    CS beta 5 is when CS really took off, and got a lot more polished. Maybe it went downhill for you because so many people were playing it?

      yah you're right. thats the main reason but also i was just pissed that so many things kept being changed with every beta. as soon as you go tused to it, oh sorry we changed everything. i was getting tired of that.
