Sorta OT: Economist article on Counterstrike


Recommended Posts

Don't worry, it gets more on-topic...

In this week's issue of The Economist, they provide a brief, but positive assessment of the Half Life mod Counterstrike, which can be read online here.

The interesting part, to me, is the last bit:

<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>But perhaps what is most surprising about “Counter-Strike” is that it challenges the notion that all people want from online multiplayer computer games is mindless violence. In fact, it seems they want their violence in a more cerebral form entirely.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

In this light, it'd be interesting to see The Economist's take on CM.

Yep, I would like to see that too. biggrin.gif I think we should write to their Editors on that.

Actually, yesterday I read from a local paper that the largest online games competition is held in France which lasts for 50 hours. From the photo, I can see they are playing Counter-Strike.
