old counter strike players?

Source is alrite now, if you started up playing source now half decently you soon grow on it.

I was playing source in a clan when it was early beta, and it was good :) Nice change anyway...Takes a bit of getting used to, as the aiming is a bit different to standard CS.
 
Does it have the big learning curve that separates the truly good players from the merely good players? Last time I played it still seemed just a more arcadey and less deep CS.

There was a time when I played in a 2on2 league where you could literally almost be immortal if the opposition wasn't quite as good.

I remember playing PCW's on aztec and taking entire teams out with scout headshots, it just doesn't happen anymore. :(

That's because the aiming system is different now...Before it was 'set' as to how the cursor works and where the bullet goes...Dpending on it's size etc.
 
Only other screenie I have is when I played the entire map with Scout...

Lets face it.... Scout >* TBQFH ^_^
 
For those that are interested I have set up a game on the ocuk office server for 8:30 on Wednesday. CS Source, but may still bring back some memories...

CSS Night on Wednesday
September 2 @ 08:30pm

217.168.150.203:27031

CS-Office game of CSS this Wednesday evening on OcUK 1. Now improved with constant cash refill every round and awps limited to 2 per team. Auto-snipers not allowed at all. Hit registry is pretty good now as server sets each player's rates for the 75 tickrate server. 40 slots. Make sure you are there.

For standard css go to this IP: 94.76.196.213:27015 ($800 money start, most maps in standard rotation, no limitations on weapons)

I just tend to find that the cash refill and Limited awp/autosniper is what most people want on a server that people can jump in and out of.

And no, I've never been hardcore on css. :p

Source got better with every patch though the community was never the same as CS. UKCS has some decent Source servers with varied skill levels (up to former ED champions) though it's 64-players so might not be to everyones tastes.

Mind you I started losing interest in the original CS around patch 1.3 with the whole jumping deagle/awps thing. Just far too many people using them killing the action on standard maps.

My favourites were always trying to kill my own squad members using the APC on siege due to the bugs with the collision detection for it or on the old UOcUK server Monday custom map nights when the whole server was our members (with a bit of spawn nade TK action). It was more fun with the amount of people in the queue to get on the server.

Also remember playing a fair bit on GFFM's server, anyone know what happened to them?

Did you play CS?

As in 1.6?

Yes. Played 1.5 as my 1st year uni laptop couldn't cope with source, then later added cs to steam (through retail key) and played 1.6 for a while, before moving on to CZ briefly then back to 1.6. When I got home from uni, back to my PC I went back to CSS.

I'm not an old hand however, only been playing counterstrike (any form) since march 2005 (my steam account was created then) :) And never really been hardcore. Though at one stage I did get quite good at 1.6 on pub servers.
 
I started in late 99 & still play a little bit now although now it's source (still yuk) or TF2 more than CS/CZ.
I used to play on the meatyballs servers too, played against them in leagues etc too at times, they were a pretty good bunch of lads (that newds bloke was some awper lol).
CBA with clan matches or anything now, just for fun is the best way. Too many years of life wasted timing nade/flash runs lol. I think 1.3 was my fave release, after that it sort of went downhill for me.
Clans I've been in = TNG, PHW,Ichabod^,MoJo, NT* & MoJo again for the public TF2 we just bought.
Don't remember playing on OCUK, mostly on UK2, Jolt or blueyonder back then. It's just not the same now, too serious & full of script kiddies who play with .cfgs more than they play on the game.
