So does anyone here play CS 1.6?

I am an admin in the Assault Word 24/7 servers (my name is 'Sagres').

Drop in and say "Hi" if you like :D (Sorry I can't list the IP's!)

I think of myself as a moderatly skilled player (example 10 kills, 3-4 deaths average).

I seem some really skilled people around though ;) (And plenty of hackers!)
 
I dont play 1.6 :(

I play COD2 and moving onto Battlefield 2 as of tomorrow :D

I have skillz normally start off 10 - 0 then end up with 90 for 30 on a 20 minute rifle only server
 
I tend to have really good periods with CS, where I'll totally rape for ages, then suddenly I'll become rubbish again :o

It's very annoying when I'm beating my pro (3-4 years constant play) friends and then suddenly I'm down 2-25 :(

Oh well you win some you lose some. Migh try out that server if I can manage to get it working on my univeristy connection tomorrow, here's to hoping!

Thats exactly like me on CS: Source. My clan gets pretty annoyed cause some games theyll be relying on me to flank the opposition and take them out, I usually get about one shot away before im annilhilated when im playing badly :p .
 
Used to play CS all the time up to about February when my uni work and social life took up too much time leaving little time for it. Was a reasonably high level, and played it from Beta 5.2, just the community is one of the main reasons I don't go back, even though there's tight clan communities, the community just in general annoys the hell out of me.
 
CS:S is a cruel mistress!

Just as Zefan says one minute you're running around pwning everything that moves among hails of compliments and accusations of hacking... then the next day you'd be lucky to hit a barn door at 20 paces! :(

He can run his server the way he wants, if he enjoys the game public with no AWPs, along with the regulars, then it's fine. If here were playing a clan match with now AWPS, then there'd be something wrong.
 
ive recently got back into 1.6 but am pretty rubbish which is frustrating i used to play a lot for about 3-4 years and then kinda gave up and moved onto other games but i was a reasonable player before i dropped it and now i couldnt hit a barn door from 2 feet away.
 
I played CS from 1.1 > 1.5, was in couple of clans. Played in Barrysworld, Clanbase, Enemydown Leagues.

It was good fun.
 
CS peaked, imo, at 1.3 and 1.5, then 1.6 destroyed it for me.

Wish i could still go back and enjoy 1.6 like i did 1.5, but it just isn't the same anymore, it's just different.

However what i liked about the old 1.5 now seems to have transfered over to source, whish is where i'm staying now, i just hope Valve don't mess too much with it.

Not sure I like CSS as much as I did when I first played it when it was released. Valve are ALWAYS messing with it!

The new radar for example - its horrific.

Best first-person online shooter ever, no question. Never played a game that is so skill orientated. If you're playing bad, you get bad scores but if you're playing good, you will own. CSS is full of noobs spraying at your feet and landing crisp headshots which very, very rarely happend in 1.5/1.6. I started playing the first week 1.5 was realeased and I've ALWAYS gone back to it.

Banning AWP's on a public server is cool, just be ready for a big shock if you deide to start wars :)

Have to agree for many reasons ^


I also agree with the above post about skill in CS 1.6/1.5/... To me I can see it as many differnet skill 'levels' you can be on, which I doubt you could get with a game like CSS where as you say its far too easy & so on in comparison. I mean in 1.6 you could be crap but still have a good game (say a newcomer to the game), but then it'll take a lot of skill to play against more experienced people. Theres so many factors that matter such as your ability to locate players even if they flinch with one footstep 10 metres away, to learning spam spots or even knowing where behind a wall someone is when they move (I actually like the wallbanging part - adds another degree of skill separation). Even stuff like playing certain maps/certain weapons so long that you just move/flow through it naturally wrt enemies/recoil that you've learnt through experience.

Not saying I'm there yet, but I try :D

I play often but not as much since uni etc. I usually play random public/aim/deathmatch and the odd mix now and again...

EddyG you should post the IP :p I can't see it as outright server pimping... :)

- Also where do you other people play? regimentaldj etc :D

Started playing CS with 1.6, joined a few clans, played in EnemyDown for a while, then moved onto CSS when it came out. The community on the whole is a bit ****y yeah, but when you find a good server, with good people playing, it's great fun
