CS is a lot simpler to learn, I think, despite the similarly high skill ceiling. Getting good at CS involves a lot of the same skills as boomer shooters, just without the bhopping, rocket-jumping, memorizing/tracking respawn times for items, and stuff like that.

That, and in boomer shooters (at least in 1v1s / 2v2s) there’s the issue of your opponent gaining so much momentum that it can be hard to get the items/resources you need to turn the tide back on them. But in CS it’s relatively easy to turn the tide the next round with pistols or cheap SMGs.
