It sucks but just tell yourself that you’ve probably put a smile on the face of a twelve year old gamer who was doubting the quality of the cheats/hacks they just bought.

de_dust2 is still one of the most popular maps though, so if you played the original CounterStrike, twenty years ago(!), you might still do ok.
