Not interested in pub play.

Will be LAN/friends only.

Is it as simple as "CS:GO" is better or is there more to it than that?

I have been playing 1.6 and CZ recently and enjoyed them both.

Maybe just me, but CS:GO seems to have become bloated, but maybe that is just me.
 
Depends what the reasoning is. I will say install half life 1 then play CS Beta 7 files.
Its a free mod and half life is very cheap to buy for 8 machines or whatever.

Its all commercialised now but CSGO is the choice if you have 1 machine and in very little time you want a game vs 9 other equally skilled players.
This latest version is easiest to use for that purpose

There's something so smooth and appealing about the original CS, it's what I moved to after AQ2 (Which I still miss).

It doesn't need the updated graphics, gameplay all the way :)

Beta 5.2 ;)

1.6 though to be honest, then skin the hell out of it. Source is fine also if you're just pratting about with mates to be honest
 
CS go they rekt shrekt AK 47 recoil. I hate it

I hated it at first, but you soon adjust and become more effective in-game. Spraying is still possible, it's just not as reliable/BS as it used to be :p

I remember playing cs 1.5, good times!

Also the days of sitting in IRC trying to find games "5v5, med skill, your serv" :D
 
when was CS released? I'm sure I was playing it when I was 18 which would have been 20 years ago (1996) but the earliest I can see is beta 1 released in 1999 - was it available as a 0.1/0.2 beta before beta 1 came out or am I simply imagining things and senility is finally kicking in?
 
GO or 1.6. Just pick all of them up and give them a go? They cost pennies these days.

But back in 03/04 I used to LAN 1.6 with my friends (them days :( ).

Might have been some alphas etc ?
