the reason i stopped playing was because movement was severely nerfed/reset to default on the server a while ago (sv_maxspeed is set to 320? just why). part of the fun was bhopping around, trying out jumps or getting a good kill. now the server is filled with awp sweats that camp a roof and spawn kill. personally i can't play on the server for more than a few minutes because of how bland it is. there were also some servers that were actually good, but were deleted. office > everything else
if the css division wants to increase pop, they should be actively adding things to the servers for players to stay on longer. the hg shop is either broken or disabled currently, you don't get vip for being in the top 20, and usually whenever i do join, most of the players are afk in spec, so its just fighting against bots. there is nothing to work towards, no reason to keep playing anymore.
