Guys, I'm looking for answers... I really don't understand it.

1) Why is steam showing CS:S has fewer players than 1.6, even in 2011?
Evidence: http://store.steampowered.com/stats/

2) Why 1.6 has so many more viewers than CS:Source, even in 2011?
Evidence: http://i54.tinypic.com/1z39i8m.jpg

3) Why lots of source players are saying CS:Source is a broken game?

4) Why is HLTV.org larger and more active than any CS:Source site?

5) Why a 2004 re-make game failed to replace a 90's game?

6) Why, even in 2011, 1.6 has much more important events than CS:Source?

i think call of duty and bf3 killed cs source, cause css players are little kids who always wants the new graphics and doesnt look at the gameplay at all
2012-05-13 21:02:11
youre calling little kids to 100.000 people lol how does that make any sense? just because some people play css doesnt mean they play it because of the graphics.. =|
2012-05-13 21:19:55
if people would decide to play counter strike because of the gameplay and community / tournaments etc. they would decide to play 1.6

css players always argue with the sentence "omg 1.6 so old, looks like shit" and i know a lot css players.
2012-05-13 21:21:08
you dont know that, people have different tastes.

always? im a css player and im here talking to you, NOT in that way.
2012-05-13 21:32:11
then name me what is better in css than in 1.6, would like to know^^
2012-05-13 21:38:22
Depends on your taste. For example, i like grenades more, the maps and the fact you cannot wallbang in walls.

But like i said, tastes differ and everything i said is wrong for you :)
2012-05-13 21:40:39
not wallbanging sucks, makes the game too easy. maps are totally overload of details what sucks too for competitive gaming and watching the streams etc.

grenades cant be thrown very tricky cause they dont bounce that good from walls
2012-05-13 21:44:54
see? you just proved me right.

"But like i said, tastes differ and everything i said is wrong for you :)"

Your opinion, keep it.
2012-05-13 21:49:08
IF any CSS team was good they would be playing CS 1.6 just to take the MUCH BETTER pricemoney we got =). But they don't because they are obviously bad and want to play the game they are good at because they can't compete with CS 1.6 teams.
2012-05-13 22:50:45
How retarded that can be? Ever thought that some CSS players simply dont enjoy 1.6? thats SO fucking retarded, seriously. Like you said, some players are good at CSS so they keep playing it. But do you actually think they give a shit if they are good or not at 1.6? LOL Besides, no, you cannot compare both players. Thats just stupid.
2012-05-14 00:29:30
you again..god
2012-05-14 00:30:50
No, YOU again. You keep posting like you have something to say. Embarrassed? Why? Because i have a different opinion from yours? Well, im embarrassed of you cause you cant think by yourself and youre such a random poster who has nothing interesting to say.
Fucking kid.

Yo, when was that game alive? I have not seen it on any big tournament.

btw, you should add that ALTERNATE CS girls raped ALTERNATE.CSS.
2012-05-13 21:18:34
open your eyes :)..
2012-05-13 21:20:10
hes right. css was never alive in competitive scene, just the little brother of 1.6 :) not even IEM feature it
2012-05-13 21:21:50
Yeah, never alive.. thats why it has professional players and its bigger than 1.6 in some countries..
2012-05-13 21:33:32
those "professionals" in source play strats like midskill 1.6 players on esl versus
2012-05-13 21:39:47
Check Verygames. Ive heard 1.6 players say they play like robots and are amazing in strats. But of course, some small minded people say otherwise.
2012-05-13 21:41:30
i know them and followed some matches on streams. their teamplay sucks and its just winning aim duels nothing else. no movement outplays and stuff like that at all :( watching professional source matches is like 1.6 public or random gather playing sorry. not big structure in the source teams
2012-05-13 21:43:27
Oh ok, thank you for being such a biased opinion fanboy. We will talk again when you are not close-minded.

Awesome 1.6 fanboys are awesome xDD
2012-05-13 21:48:26
shouldnt you be on sourcetv.org ohwait they dont have a communtity
2012-05-13 22:15:24
I remember the 1.6 boys RAPING the css kids in CS:GO last event, and CS:GO is much more like sAuce than 1.6... they raped MOUZ CS:S team in CS:GO, and that team ended up winning the CSS event.

