Guess someone here never played Counter Strike. Stating shotgun as an anti-pro weapon is the biggest joke ever. If you are bad in counterstrike, I'll school you with a knife no matter what weapon you've got. If you've ever seen CS played on competetive level, with pro gamer owning public with 60-0 score rusing with just pistol giving heads here and there.
CS does have a steep learning curve, but if you are noob I guarantee you, you won't frag progamer ever.
Unreal Tournament was never considered harder than CS, Quake 3 is a different thing though. Still, the main dif. in CS is teamwork and cooperation aside from great aim, ability to read the game and quick thinking. Quake was more about quick reflex and memorizing map movement patterns.
Even remotely comparing CS to MarioKart is insulting.
MY HYPE LIST: 1) Gran Turismo 5; 2) Civilization V; 3) Starcraft II; 4) The Last Guardian; 5) Metal Gear Solid: Rising
