God I miss those times, it was all about skills. Cheating was also also extremely rare in CS (according to my memories) during the earlier 2000s. Loved that game

Server culture was a bulwark against cheating.

There still are community servers for old games like CS 1.6. Personally, I prefer CS:Source which feels less dated, controls feel much better, and the game works properly on widescreen monitors.

The point is that there is still a dedicated player base. You can still play them.

Sadly CS:Source is rife with hacks and cheats. 1.6 still has really good servers.