If anything, that tells us that 1.6 is the harder game, and 1.6 players are more skilled than saucers.

Fight with the facts.
2012-05-13 21:24:13
yo man, CSGO is the shit to decide who is better..

put verygames 2010 and 2011 to play in that tournament and it would be 2-0, 16-0 each map... seriously.

yes, 1.6 players are more skilled because you say so, thats a great argument, really. because a new game which most players never played before can decide anything..
2012-05-13 21:35:43
LOL, thats one angry sAucer right there!

Your kids were raped by the 1.6 professionals.
Thats life bru, live with that now!
2012-05-13 21:38:32
yo man, im really mad. if i have the reason in thise flame war this gonna change so many things!

right, 1.6 players are gods because they won a showmatch.. long live 1.6, the game that never dies :D
2012-05-13 21:42:32
You put verygames 2010 / 2011 (I don't even know who they are lol) vs any of the top10 1.6 teams IN 1.6 and they will be raped 16-0. Your point again?

He was right, the only real events we could compare 1.6 players vs source players, were fnatic vs reason.css in CSPromod, and 1.6 vs source in CS:GO last event. And in both events the 1.6 teams won. Coincidence? Yeah, right, believe in that, if thats how it works for you.

Have a nice day, my frustrated sAurce friend!
2012-05-13 21:41:53
haha! You just humiliated him :)
2012-05-13 21:44:15
Thats such a nice thing to say when you have no arguments xD
2012-05-13 21:47:17
You dont know them? Oh right, i forgot how much you care about the CSS scene. I never said VG would crush any 1.6 team in CSS? Maybe because its normal? If NAVI couldnt crush VG in 1.6 i would be shocked lol.

Hmm, not a coincidence, but it also does not show who is the most skilled. You know why? Because you cannot know that. You simply cannot. Different games, different styles of playing (although they are both fps games). If you think 1.6 are more skilled than CSS players, im fine with that.. Your opinion counts shit, just like mine so :)

Yup, you too my friend who thinks i care about some random guy opinions on hltv, rofl xD
2012-05-13 21:46:59
well, the 1.6 players have something concrete in this argument. The 1.6 players DID beat source players when they played. It was in CSP and in CSGO, but thats still CS. Not ideal, but that IS SOMETHING.

You, one the other hand, have nothing concrete in this argument, only your random foolish opinion.

I'm sorry to say, but looks like you lost.

Better luck next time!
2012-05-13 21:51:31
Ahahaha, dude, whatever. Just because you won showmatches doesnt mean that 1.6 has more skill than CSS. Seriously LOL.

Yeah, thats a great argument... I will just watch Cristiano Ronaldo vs federer in basketball to see who is better.

Get a brain xD
2012-05-14 00:31:16
lol css was always a joke same with cod if u want to play a game that takes skills and not just camping and spraying and praying play the game that spawn games as css and cod 1.6>all
2012-05-13 21:25:12
just live with it
2012-05-13 22:01:14
1.6 POLICE destroyed CS:source.
Trust me. This is troll over 9000:D
2012-05-13 22:01:21
2012 both cs are dead , and we still have these fightss who killed who.

If FPS community has a B out of Brain than it would fully support cs:go and unite cs and css community so the esport can have an FPS game on top again.
2012-05-13 22:09:57
hahaha, if you had more than 10gr of brain you would know that our community don't like bad games and won't support bad games like CS:GO is right now. I own a beta key and give as much feedback as I can but Valve/HPE is just playing dumb, their updates are useless and they are completely ignorant when it comes to our community. Why would we support those idiots?

maybe they fix the game, maybe they don't, but CS 1.6 have been 13 years on top of eSports/competitive gaming and thats just because it is a great and balanced game that favours the better players, I doubt many other games will get near to what CS 1.6 has acomplished mainly because the gaming industry is getting worse and worse (i.e. Riot games and Blizzard paying to make their games popular in korea and making casual versions of DotA and Broodwar)

TL;DR: not a single eSport game will last as much as CS 1.6 unless we get a decent replacement for it.
