I don’t remember the specifics of this game, but snowballing is definitely not helpful.
Though what I really liked about older games, e.g. CS 1.6 is how it was purely skill-based and unforgiving. When I started playing, I barely had kills, was always dying. Then over time I became very good, and it was an incredibly rewarding experience.
It taught me that you can become great in almost anything, if you (1) have the motivation/discipline to keep persevering through failures, and (2) dedicate enough time to practice. A very valuable life lessons that kids these days are not getting from most games, as they are focused on opening their parent’s wallet for the newest shitty skins.
Yeah, this was my experience with Unreal Tournament 2004, at first you are the punching bag, but you learn, quicker than you may think, how the game works, and you will get better and better at it.
UT2004 is my all time favourite game, I bought it on the original 6 CD release, then on Steam for the convenience, and even later on GOG to get a DRM free version.
I feel like that’s how a lot of games handle tdm. Controlling points, especially weapon spawns, is most of the game.
CS2 made deathmatch FFA only and it’s the most braindead thing I’ve ever seen. Every time you spawn you get at most one kill before getting your head blown out by the 3 other guys staring right at where you spawned
They are against fucking Quake? This crosses the line…
Except when I’m the beneficiary of the snowball. Then it’s awesome and fun
