EDIT: there was a dota 2 tournament for 1 MILLION DOLLARS
*insert villain from austin powers here*

 

Counter strike is one of the hardest FPS games in the world. there's no aim down sights, the accuracy is so low (so it's like real life) so you have to do short controlled bursts, and guns with scopes don't help, if you move.

 

COD thats when just. cod XD lol when people made fun new war games then RP's came to lace then minigames and thats how

 

This isn't CoD :P It's CS:GO the total opposite of CoD

 

Gaming was always hardcore.

The Nintendo World Championships was an event hosted in 1990 by Nintendo, where you could compete for prizes and got to keep a cartridge for the game itself.

Nowadays, the cartridges sell for about 100k each.

Just a bit of history for you. ;)

 

I think gaming got hardcore sometime around the start of the Xbox/PS2 war. I read a lot of video game history stuff, so that's my best guess from what I've read.

 

Dota 2 international championship

wanna know what the grand prize was?

 

Austin Powers?

 

CS:GO, ahh I "love" that game. I've tried shooting a guy using an SMG, wasted all 30 rounds, but he killed me with 1 bullet from his hand pistol. I ain't joining this tournament if this kind of things happen! XD

 

And that's why i sort of hate that game. TOO REALISTIC
