If anything though, Neosempai and Nolimit's responses could be viewed by many as bordering on exactly the same childish/arrogant attitude that liquidthick was accusing all CS players to have. In fact, Mekk's response shows that there are some mature players in the game. The problem is that the immature, loud, annoying, use any other adjective you want, players are the ones that get the most attention. Due to CS having such a large player base the idiots and immature fools are even more obvious. So while stereotyping all CS players like liquidthick did would be wrong (and some could say immature in it's own right), anyone with any experience with CS would have to admit that that is the appearance that is put out because there are so dang many of these "kids" that won't shut up. Heck, as mekk pointed out, rampant immaturity is even the impression through a large portion of the CS community as well. Doesn't mean that it is true of all CS players.
As for the claims that one game takes more skill than the others? All games take skill. Don't kid yourself into thinking that just because YOU play the game it has to take more skill than any other game . Just because it is a different type of skill than you are used to doesn't mean there isn't any involved. Does being a great Warcraft3 player takes more or less skill than being a great CS player? Not really, just different types of skill. When you compare games such as BF1942 and CS the skills get even more similar but still might not be exactly the same. One might take more critical thinking versus twitch reflexes, but there's still skill involved. It all depends on what you like in a game though, when it comes to which skills you admire more. Doesn't mean they aren't there though.
