"Helps them keep
their minds sharp "
[QUOTE]The Taliban love "Counter-strike".
As long as they get to play as "terrorists".
The over ten year old "counter-strike" is still one of the world's most popular computer games. Now it turns out that the first person shooter - which puts terrorist against so-called "counter terrorist" - has an unexpected fan base. Namely, the terrorists themselves.
"Thought of Call of Duty"
In an article on the gaming site Kotaku, they interviewed Pakistani player Azim Durrani - an ordinary guy who happens to be residing in city which Osama bin Laden called his home during the last years of his life. Durrani compare Abbottabad with Smallville, Superman's hometown in the TV series of the same name, and says that the attack on bin Laden's complex of buildings made him think of "Call of Duty".
Moreover, Durrani says that he once had contact with a young man from north-western Pakistan, just on the border with Afghanistan, who enlisted with the Taliban.
Learns from "Counter-strike"
- He spent his adolescence in Kuwait and Bahrain, he was a big hip hop fan and pretty good at rapping. His father was a wealthy businessman in Kuwait. "I never asked how he was transformed from a teenager to aspiring Taliban, "said Durrani. But he learned another thing: What the Taliban's favorite game is.
- He told me how good the Taliban are on "Counter-strike" and that the game helps them keep their minds sharp. He told me to remember one thing: that the Taliban always play as terrorists ... LOL. [/QUOTE]

So the guy I was playing against was a real terrorist? :psyduck:
Terrorists use Counterstrike to keep minds sharp.
FPS now support terrorists.
Terrorists use Internet Explorer.
Internet browsers support terrorists.
counter-terrorists win
Must make for akward lan parties.
Too bad whenever they begin a match they immediately kill all the hostages.

No. The terrorists always win when only terrorists are playing.
[QUOTE=MachiniOs;29703599]Must make for akward lan parties.[/QUOTE]
especially when they react to losing by planting an actual bomb in the building
Someone email Gabe and ask what he thinks of this
i wonder if they toss a coin on who goes CT
or maybe they just always play against bots
[QUOTE=Laserbeams;29703641]No. The terrorists always win when only terrorists are playing.[/QUOTE]
Bin Laden is dead. CTs win.
But most terrorists see the west as the evil terrorists and themselves as the holy counter terrorists
Is it ok if I use my aim bot to kill terrorists?

Woo slippery slope.
They'll learn to always crouch before shooting from the hip.
To throw all their flashbangs everytime they feel "needed".
To always switch between their sniper and pistol instead of pulling the bolt.
To plant bombs at places with A's and B's.
To walk and run like retards.
The list goes on.
Different deal for CoD, they'll just run around with knives and trying to quickscope people.
Also, in before Fox News says games are promoting terrorism.
Also, I wonder if they ever rage while playing against those chinese kids from those Electronic league championship games .
Aftonbladet (the source) is the swedish response to fox news, fyi.
On the topic however: I wonder if they let their prisoners be the Counter Terrorists... :psyduck:
This just in : Taliban seen jumping around Afghanistan wielding AWPS

Oh god when Fox news get their hands on this :ohdear:

For a bunch of timed life terrorists, they don't even spend their money on something cool, like Bluetooth bin Laden with his sunglasses, dat mustache and that Moto V3 with a bluetooth set.

Oh Aftonbladet, you toiler paper of my western neighbors.
[QUOTE=Biotoxsin;29703652]Someone email Gabe and ask what he thinks of this[/QUOTE]

"Achmed, We must activate this C4 with the exact same code everytime."
