It has to be one of those classic Counter-strike moments, back in the day I used to play clan wars.
One particular moment comes to mind, 5v5 on de_dust, we were Terrorists. We were getting decimated, they had a good all around defence, but ultimately they got complacent. For some reason I don't quite understand, I changed my nickname to R2D2, grabbed a MP5 and sprinted..
Up the stairs, into the inside area, to the right and jump... over the ledge into the end of the underpass. Noone saw a thing. Soon enough I was up the ramp behind enemy lines, sweep to the right, round the back towards the CT sniper area, quick burst to the back of the head of an enemy still heading out, MP5 flung to the ground, M4 brought forward from the ground and bullets nailed into the head of the startled sniper, all in a single fluid motion.
What was that? 20 seconds? Two kills, full health, fully armed.. except the rest of my team is dead and the bomb is back in the base somewhere.. oh well.. here we go!
Somehow the slow stage to follow was a common occurence. I quietly cursed my team for firstly dieing and secondly for leaving the bomb where they always did. I was a master of stealth, trusty headphones telling me exactly where they were. My arms would tremble, my heart beat. You stalk your prey, until they make a fatal mistake.. a footstep. A single footstep.
It's all worth it as the silence breaks and you're brought into the next round by screams of excitement and appreciation by the rest of your team. This is what made CS such a good game.
