Well i don't expect any better graphics from a highly popular multiplayer game, but the stuffs should look like stuffs. A grenade, flash should look like at least like a grenade or flash. I don't want a childish cadbury like flash or stuffs which are so laughing, and the implication of it can't be any poor.
do you realise that CS came out in 1999? Or you still don't. :|

So? There is nothing to realise. And i don't think it's relevant to this topic.
:!:
Get a life guys, i said something, you don't agree, fine. Stretching the matter like a 1000 times chewed gum doesn't show a good character, do you guys feel it?
Why on earth did i come and commented on a silly game, should've sticked with the games i play, damn.....TDF, same old, same old :eek:
I can carry on but i don't wanna, so this is my very last post in this topic. Now if you feel yourself as a human being stop quoting me and get on, otherwise, do whatever you want, just know i am not even reading anything.

I just wish people played free games like Urban Terror in LAN parties rather than *pirating* CS.

We CS 1.6 players don't use the word pirated. We prefer the more conventional non-steam :p Yes I use a downloaded from torrent copy of even this cheap-ass game. Why? Steam doesn't allow Indian users to play outside India which for me is a major deal-breaker as most of the times I'm on US servers.

Yes but that's only applicable for Indian retail purchasers. If you had purchased through online store in Steam (international store) (which is cheap during sales), then you can play it anywhere in the world without restriction.

And fyi, i started gaming on 2002 and internet connection on 2003. When i was 15. Got it?
yes, I got it.

What this means is, (most probably)

You started playing CS:S in 2005. And as you said, you played it for 4 years till 2009. Then came CS 1.6 (as per you) which was dead on arrival in 2009 (as per you). :)

So the reason you dislike CS1.6 is because of "Bad Graphics" :?
I play Pokemon on VBA for gameplay, sue me.

Thanx for the info dude. I didn't know that. Will buy it online from steam someday :p

Off topic but i had to come back to say this,
When you are using inverted comma then please know that those words should/must be used by the user whom you are quoting. So 'Bad Graphics' is a poor choice of words from your side, especially when you are poorly trying to put your words in others mouth :oops:
Thought it was taught in Class V perhaps.

Anyway, I feel :tired:, so gotta sleep :|

Call me a noob or whatever you want, I want this game to be dead.. Cant they just replace this with CSS atleast.. I know many pros and "wanna be" pros love this game for a number of reasons ( i am going to list none), but come-on, its a ten year old game..it surely needs a successor..

True ..

why do you say that ? I play CSS regularly, sure I get owned a lot but I know how to pwn ;).. I dont play CS1.6, the game is too old for my taste

Just look at the bullet-spread in CS 1.6 for instance.. and look at the kind of bullet-spread you get in Bf3 or even COD..

I hope someone will understand what i mean to say..

I can ;-)

The most important reason why CS1.6 is still ruling the College and Student life : System requirements are considerably low, "almost" every PC built after 2000 can run this.
Not everyone(student) can afford likes of Nvidia GPUs and Dual-core/Quad core CPU , which are the basic requirements of new games.

Average Laptops are equipped with low-end stuffs,and most of college users have lappies.

IMO, it won't dissapear so easily .However the increase in Touchscreen gaming tablets and portable gaming devices are threating entry of newbies in CS.

n one will be able to beat the combo of KB+Mouse ;-)

10 years??
CS 1.6 is like your Solitaire & Freecell.
It will always be there!! :machinegun2:

I've never played Solitaire & Freecell but played CS1.6.

CS 1.6 and NFS MW will be there for our kids too :p
they wont die unless something similar and that great is out.....i mean an updated version.....

CS and NFSMW are entirely different ... NFSMW has the best story a racing game can ever have and the story is enough to keep you going but talking about MP racing game - there's better alternative available.

i know what you want to say, you mean the bullets and engine in battlefield 3 is real :razz: ofcourse it is, but cs 1.6 is really old game, but today also if you organize an event in colleges with cs 1.6 and battlefield 3, majority of players will be on cs 1.6 event :razz: come on, though its old, it has a charm, the skill with which you play, pawning, headshots, straffing, bunny hop, boasting, planning, flashing ( team flash :rofl: ), magging, calling for back up, hiding behind a box,taking down enemies in flash, smoking, planting the bomb, isn't it fun?
:D
and one thing, CS 1.6 is really fun when the opponent is a tough guy to take down :razz:

rightly said but same applies to CSS ;-)

:facepalm: i wonder if by chance SK|fOrest, or Walle, Heaton, or sPawn read this tdf post, what would they think of this guy :facepalm:

let'em wonder too - the world is full of Wonders ;-)


That's a 1999 game dude.

Source was intended as an upgrade. But that didn't happen since the 1.6 community didn't like source as it is, they expected 1.6 with better graphics but the source engine was altogether different from Goldsrc and recoil patterns and everything were different. Most of the bugs(like fastswitch etc) in 1.6 are used as exploits and tricks in competitive play by the professional players and all those bugs were fixed in source. It turned out to be an altoghther different game. And the STEAM thing was hated by everyone equally then.

If valve comes up with a replica of 1.6 with better graphics, people will definitely move.

Old outdated gfx is Ok for me ( like CS 1.6 ) as long as the gameplay and game physics are good but I find CSS to be more realistic, better and well made with hard to take advantage of any exploit or bugs -

I've started with Quake 3, then moved to CS1.6, Played UT and OA for some time but compared to all of those CSS is still lot better - there must be lots of CS 1.6 Players but for me CSS is still best and a thing preferred by many does not always makes it the best - there are exception and CSS is one of them IMO ;-)

I've equal respect for both CS1.6 and CSS - I've learnt a lot from playing CS 1.6 and those skills made me good at CSS - so both of'em are still good - CS 1.6 is the great ancestor ( this will always be ) and CSS is the successor ;-)

There isn't any restriction like that. I do play in US and other international servers. The only downside is high pings, obviously for which steam isn't the reason.

CS 1.6 is a steamworks game and wherever you buy it from, retail or online, steam is mandatory. Even if you buy from the retail you have to register the cd key with a steam account.

I only meant that the games activated through retail are the only ones which have regional restrictions. Games purchased through the store have no such restriction.

My bad, i get it now. afaik the regional restrictions only apply to the activation of the game, i.e., you shouldn't activate Asian keys in Europe, Europe keys in US etc and like wise, the condition was kept probably because of the regional pricing. Even if you activate the game in different region it may work but the chances are that the game may be removed from your account at any time. Once you have the game in your account there is no restriction in playing the game in out of region servers. Blizzard's Starcraft 2 has such regional server restrictions at start, I'm not sure if it is removed now.
