Counter Strike: Favourite Version And Why?

lol..................they didnt ruin it with radar mate.

1.6 owns css because of the better gameplay, better physics everything.

css is good but cluster everywhere and has really bad hitboxes.

Oh no you didn't *snaps fingers*

Let's not start that old debate again.

Everyone knows 1.6 has better players - proven "fact" by the huge event that was the top 1.6 team absolutely trashing the top source team on ProMod.

Source has elements that were nicer. I say were, as in the 100tic version of source. This 66tic farse that is the Orange Box is a completely mockery of what the game was.
 
Played 1.6 last night for the 1st time in years and found myself up against people with pings of less than 10 !! Mine was hovering around 80.
All the console commands i used to know are now just a distant memory.
I remember playing it with a 56k modem. Shooting where you expected people to be instead of where they were on your screen.
Bit of a throwback seeing as the last online FPS i played was BF 3 beta :D

u know u love it though lol
 
I played since alpha. Cant remember which one, but it was when the colt had a scope. That ****ed all over everything!

Ah i remember the good old days of having to boot up half life, then go into the modifications, select and load up cs.

EDIT: Just looking on cstrike planet website, doesnt say their was an alpha, so maybe i started on the first beta. Was a long time ago so its quite fuzzy.

Those were the days.

I can still remember when we moved into a new house, and didn't yet have the net set up, so was playing that "Western" mod, the name escapes me now. But it actually had working bots! It was awesome!

Edit: Wanted? Was that it? It's ringing bells!

i hate oilrig to be honest.......cacked it up, it used to be better in older versions.

speaking of oilrig, if anybody played Tactical Ops the map in there caled oilrig was awesome.
 
Cant remember which around the beta 6/7.

I liked the es_ gametypes a lot... backs to the wall gametype, my thing.

Didn't last long before it was outed, es_jail my fav of the bunch.

Loved it back then, you could charge like rambo with an mp5, so enjoyable to play.

what was es??
 
Yup thats one of the things I really miss was all the old maps. Everything got a bit "pro" obsessed and so stuff like 747,oilrig(the best rig),turndura,mansion and so on just disappeared.

Anyone remember that shield bug in 1.6 that allowed you to buy a shield and as many primary weapons as you could afford? Worked for about a week irc?

I played 1.5 for years, 1.6 came out and it just didn't feel the same. When Source arrived I forgot all about it. I can't say I've noticed the hitboxes etc. I find CS:S much more immersive and the gunplay more satisfying.

But as I say, it was a completely different game before the radar. Its like everybody is ghosting.
 
1.6 is as perfect as cs can be well 1.5 was better but still..

I liked cz but wasn't really anything different

css is poop

As for cs:go im waiting for the beta to unlock on steam as I got a beta code from eurogamer . Im not totally sold on just re-using the source engine but I do like the new ideas of molotvs and decoy grenades as they add more tactical depth to the game

1.6 was awesome but I did quickly learn to love source....though the achievements and tf2 features made me hate it again. I can play 1.6 and never rage bc it feels fair the same can never be said about CSS
