Oh sweet summerchild.

When OG games were released we were playing on LAN with BNC terminators. That's why the Q1 netcode is so bad.

When we moved to online we didn't had the infra we have today.

Bonus point: CS at one point just halved the ping in the UI so players would think it was more responsive.
