Is it just me.. or...

do anyone else get this?

If you dont play CS for a while:
-You become a nub
-You cant do HS
-You cant jump

If you dont play CS without sounds:
-You get knifed, backstabbed, walled.

I don't find that time affects skill much in FPS games. It usually only takes a few minutes to get it back, and a lot of other games can often make FPS games even easier. With Counter-Strike, the only reason your skill would dwindle would be because an update is released that changes something dramatically (like a netcode change or changes in spray patterns).

And I play CS by ear, never without sound. I refuse to play CS without a good pair of headphones. It's just a habit of mine. Although I'm sure playing without sound can help in many aspects of CS gaming, I wouldn't find it much of an advantage.

Took me a month to recover from my 7 months abstinance. Haven't played much since WoW came out and i can already feel my skills deteriorating.

yea, I havent played for probly few weeks, and I already suck at it,

When I said FPS games, I meant computer FPS games. CS didn't change for me even when I hadn't played for over three months prior to CS:S's release. Halo, on the other hand, I can never seem to get used to. If I set the controller down for more than a couple weeks, I have to relearn the game all over again.

 

[COTA-GoD]

i can always get back to halo, cs took me a bit longer to get used to again.

CS takes me a few, but I can get back into my groove.. I'm shit right now due to lineage whoring. If I try, I can still hold myself even to plus in a pubbie :x

 

[RuneyPoo]

I don't know about that, I will have to see by getting back into CS. Last time I came back, I blew major donky raping bung hole...

 

[Brandon]

Yeah, thats what happends, to me but with the hs thing i never can really. O_O

Not really. I played CS a lot and I really couldn't get the hang of it. Except in one round where I killed 6 people with an MP5 ^_^. I can jump, but getting shot while jumping is annoying. And HSing is all about timing and aiming before your enemy can do the same to you.

Dont worry it happens to everyone im CAL-IM and if i dont play for a week or 2 im a complete newbie and yes i still say newbie hehe

 

[KOLOSSAL]

For me it only takes 5 hours for me to warm up then I'm about as good as I used to be.

 

[DARK TEAR]

yes... its unbeleiveable how crappy i've become... even though i don't play a whole bunch, its still sick

 

[jd-inflames]

I still haven't gotten to play enough to get back where I used to be Sadly I wasn't GREAT to begin with, just better than some.

And when I play at LAN parties and host a server, I normally keep footsteps off. It balances it off for those newer people who aren't as advanced in the game. Not that I can't play off of footsteps, but I like to deal with as little whining as I can.

 

[ChrisH36]

I was pretty decent in the beginning. My pistol skills and MP5 skills are gawd compared to others. Then when awps and M4a1's get purchased, then I begin to lack awesomness.

 

[IceDevil9]

As long as you don't go playing too many drastically different games, your CS skills should be fine, I can always pull plus in pubbies, but I've been CS whoring lately =/

I hadn't played in while then went into a pub and killed the whole other team. Then they got mad and called me a hacker, but I'm getting worse from not playing now.

 

[ChrisH36]

The last time I played I got speedhacked.
