As a noob to the professional counter strike scene, what made 1.6 better than source, besides the obvious thing of not getting feedback from the 1.6 pros and just churning out a sequel. Without getting angry lol, can someone explain? like what elements were changed, etc. thanks!

Valve has already missed the competitive gaming boat.

They had a huge opportunity when the CS 1.6 competitive scene was at its peak. All they had to do was create a proper sequel that kept the good elements of 1.6, invite the pros and community to give feedback and pledge to support the esports scene. If they had done that, they would have had the undying support of the competitive scene.

Unfortunately, unlike Blizzard which did follow the aforementioned advice, Valve decided fuck competitive gaming, we'll just throw together a half-assed sequel because it's easy money. Nobody was consulted, the community didn't know what to think, and the game itself was missing those key elements that made 1.6 so good. The result was that as a competitive game CS:S was an absolute failure.

On the other hand Blizzard did it the correct way, and even though there of course will be people who prefer BW to SC2 (like 1.6 vs CS:S) the fact is that SC2, in stark contrast to CS:S, is a success as a competitive game.

Valve now sees the buzz and numbers surrounding SC2 and how it's growing as a competitive game, and how fostering a competitive community actually attracts casual gamers and is good for their business as a whole, and now they try to jump onto the bandwagon.

Well I'm sorry Valve, but you've betrayed our trust once already and the fact that you're getting CS:S "pros" instead of 1.6 pros already does not bode well for this new version of CS. Although I do think that there's a slim chance that this might be successful, I fear the ship may have already sailed for CS, and I for one will not support a company that had the easiest and best opportunity to support esports and they failed so miserably. A giant FUCK YOU to the community from Valve.

P.S. I sent Gabe an email years ago explaining to him the vision for esports and their opportunity they had and how they just needed to update 1.6 with the support of the community, I never got a response.

I feel the same way. In fact the moment I saw they invited source players to give feedback I just lost it.

I think 3k2 (the guy in the AMA, a Danish player) had a good point when he mentioned that 1.6 players would just say "all of this is new", whilst css players can point out the differences between css and cs:go. That doesn't take away the point that Valve had to invite a couple of 1.6 pro's to, I'm sure someone like carn is more than willing to work cooperatively with the development team. Most of the invited source players have a good knowledge of 1.6, as they have supported the new development team that's updating source atm, the game is WAY better than it was in the beginning, it's just 5 years late .

I just hope this game can unite both communities, but I too think Valve has missed a chance with Source and that it's too little too late by now

and no russian walk, no +2 ppl stacks, no wallspam, no turning away from flashes, no instant smokepops, free ammo (which was implemented later, in the original source you had to buy it), the maps were bugged as hell (inferno & d2 are fixed, train/nuke are still crap)

Not to mention the inability to shoot through as many objects/walls/doors (if any, as I stopped playing source right away). It just didn't feel the same to be honest, to much clutter on the screen and you`re right about the other two. I played CS 1.6 up to a pro-level years ago, and all the new stuff they are adding already doesn't sound like CS.

Ammo was free in CS:S as well.

Anyways this is the important thing imo: "Focuses on 5v5 competition", I just hope they know what they're doing. Edit2: Actually, I really hope they get feedback from the 1.6 pros as well as the Source pros, there's a good reason so many people think Source was a step down.

Most people say it was because they dumbened down the recoil, stupid flashes that dont work, jump and moving feels sluggish etc. Also smokes that had no effect whatsoever (which has been fixed after over 5years of waiting)

But I've always believed that it's because for some reason, be it netcode or how the game maps are like, CSS is completely defenders advantage. CT's have it easy and T's have it easy when they have the bomb down. I personally blame the clutter on the maps and lack of being able to spam walls.

If you want to understand the differences.

Think Broodwar vs SC2

So....it'll be Source 2.0, not competitive counterstrike 2.0.

Apparently it's focusing on 5v5 competitive play so I'm somewhat optimistic it will end up better than CSS. People hating on it already without even seeing/playing it are being a bit silly.

Slasher posted on twitter that none of the testers at Valve were 1.6 people, they were all Source people, that and they're using the source engine still, I mean how different from source are we expecting it to be?

cpma is a quake3 mod that was made to be faster and have a higher skill ceiling. It was pretty succesful mod.


I dont want to be totally out :3

I would like a CS game that would have real world physics, something I expected of CS Source.
I want boxes to be breakable. I want grenades to feel and act more deadly. I want if you shoot someone in the leg they become slower and an arm shot makes the weapon less stable.

I want heavy explosives that can break through the wall and change the battlefield for that one round.

It's a shame CS is pretty much dead nowadays. Hopefully it can come back!


Have a look at the stats on the Steam website. CS and CSS are among the most played games, still, after all these years.

I'm very interested to see what they'll do with it. Seems unlikely somehow that they'll create a single player campaign, although I would love to see Valve do that.



They may be the most played games in the casual pub scene. But the competitive tournament scene is almost completely dead with the end of Caleague and such. Hopefully they can bring back some good leagues and tournaments where it can be worth it for players to get back into it.
