For online play, CS:S for being bored on holiday when I only have my laptop 1.6, I started with CS:S but needed to feed my addiction to online gaming and shooting terrorists and rescuing hosties when I wasn't near a good pc... but they REALLY need to put VIP maps in to Source... come on valve! After finding VIP maps my whole playing style changed! more running a shooting, less hiding and being a sniper "awp n00b"

meany people like source becouse it has better graphic, but i still preferrer 1.6

I'd like to pick between the two, but my pc is far too old and out-dated for me to even install source! I have seen it on a friends pc, and theres been alot of talk about it. Some say it is far easier than 1.6 to physically play, and others say that it is harder. I guess until I actually play it regually, i wont be able to decide for myself, but it did seem easier on source. It's just a prettier version of 1.6 with a few added extras. I did like the broken glass, that seems realistic..and the fact that all the terrors looked the same, and obviously the counter terrors! It also seemed the quality in players was not the same. When i play 1.6 there are some really good players about, when i did play source, on a few servers i went to, i seemed to be one of the top scorers, yet on 1.6 i would be average! This was quite a while ago, so i'm sure source is upto 1.6 standards!

Oh and i really really really hate cheaters! I mean what is the point? It spoils it for those that want to actually play properly, and not kid themselves but surely it cant be fun for even the cheaters?! I wudn't mind so much, but they are just so blatent!!

In conclusion, I havent got the means to play source...but i think given the choice, it would still be 1.6 all the way!!

dunno, i like source the most , but i also like playing 1.6 with the die hard gamers

I don't really like any of those two withoud it being modded, Counter-Strike with Warcraft 3 mod is very cool tho

cs source totally www.creative-esports.org

In my opinion CSS is better as it has better graphics (it uses the engine of Half Life 2) and it is more reallistic... In the game play i didn't understand a big difference..! However you need a powerfull machine to run it without problems..! I have no problem playing both versions of CS! The just rule!

Source for me not sure why i have both installed but always choose source...


Do we have an favorite servers?

cs source for me..good graphic detail

1.6 RIPPs Source, I mean I LOVE ALL my versions of CS from beta 2 till CS:S but 1.6 has more character CSS is full of pub nerbs [/b]

My favorit is Cs 1.6 . i play only on no steam servers. . Cs:Source i hadn`t played that much but i think it has potential excepting lots of bugs and kind of unreal graphics. but the good part in playing cs:source in my opinion is that it has more tactics in it, for example : when you camp with a magnum rifle or try do to do a rush.. and suddently get flashed, not by an enemy flash grenade but by the suns rays .or you can move and hide behind boxes, crates, barrels etc. My point is that in the tactics department Cs:Source is better ..

For me its definitely CS 1.6! Source is jus better looking,more eye candy, but who wants eye candy wen ders rapid fire action happenin around you, not me certainly, so YES 1.6

i prefer 1.6 although the graphic is very fake.. but still 1.6 is able to play a more fast pace of the game.. cs is a combat game.. so speed is require..

Source wins hands down. It's alot of fun just to be able to grab a bunch of friends and setup your own server and play against bots (zombie mod)
also Source offers more variations of the game like playing in deathmatch mode.

Counter Strike Source is the better engine if you have the hardware to support it.
