I'm not trying to defend CS or try to proclaim it the greatest game of all time. The simple truth is that there are ten times as many people playing CS as there are any other game. The numbers speak for themselves. The idea that hype alone would keep those numbers high is beyond stupid. If there were nothing to the game, people would try it and stop. That's clearly not happening. People are trying it and continuing to play.
Like it or not, believe it or not, it's the most popular (non-mmog) FPS multiplayer game on the net, and it has been for quite some time.
I appreciate the effort Valve has put into the game.
