Counter-Strike: Yes, it has gotten a bad reputation in some circles for the decidedly juvenile community it seems to support, but it is the single most popular first-person shooter Online today and has defined the genre with superbly balanced gameplay and highly addictive gameplay.

CS was, and is crap. Inudated with cheaters it became one of the worst multiplayer gamers on line with the netorious reputation rout by the cheaters.

The funny thing is, Tribes had the better of the two for locating and logging onto servers. Tribes system was, and amazingly still is decades ahead of anything HL or clones have ever come up with. Why is that?

Tribes held the title of most popular MP game for over three years, with nearly 48,000 servers on line at one time. Even by todays standards, it is still going strong. To hell with CS and any one who thinks it was the standard for MP FPS, because it was not.
