CS was really.. more of a mod though.

CoD is what most console junkies play, because most good FPS are PC-only while consoles get watered down games. People claim that CoD was somehow the best, despite other games coming out prior to it. It's the only "mainstream" game, that most people play on a daily basis.

Sure we have CSS, but that's a PC-only game. So people claim it's not as mainstream, due to all the kiddies can't play it on the consoles. Really if you went back to the older games, that were arena shooters (non-realistic dur..) it was actually more fun. People were pretty fun to play against online, and in these console generations we get kids screaming in our ear over things.

CA is a fast-paced arcade FPS (if you think about it..), while CoD is more "realistic". Just because it came out first doesn't make it, the top of the food chain in terms of FPS games. CS/CSS still have a large gamer base, consoles make up the larger CoD population though. Due to hardware never changes, unlike a PC which can vary on many things.
