Why do people still prefer CS 1.6 over Counter-Strike: Source?

[R8 Demon]

I still do not get it. This game is literally looks so bad. It doesnt even stand up to this day.
Counter-Strike: Source is literally 100x better because it has better graphics and is less of a sweaty competitive game. Counter-Strike 1.6 doesnt even have Achievments

hmm more nostalgic?

Because 1.6 is basically the opposite of what you seem to desire in a game. If a player doesn't have the mindset to see past its unappealing cover, then I suppose they would be better off playing games where its developers are actively changing things, updating things or "improving" things that cater to them.

1.6 is a work of art. in which the only changes you'll find, are the players within its canvas. Pretty much a masterpiece.

The nostalgia factor is a big part of it as well. If you were not around during its early days, golden years or in its prime, well, Sorry.

Some play for the nostalgia, while others may play for the instant dopamine fix. Some play to explore endless possibilities, yet in such seemingly confined environments! Some to discover, some to create, to ..dsign.. for movement, for adrenaline, for goofing around, ect ect ect.. for having fun. ..for all of the above


Welcome. Welcome to Counter-Strike 1.6

Back in the day the pros didn't like CSS for 2 things mainly :

1. Recoil spread was " weird ". They kept trying to play css as if they were playing 1.6 but that's not really a good idea.

2. Maps have too many " distractions ". Such as models of cars, plants etc. . They prefered the simplistic, blocky maps of 1.6 because the only thing that would get in your way was a wall or a crate. Also 1.6 has more wallbang spots than css and csgo.

Each to their own, although I guess you just want attention by making this bite post even tho there were plenty of them before.

However, Counter-Strike: Source can also run on really crappy computers

Another sad kid trying to prove that CS GO or Source is better than 1.6. . After being proven wrong countless times, he deleted his own post . I pity you, do something better with your life

[CTER.MUSKmeL0N]

I think CCS has weird recoil than other cs its doesn't like other cs games css recoil is between CS1.6 and csgo also css's physical effect suck when you stand on a barrel you will move around until fall from barrel and too much physical effect is bad for Comfetitiveness such as Dust2 A site you can hide C4 into barrel because of css is a source game it made too much of cs1.6 pro throw away their skills So sum up:Weird recoil suck physical effect hitbox and make too much change than 1.6 My English is bad hope you can enjoy my text

Yes, but. Competitiveness itself in its own self is just very mind inclusive for reaction timing. Why play a harder game, when the easier game is a direct upgrade with modder friendly ability?
