Wich do you like the most? For me, its source, I like the graphics a lot and also how realisctic it feels (when shooting at cans, computers and other stuff) I dont rly see why ppl dont play source....
The people who knock one or the other are just being 'fanboys'. There are different things in the games, yes, but not enough to utterly hate one over the other. Personally, I prefer Source, as the way the Source Engine displays everything, it's a lot easier to see people from afar. Sure, shadows are tons better and that can hide people well, but that's also good. You can sneak around in front of someone if they aren't paying full attention, were in 1.6, you can see them easily as shadows just barely darkens the textures. Everything seems so blocky, clunky and ugly with 1.6. This is coming from a guy who played from Beta 1 to Retail 1.6, took a 2 month break and got back into CSS. Sure, I don't play that much any more, but it doesn't change the way I feel!
Screw all three options i'm a TF2 (With a lil L4D on the side) junkie! They harness the true awesomness of the source engine
I've never liked any of the Counter Strike games.... way too generic and lack of depth for me. I also don't like how you die thats it in the game and you have to wait until the current round is over, I just couldn't stand either of them.
ok, then the question may be, You like better never games with better graphics or originality/older games + worse graphics?
I am a CS:S fan, but I dislike the original CS. It's not that I am a graphics boy, I actually prefer the gameplay of CS:S too. I just generally enjoy it better than I do CS. Half Life > CS and CS:S btw. The graphics mean little to me, it's how they have been implemented that matters.
If you put them side by side, you will see a big difference between the two. CSS's bullet physics is shockingly accurate. The first bullet shot by a Desert Eagle goes dead straight. However, the wall spam (shooting through walls) does less damage. CS 1.6 has better bullet physics, but the wall spam does an ungodly amount of damage if you play against someone who knows the spam points. Generally, CS fans prefer 1.6 because it is a more complete game even though Source has cool world physics and pretty graphics.
Trust me buy the "valve complete pack" even if you have 3 valve games you still save 80 dollars with the rest
I loved the good oldschool 1,6 ... but later i brought zero and source - but the oldschoool was better...
