made the game worse. All the people want a sniper which happens to be the costliest and the deadliest weapon of the game. A sniper is to be all the more responsible and the most cunning person of the game. and when we play a 14v14 match with about 8 of them as snipers.. it looks more like quake than like CS.
de types: The map consists of planting a bomb by the terrorists and the CT has to diffuse or kill the terrorists before they plant the bomb in that spot. Here is the problem of Spectate all kept on the server. U can make a terrorist not plant a bomb if u die in ct. Go to his first person view and keep pressing ` when he plants the bomb.This has made the game more like cheaters and stupids. one of the most troubled things of the game is the friendly fire kept on and the killing of team killers for the next round. Some people when get irritated kill the team members and reduce the strength. Friendly fire is kept to make the game more realistic but none understands the meaning of team spirit.
At last i would like to say that the game is to be played as it is. be it the competition or practise. Earn your own money and try out all the guns. There are guns more effective than snipers.
