Best multiplayer shooter to date in terms of the gameplay department, and anyone who's anyone knows it's all about gameplay.

Yeah, CS 1.6 was pretty damn fun. Haven't played it in ages though... But I think L4D has taken up more playing time from me than CS ever did.

1.5 was better. Prove me wrong. Source is worse. Xbox one was fun, but got old fast. Half Life: Deathmatch was best. But 1.6 had THE funnest mod to date (zombie mod)

New to the series eh? The previous Counter Strike were much better. I preffer their hit detection and some aspects. But imo 1.5 was the best. It was a bit unfinished, but it gave me the best moments and the most accurrate teamwrok tactics i've deployed in any FPS.

Yes. But CS1.6's one had a lot more content (user made, of course). And i find way more zombie servers in 1.6 . But both >>>> Zombie Panic Source...That one is just.. ugh..

I can't go back to 1.6 CSS all the way for me. The ugly graphics and lack of physics make me want to cry. Really just about everything technically is better in CSS.

I actually enjoyed 1.5 more then 1.6 but thats just me.

but actually i've had some of the best gaming experiences ever playing CSS since 04. most of that time @ moongamer the server i used to spend all my time on. Good times, good times.

Yeeea-Well, it's Source, because it's made using Source Engine. But for example, the next CS is said to be called CS"2". I really don't know about that. Valve picked it up, it was originally a Half Life 1 mod.

The hit boxes and damage adjustements of CS Source killed it for me. It became more noob friendly. As if 1.6 didn't do that a bit already. I've seen noobs run full craze with an MP5 and score random headshots due to the randomness of recoil.

Me too, can't wait :( I hope they get it right, and use CS1.5 hitboxes with some more balance and CS1.6 tactics. And better graphics and physics, of course :D!

l4d is better IMO, yes I've played the game for many years but I just lost interest, too many flaws and bugs, Glad Valve is working on fixing the game, but after what? 10 years..Guess it's Valve Time after all...

TF2, pardon my language, rapes it. Now I used to be a dedicated CS 1.6 player taking part in CAL matches (great times) but now those times are done, and CS 1.6 has now become incredibly dated and basically a shadow of its former glory. The game has been around for a while though so it's no surprise that it would become bland after almost 4 years of playing it. I love 1.6 as much as the next guy, but you have to face the fact and understand that it's not like how it used to be.

I actually don't get all the fuss about L4D. Sure , it IS awesome, but it seems consolites/people with no knowledge of mods are all over it thinking there's nothing like it. Fact is, there is a lot like it. Even better ones, like CS1.6 (and to some extent, Source's) Zombie mod, which pits people against zombies-who are also people irl. Playing Infection in big maps and watching your team eating each other in a chain sequence as a zombie bites one and then that one bits another one and then on..man, it was awesome :)

I agree. To me, CS 1.6 is currently the best online FPS and counter-strike in general has been the best since its first release as a mod back in 1999.

10 years on the the game is still going strong... that's incredibly impressive imo.

I've put so many hours into CS it's crazy haha. I will love it til the end!

1.3 was the best with bunny hopping, they just made CS SLOWER AND SLOWER with each release, and they added the stupid shield. 1.3 was the best, that being said I still play from time to time.

Agreed. 1.6 is one of the best shooters ever made. People still play it religiously.

Edit: Btw I was looking through all my programs to uninstall something and figured out 1.6 is freaking 15mb..... yes 15mb. Could hardly believe it myself.

This morning I played CS 1.6 lan in the computer lab at school... during gym gym class. It's the best lan experience you can get even roughly 10 years later. Only graphics "hores" can hate this game.

I still like to sit an think back on all the good times I had when counter-strike was first released as a mod. Back when you used to download it using the Half-life updater. Awesome times, hard to believe its still going strong 10 years later

I used to play CS 1.6 non-stop for a few years, but after nearly a decade it's lost it's touch with me.

CSS is slower and clunkier than 1.6 movement and gun shooting wise. It also has far poorer hit detection and it's much easier to make headshots. It's not a bad game at all, but just to make clear, it's for n00bs.

Well that's a given. When CS was brand new, holy **** that was videogame sex. I had N64/PS2 back then and this friend of mine would not shut up about Counter-Strike and I was like shut up, just play GoldenEye. He then took me to the gaming LAN cafe where he'd play it and my mouth just dropped on the floor. The game was freaking perfect, from the crisp amazing sounds (you had never heard guns sound so real before), to its excellent graphics, its gameplay and antics (the buying formula was a first from killing and you just never wanted to stop). To me, the game was the perfect blend of realism and arcade. After playing it, no other game would be the same, in fact every other game was just a game while Counter-Strike was Counter-Strike. Ah man, good times.

Keep in mind, in no way am I saying CS:S is better than 1.6. CS1.6 has a lot of problems. CS 1.3 was probably my favorite version. There were problems such as the headbox being too large, headbox being skewed when crouching with awp, and the notorious crouching/cockced HE bug that put your hitbox bellow ground, but over all, the game was in a better state then. First bullet accuracy was about double, recoil spread wasn't nearly as bad. I absolutely loathe hitstun (basically if you get shot, your aim gets knocked off in CS1.6). Combine hitstun, with rampant crouch walking, reduced rifle accuracy, increased bullet spread, and an oversized left arm hitbox that covers half the headbox and you have CS in it's current state. The game just doesn't reward accuracy like it used to. Crouch walking is simply a retarded mechanic. You literally can't compensate for someone's leg hit boxes popping up into the chest and then lagging back down to the ground. I understand it makes entry shots easier.... but so did having more accurate rifles in 1.3. Eh, whatever.
