Right now, we're not trying to provide a finely tuned quality difference
between servers to players looking for a server. Instead, we're focused on
finding and removing the very worst servers. This is why we're not showing

It's a pretty close answer to a number of the ones that people have brought up

The game was built to play against other people, not fight the horde and fight

The Counter-Strike models use 9 way blending (parametric animation), which
means that there are a bunch of different animations per model that get
blended together to give you more fluid movement.

imagine how much more math i
