How will Counter Strike Global Offensive split the CS community?

It seems now that there's a pretty good balance between 1.6 users and Source users. Do you guys think CS:GO will severely end one of the pre ex-histing communities? If not hamper it to a near dead state?

1.6's userbase is made of stubborn man-children, don't expect any of them to switch over to GO.

Those people probably really dislike any change to their environment. It's the same game 12 years and they still play the damn thing.

So it won't split anything.

I don't think the 1.6 people will switch but most source people will get it. I think it looks cool, I may get it.

Most people that I know and play 1.6 have crappy PC's and even CSS would run bad on it sooo....

The point is that you are being ignorant if you think people who play CS are somehow "manchildren" or need to stop playing an old classic. You just have no idea what makes a game really good. You probably think pretty graphics are the key to a good game, and you can't be farther from the truth. Do some research on why Chess is the most successful game ever created, then come back here and explain why people continue to play good games for centuries/millenia after they are created.

Only the source people will move, I want to try the game as will everyone even the 1.6 people. I wonder if this game has a tier system if it does I might play it. I get tired of playing with super noobs and just owning 24/7 in CSS.

I agree, but chess is not the best analogy. After all, chess doesn't get new iterations every couple of years. It is a static game, administered by no company.

I don't think 1.6's community will change, since they didn't change for Source they won't change for GO.

I can see Source's community changing too much, but mostly I think GO will be another CS game for CS fans to enjoy alongside CSS, and will also be a great way for new players to get into it on consoles and who haven't ben big CS players before.

I haven't had a lot of time on CSS, but CS: GO will probably have my interest more since I won't feel like I got into it late and feel like I have a bunch of other stuff I could play with my friends.

The fact that you're even referring to chess is laughable. All I hear from 1.6 players is pathetic elitism for a game not worthy of such praise. If you seek a skillful FPS, go play Quake live.

To skaero assuming you haven't play ql

QL takes much more skill than cs 1.6 because it actually requires chess skills for duels. And the aiming in QL is much more consistent than CS 1.6 which is another huge difference, by that you have to keep aiming, not just get lucky for a bit... and the movement plays like a platformer

I think he is comparing it to chess as in how it's a great game doesn't matter how old it is, not that it requires the same skill set.

Yes I know, I just don't believe 1.6 would fall under such a category.

Most people that I know and play 1.6 have crappy PC's and even CSS would run bad on it sooo....
