I started out with source and it was pretty fun. Then someone was like "CZ ftw source sucks balls lolz" So I tried it out and it was infinite times better.

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:


LOLLLLLL Everyone in 1.6 is at least invite, and mostly main.

It's so hard to find people bad enough to be open for 1.6 1.6's open is like source's OGL. Everyone is main in 1.6, it's like finding a protoss on iccup, they're everywhere.

Source is a joke

But not everyone plays at competitive level, right? I think your protoss analogy is actually quite good, at D level protoss is definitely an easy race but it's equally hard in competitive level, but since we don't play CS/SC at progamer level you can't really ignore the fact that "nubs will get lucky headshots on you", not at our level anyway.

Less recoil and bigger hitboxes = easier aiming = less skill differentiation = Source is obviously easier at a competitive level, because it's EASIER to get the competitive level.
For any type of sport, skill difference is essential, because to have a pro level, then the pro level has to be consistently better than everybody else. More skill difference possible would mean that less people can claim that they are at the highest level of gameplay.

At a non-competitive level, you can ignore the fact that nubs get lucky headshots. You can get them back easier than they get you. Even the worse CS/SC players have gotten kills/wins. After a lot of rounds you're bound to get killed by a noob at least once. It really doesn't matter.
No dough, no go. And no mercy.

just bought counter-strike source a few days ago along with left 4 dead with the steam holiday sale. i played a lot of cs 1.6 and prior, and for the short time i've been playing source, it does seem a bit easier to me, but my opinion is it's because the player models are more realistically proportioned to the level models, so it seems like a bigger target. although i'm sure the actual hit boxes are different sizes as well, as they're two completely different game engines

league admins in cs 1.6 are very corrupt, but aside from that it's a much better game.

As far as how much easier source is:
I never played source on any team in any league, but I've won every local source LAN I've gone to with a pug of 1.6 players who, aside from me, haven't played an fps for over a year. The last one I went to we played 5 matches and lost 13 rounds total.
It is a profitable thing, if one is wise, to seem foolish.

I use to play 1.3(?) back in the day and played some 1.6, but with a year of wow and Starcraft mixed in, it really effected my twitch reflexes, when i got back into it I switched to source, the game is a lot more forgiving if you don't sit there and play 3-5 hours a day to stay sharp. I play a ton of cs_assault though so when the game gets even remotely hard I just stack for a round, get an awp and with the larger hit box and a little bit of skill, get #1 on most public servers.

It's also funny to headshot people with a deagle from across the map. I'll admit it. I enjoy source because it's easier and strokes my ego.
