I remember back in 2005 I was 7 years old and saw my older brother playing this game on his new PC, and all I can remember is how fun and interesting it looked and sounded while i was watching him play. Eventually he let me play a few rounds with BOTs and I immediately loved it. It was one of, if not the very first game i played on PC and the rest is history. Now I take a look at it in 2022 after 7000+ hours and I think it's finally time to say goodbye. CS has brought me some great memories but in the last year it has been kinda hard to enjoy it. One of the reasons is playing CS:GO, which made me better notice the flaws of the older game that sadly never got addressed. First of all VAC in 1.6 hasn't been updated since 2012, so the cheating problem is even worse than in CSGO. Then there's the bad net code and the even worse player models that teleport left and right every time a player moves and strafes. Not to mention the hitboxes and limited crosshair customization. But what bothered me most of all was the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ scrolling(fast duck on mouse wheel), as if the noobs needed a trick to avoid shots and spam fire till they get a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ hit. That thing was removed on Source for a reason, but enough of spitting on the game I claim to love so much. CS 1.6 will forever be one of my all time favorites but I just can't seem to enjoy it as much I used to. I'll still be droppin' in every now and then but for now it's time to retire. I ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ love CS !!!

P.S. The 25th Anniversary update is pretty dope
