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. | ||

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. 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. | ||

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'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. | ||
