Are Multiplayer games starting to suck?

Okay, whats up with multiplayer games, cheating, and so-called bug fixes? In the new Counter-Strike 1. 4, they fixed it so you can't plant the bomb while moving. . . lol, ok, you know in real life its impossible for you to carry an explosive, arm it, and drop it on the ground while you're walking/running, WTF!

Okay, whats up with multiplayer games, cheating, and "so-called" bug fixes? In the new Counter-Strike 1.4, they "fixed" it so you can't plant the bomb while moving...lol, ok, you know in real life its impossible for you to carry an explosive, arm it, and drop it on the ground while you're walking/running, WTF! Bunny Hopping? I know its annoying, but its part of the game, why is this such a problem with CS and not other games? What about cheating? First of all, Cheaters suck, just so all of you out there know. But any more its getting so bad that I don't even play on the net anymore, i'm on a 56k modem (not by choice), it sucks when server admins run cheat protection software that constantly scans for cheats/hacks, for christ's sake, i NEED every ounce of bandwidth i can spare, otherwise i wouldn't tweak my games' configs just so i can get a ping below 300ms, i don't need scans and third party programs like Cheating Death and Punkbuster running in the background sucking up CPU cycles and precious bandwidth that I NEED! Anyway, this is some of the sh1t that crosses my mind and pisses me off. I don't care if people don't feel the same way i do about this, but the thing is, a lot of you know you feel the same way i do.

There is no "I" in team for sure, but there is a M and an E for "ME", and I don't mean Windows ME.

Hey I saw you online, by the time I joined u were gone...
The custom sounds annoy me as well, we're working on a soundpack to make it easier to dload (HL client crashes sometimes when u dload before a map starts). Shall we set a time?
 
Now it's 19:00 PM CET (1 PM eastern), how about we meet in an hour or something? I have HLSW on and I see who's there
