I played CS very non-professionally right at that same time. My go to weapon was the AUG/Bullpup. It seemed to me to have the best combination of spread/range/firing speed/damage. Curious why it didn’t make the cut.

Edit: before I got into CS I played a lot of Delta Force and got pretty good at it. I was very proud of my screenshots where I won matches with a 30+ point lead. My weapon of choice there was a heavier machine gun with a model I don’t remember. It wasn’t scoped and didn’t have great accuracy but due to the size of the hit boxes I could still spray and pray pretty efficiently at snipers from a large distance. I was never fast enough at close quarters but the fact that you could see a dot that you knew was a sniper and shoot them down before they got the chance to move while you stay on the move really did help.

There was a cultural agreement to not use those weapons. Back then the community had to create rules for the game.

The AUG and other scoped rifles have seen a fair bit of competitive use, depending on their current state of balance.

yes this is the reason why aug/sg were not being used then

It has had a few times where it’s been meta in niche situations even in later iterations of CS

Was it the m60 or m240? Was it delta force BHD? Good times :)

It was! And based on quick searches I think it might have been the m60 but I’d have to fire up the game to be sure.
