Question 2

True or false: Smoke grenades can be extinguished by shooting them with a high-caliber weapon.

True. David Johnston created Dust II as a follow-up to his original Dust map, which won a fan map contest hosted by Valve.

Question 4

True or false: You can defuse the bomb through walls if you stand close enough to it.

Question 5

True or false: The Zeus x27 kills instantly regardless of where it hits the enemy.

Question 8

True or false: In early CS versions, you could wallbang through metal doors with the P90.
