Counter-Strike: Source still active?

Omaeka · 15 Feb 2013 at 18:17

Title really, wanna pick it up in the Steam sale as I've never even played a CS game, but I hear CS: GO isn't very good compared? Graphically it's still nice so I don't see why not. Anyone know? Cheers!

I don't know who you heard that off, but CS:GO is rather good. I'd certainly be picking that up over Source.

CSGO is the only 'alive' game from the CS series, the release was a little shaky but now it is being updated it is a great game.

I heard it isn't as good as the original on here

wait for G.O to drop again then?

Perhaps I am not understanding you comment but going by steam statistics:

Game; Peak Today (players)
CS; 51.1k
CS:S; 37.4k
CS:GO; 26.7k

Original or more precisely 1.6 is most popular.

difference between cs, s, and go are all based on subjective preferences. Only reason I'd prefer older versions as opposed to go is that older ones have much more variety of maps especially the community ones.

Edit: I take way too long to write my comments, second again >_<

What is that meant to mean?

Too many people reluctant to change?

WoW already proved that point

Steam workshop support in GO is full of WIN.

Makes browsing/installing maps very smooth.

GO is a great game.

I've always been a follower of the CS series and i am far from being a fanboy. But i prefer CSS over the other two. Why?

Well as far as CS 1.6 goes. It plays great (Probably the best out of them all for playability and of course the infamous "Hitboxes") But graphics are far to dated these day's. Not saying that graphics is what makes a game (Far from it) but i'd prefer to at least play something with better graphics than a PS1 these day's.

CSS has fairly out of place hitboxes. And as we know this depends on quite a few factors anyway like, client, connection, server etc etc. But the hitboxes are far superior than CSGO. Don't care what anyone say's. The hitboxes on CSGO are completely laughable. This is fact! Plus All they did with CSGO is but loads of kiddie motion blur and the rest of the visual garbage. Basically made a COD copy.

And yes i do own and have many many hours of play between them all. Just saying i prefer CSS over the other's. And i'm honest with my opinion

no WoW, not LOL.

and CSGO in my opinion is worse than CS:CZ. waste of time source is where it's at.

I've only played GO briefly, but I didn't take to it. I will give it another GO at a later date.

CS:S is what I play, though I'm not a huge mp player.

Nonsense, CS:S still has more players.

schumi84 · 15 Feb 2013 at 22:01

I bought GO over Christmas in the sale and find it pretty good, however I have found that my CS:S has got worse since playing
