Why play CS 1.6 when CSS is better?

Counter strike source is basically Cs 1.6 with better graphics. There's nothing cs 1.6 does better than Cs: source.

Nope, css has better graphics and hitboxes than 1.6

I know the thread is a troll but it’s a loaded question. CSS is fun causal game because of arcade mechanics and the amazing mapmaking and modding scene back in the day. 1.6 is the much better competitive game because of better mechanics and weapon balance. So it depends what kind of experience you want. If you are the kind of player who wants to play surf/jailbreak/etc and never touch 5v5 gamemode then css may in fact be the better game

1.6 for life

The css cut the half of the original mappool. CSS come with 2 new maps and both of them are apsolute trash. Can't agree that most of the cut 1.6 maps are good but. Bro we lost Survivor, Storm, Torn, Estate, Backalley, 747, Vertigo. And from CZ they ported only Tides and the fun CZ maps was left behinde. Stadium, Downed, Siena.
And my last point. Css maps are full of dynamic props. U just get anoing from them. They block you movement and are terrible. CSGO use static props. Wich is way better. Obviesly the maps are most weak part of this bad game.

CSS is a very bad game from a gameplay perspective. It is radically different than 1.6

I hated CSS completely and utterly, and the fake teenager crowd pedaling it as the next best thing.

It so annoying to watch CSS take over and become a joke. They tried to do competitive games where everyone started with 16k money.

Just in case you people do not think wokeness is a threat and an illness, this is what woke people did to CSS and how they justified it.

- 16k starting money because the game will be more exciting for viewers

- Make CSS the game of choice even though unproven, because the graphics are "better" and it will be a better experience for viewers.

- Make two different versions of each map, one for "competitive". (Eventually discarded but fortified a stupid narrative)

- The beginning of removing darkness from the game for "balance"

- Refusing to acknowledge physics based trash objects and barrels were detrimental to gameplay. Literally a 30 second Hammer editor fixed that was never committed.

- The beginning of orange maps because the community because depressed and emo from the state of the game

- The beginning of over simplification. No continuity between rounds, guns were auto reloaded, ammo auto purchased and filled

- A step backwards in sound design. Compared to EAX or the Miles sound system, CSS sound was objectively non-working. You could not properly pinpoint footsteps. The sound effects of the weapons was extremely off putting, especially the silenced m4a1.

- Flashbangs flashed you from around corners for like 10 years before they fixed it

The game did have some bright sides. The source engine was great, mini games, things like advanced admin tools were created. Surf really took off. Community servers were populated and booming.

The soul of the game died because Valve stopped updating the game, left it in a terrible state, and then contracted a random company to improve it a decade later.

What everyone should know is that CS2 exists because 1.6 is amazing. Condition-Zero, CSS, and CSGO, were all pretty much terrible upon released and very controversial. If CS 1.6 never existed, there would be no Counter-Strike. Even to this day, CS2 being a very very bad game it is played because people are addicted to the 1.6 spirit and hope that it returns.

It is nearly beyond words the differences between 1.6 and CS2. CS2 is woke garbage and technologically is a massive step backwards in every regard. People will eventually learn the hard way that you do not measure technology by the way that it looks; it is by how it performs. CS2 will never perform properly as a Counter-Strike game.

Why play CSS when you can play CS2?

[Cat]

CSS is probably the worst CS for me. Condition Zero at least gave us new maps (Sienna, Downed Pilot, Stadium), better hostage, singleplayer campaign, tour of duty and bots.

CS2 have better accessibility to matchmaking, more game modes and more weapon variety (not just M4/Ak47/AWP/deagle).

CSO-NST and the other Asian CS games weren't that amazing but at least they weren't trying to take itself seriously. They had more weapons, maps, modes and player models. They even paid attention to assassination scenarios.

CSS is just a 1.6 ported to the new source engine without anything new. Hostages are back to 1.6 style, minor weapon balance doesn't seem to do much, everything new CZ brought were discarded (except for de_tides of all maps) and they removed assassination maps.
