If you had mentioned UT2004 I might have a little respect for you. As a gamer... a serious gamer, comparing cs to q3 is like comparing kubrik to cartoon network. Q3 physics is sloppy, movement does not effect aim which leads to strafe wars. I doubt you were in either cal-i or cpl, and left with the mindset that q3 takes more skill ( physical ability), then CS. I think you'll find the view I have as the general consensus among the gaming community. So keep buying the garbage on the bestbuy shelves if you prefer bright colors over refined gameplay.
Comparing Doom3 to CS Source is silly. Doom3 has great 1p and laughable multiplayer. CS has no 1p and refined muiltiplayer. What makes CS good is not gfx, It consistency. I know when I load dust1 up that It will be exactly the same, that my fps aren't going to go in the crapper, and that when I kill someone it is because I aimed better.
The reason that CS is so successful is that anyone can be good as long as they have skill, and with skill you really can kill anyone with any gun. It's not a race to the bfg9000 like most other games.
Maybee some of the other game companies will catch on one of these days that people want refinement online not cool looking water reflections that lead to the likes of 20fps.
