    German gamers are uber hardcore. 90% of the tacops players are german.
    I came to the states once and played CS and TO there, and the pub players were AWFUL in comparison to the guys on germany. Also, EVERYONE here has teamspeak, so it's much more fun too.

    Players in Portugal play well (mostly due to cheats). I can get scores of about 20-5 regularly though

    But yeah, they are hardcore.

    The only time I ever played the SvM Beta with a complete stranger and had a great game was with a German. He was awesome. I swear to god, the rest of the time I only came across solid-state noobs.

    I am a German gamer well my passport says so but I am also half dutch - so fear me , the conflict of WW2 plays right inside me, so I am grouchy and I just happen to love FPS games....Desert Combat, NAM, HL2 you name it, I play it hard.....but I am a fair player, a german with nice playing etiquette is a hard thing to find, as I find a lot of german players quite annoying....hmm must be my dutch side

    Whereabouts are you? Here in Edmonton, gaming is rather popular. I constantly overhear jockish folks make plans to get together and play sports games or multiplayer games like Double Dash. Afterwards, they go out and get drunk then come back and play more.
