The world of Counter-Strike is as much a battlefield for fierce gunfights as it is for passionate debates. A recent instance is the brouhaha over preferable aspect ratios, as users stake claims for 4:3 and 16:9.
Breakdown of the Banter
- A user playfully suggested that those who stick to the ‘retro’ 4:3 ratio are, in essence, more ‘alpha’.
- Interestingly, the gaming community did not unanimously agree. Several users pointed out that 16:9 could potentially enhance gameplay.
- The discussion took a fun twist with a user declaring ‘Real alpha males use 5:4. 4:3, then 1280:1024’.
