CSS is sh*t.

Many reasons for that, easy recoil, bigger head hitboxes, i don't even consider graphics good, it is goofy in css and graphics is irrelevant in counter-strike. It's soon to be completely dead now since cgs folded. Idiots from Valve cut the amount of 1.6 players exactly in half with recent destructive patch and it still has more players.

I havent played 1.6 in a long time, what was the destructive patch about?

Heh, a 1.6 vs Source thread on TL .

Honestly it doesn't even matter. There are so many newer FPSs out there that are played tournament-wise (I can think of Call of Duty 4 and Quake 4 right now) that a debate like this is out of fashion.

I do agree with the sentiment that a 1.6 (or Classic) player will have an advantage over a Source player. I remember when I started playing Source I was killing people easily. It still holds true and you can hit #1 in most of the public servers you visit without much trying. The hitboxes are messed up, but it's all good. Play to have fun.

I forgot how long I've been playing CS for but I'm surprised that 1.6 has gained such a cult following. From the time I played (Beta 6.0 or so) up to 1.6, there were way better versions. I think the riot shield was an idiotic move.

Anyhow, if you like 1.6, give Day of Defeat a try. I used to use it years and years ago to practice accurate headshots because in that game, there isn't really any sort of "hit points." You either live or die after being shot by a rifle.

Not really... Many major teams have now moved to source, including team 3D.

IMO

this. But OP is asking which is better: 1.6 or source

If you're looking for fun, and are new to counter-strike I would go with source. The general skill level of pubs is a lot lower and looks/feels amazing. There is definitely a lot more bullshit shots done in source however because of the skewed (bigger) hitboxes, and you will get random-headshotted a lot more than in 1.6. But you wont really notice this unless you're a competitive 1.6 player (i.e. cal and clan scrim type).

Play 1.6 if you like CS. Find a team and scrim if you want to get any good. Pubs are good for when you're brand new or when u just wanna relax, but the actual game lies in 5v5s.

The world CS community plays 1.6. The only people who play source are North Americans because it pays better. Even the top US pros say they'd rather play 1.6, but they have source contracts and that's what pays over here.

Btw it's easy to learn source once you're good at 1.6. If you start in source, I expect you'd always prefer it because you don't like getting creamed by the harsher engine and stiffer comp, and your transfer would be a crappier experience.

it's no wonder i end up killing people even when my crosshair's not on target (not to mention the frequent headshots)

1.6 players bashing on source is as stale as zerg/terran players bashing on protoss.

Yes, the spray is more random. No, this doesn't make the game easier at a competitive level. Yes, if you go play on noob pubs, it'll make it easier for nubs to get lucky headshots on you, but at the competitive (aka > cal-o) level, no one is spraying and praying anyways since it's RANDOM and you won't often get kills, so people burst just like in 1.6 anyways.

Rofl. Source is bad. No excuses can make up for it. CALmain source is weaker than CALopen 1.6
Btw, 1.6 players generally ignore source and don't bash it up, except in regards to the CGS.

I mean it really goes to show how bad and retarded sourcies are, first the only league that support them is ran by outsiders who more than likely have downs syndrome, then it's populated by people who don't know wtf they're talking about, like these two:
