In case no one remembers. Back in 2000 - 2003 there were several debates regarding Quake vs counter strike vs Unreal tournament.
They usually ended up in favor of Quake or UT, while Counter strike was primarily defended as being a good team oriented game no one denied it being forgiving and slow paced. I also remember that fanboys weren't as ignorant as they are today.
Now, rarely even anyone knows about Quake and thinks that Counter strike is the ¨competitive HQ¨.
You could call me the COD kid from the early 2000's for playing clan matches like an addict with my neighborhood friends on counter strike, and staying away from Quake that my brother played like a champ.
What did you prefer back in the days?
