"Although it’s difficult to grasp while standing in the shadow of its vertiginous learning curve,‭ ‬Counter-Strike represents the very point at which players can exert mastery over a dynamic system.‭ ‬This is not a game of anarchic,‭ ‬from-the-hip gunplay.‭ It’s balanced to razor-sharp precision thanks to years of service by its fanbase‭ – ‬the variables trimmed to a golden proportion that leaves little room for happenstance,‭ ‬only skill.‭ ‬Years after its release,‭ ‬no online FPS has rivalled (sic) the delicacy of this balance." - Edge
