counter-strike 1.6

[ninJa-conen]

who here playes. good game. NO SOURCE SHIT

[Arimasen]

What's wrong with Source? Your PC too old to run it?

[Opethian]

hahah i second that source is where its at i cant stand looking at 1.6 even at 1600x1200 it give me motion sickness

[kimcicle]

Thirded. Source has just about the same nuances as CS1.6 does. It runs smoother and has better netcode too. I don't see why people refuse to change over.

Source is just as fun as 1.6 with modern graphics, ragdoll physics, rebuilt maps and significantly less racist biggots.

I play it but mainly for special maps like the Zombie Mod and surfing maps. I suck way to much to play normal CS:S.

But yeah, apperentl its the little things that people refuse to switch over to source and I dunno what exactly thoes things are.

Anyone doing cal-o this summer? I am.

[Arimasen]

Haha ragdolling is where it's at. I cant get enough of it.

I've started playing souce (which I didn't pay for) and it's quite fun (using hacks) on servers with others who are legit, while I (mask my hacks) take a casual attitude and act like a regular player.

It's a laugh, though. Some of the maps, like piranesi and cbble, are so fucking dark I don't know how people play them. Even with the highest gamma, some of them are still quite difficult to see. Then again, I'm on DSL, so Source isn't all that fun.

Is it true that CS:S is somewhat easier with the new engine?

[raven_tker]

yeah, in CS:S its easier to kill and get headshots and other stuff. My average 1.6 k ratio was like 1:1 and in source its probably 3:1. With a TMP. its easy to kill with any gun in source plus the players run faster.

[xybur]

Its easy to get killed thats for sure, I've always sucked at CS, opethian can vouch for that. But I was having network issues at the time as well, so its not surprising.

The entire HL² engine is shit in my opinion. Anyone who started playing Counter-Strike with Source will always feel 1.6 is obsolete, most of the time only because Source looks better. Look, if you're playing games like Source just because they look better, you need to quit gaming as a whole. Since when does visual appeal mean everything? I know the BMS community loves old school games, so this point is stupid.

Why HL² will probably be my last purchase from Valve:
1) Company direction. Valve Software is now more of a capitalist company rather than a software company.
2) They don't care about their community. Customer service / support is nonexistent.
3) Terrible coders. They literally break their software more than they do fix it.
4) Bugs, particularly hitboxes. You'd think after six years they'd make an effort to sync the hitboxes with the models.
5) They're Windows OS fanboys. When 1.6 was originally released, Video Options were locked to DirectX. Valve tried to kill off OpenGL to help push Microsoft's DirectX technology. OpenGL was only brought back because developers would much rather use OpenGL because of its performance and portability. Further arguing my point, does any of the Valve games run on Linux or Apple? No. Not because they can't port the HL engine, they just don't want to. The only reason a Linux version for Dedicated Server was released was because developers threatened to decompile HLDS.exe back in the day, regardless of how shitty the Linux port is.
6) ATI-whores. The HL1.1 engine (Steam version) was built primarily with ATI cards in mind, which is why the game doesn't run in true 32-bit mode, it really plays as 24-bit because of older NVIDIA cards' inability to render 24-bit. Believe it or not, there is an ATI / Valve agreement on paper.

The only good things about Valve:
1) The UDP netcoding that was done by the development team. They somehow managed to better the existing Quake 2 code.
2) Valve kept the feel and playability that Gooseman had implemented.

CSPromod

I'm sure some of you have heard about this mod. As long as you have a copy of HL², you'll be able to enjoy CSPromod. Drax started this project, so it's gotta be good (I'm assuming some of you know who Drax is).

Oh, and didn't Atari decide to distribute games through Steam? Steam dropped another notch.

The Bloke knows I love CS. I go back in the day playing CS.

[WiLLiSTER]

Source TMP all day long.

Seriously, thats some hard core shit. It's almost like 1.5 deagle.
