"cs"go isnt cs !

FAIL THREAD
i really have to explain to another sourcer... I dont want to keep the name "counter strike" alive. i want to keep game counter strike 1.6 alive! No of us are forced to change to a game we dont like...

the players decide which version to be played in the future, CSPromod or CS:GO. CSPromod has what it takes to make the game international again and as Carmac said, if it has players and viewers from all over the world, CSPromod can be picked up.

I don't want to have anything with title CS and created by valve. Every CS they created was failure 1.6 is good because it was develope as modification not as game for moneys and look at other versions. Valve only want money they don't care too much about us. Only way of playing their CS:GO I see in some PROMOD like COD has.

Do you really believe CSP had a chance against Global Offensive? Thats navie

if csgo is it's last chance then RIP cs...

Last chance this last chance that, PLAY WHATEVER YOU WANT TO.

Tired of all this whining about 1.6 dying and csgo failing and csgo being the "LAST CHANCE", those are games, you have the freedom of switching between them! YES YOU DO!

i dont see a reason to support a game that isnt a game that we all know,1.6...
it is same as we support another fps game when we love 1.6...

Peple are blinded. CSGO is our last chance

I better play Battlefield 3 for competitive if I want to see realistic and amazing graphics
CS:GO just either fish nor fowl

cs:go is just a new update of cs:source, not of 1.6, both games are completly different. best thing they can do for the community of Counter-strike 1.6 is to release a new version, 1.7 with a new anticheat system, solid and unpenetrable. and leave us alone lololol because VAC is a joke :) and leave the cs:go for cs:source players.

games are for taking some fun.. CS:GO isn't a funny game. CS 1.6 is. That's all

nothing changes the fact that I think playing csgo is a shitty experience, i wouldnt want to play it even if somebody payed me, only moneywhores wo allready have gone all in into this pro CS lifestyle should even dare to attemp getting payed playing such shitty game, like getrigth and forest, they have no choice really. I dont blame them. I only blame myself if I ever play a shitty game just because its to TRY to keep alive something i was never part of anyway competitive esport cs1.6 so it doesnt matter a flying shit to me if this shitty cod game becomes the biggest valve flop iin history, or if it becomes succesfull, i still dont care, i dont enjoy it, its a total different game than the one i play with passion and emotion. i wont suuddenly start playing football or poker if suddenly all esports dissapeared, just because thats where the "scene" is alive. no way i hate those sports, no money will make me care. and if money is what make me care, its just a fabricated relationship, where the primal cause is money. thats how i feel about cs.go its bad and boring

Let's play Minesweeper!!!!

If CS:GO will be the main version in tournaments and it grows i will not play Counter Strike anymore.

omg another guy who says something like "cs 1.6 is dying cs:go is the only way to keep cs alive" maybe there arent as many tournaments and pro scene isnt as big as before, but we love 1.6 and we still play it so why should i play some fucking game i dont have as much fun playing it?!! fuckin retard

CS 1.6 Pro scene has died, not the game it self, as I can see on this forum, 90% of the players hate this game and from those 90%, 40%-50% will switch to CS:P so there will still be around 50% of players on this forum who will play it, also counting the TONS of guys who didn't register and the Non-Steamers, 1.6 will still be played by millions of people. So the game won't die in 1 year like some dumbfuck here says.


I don't like GO and CS:P, I played both and I don't like them, 1.6 will be my CS.

I really don't want to split hairs here, but the sentiment of "Our last chance to keep the game alive" was the same thing coming from CS:S.

The issue is, unless you:

1) Find the game enjoyable

2) Are already a top player in 1.6

3) Still think you can be that "next big thing"

There really isn't that much in it for anyone anymore. Just because the tournaments will be running it, doesn't mean people should play something they don't enjoy. People want to keep 1.6 alive because it's fun, because it's enjoyable to play and watch. CS:GO, to many, doesn't have that feel.

Intentionally playing something, or moving on to a game, just because it's "the new thing" doesn't make sense. If people don't like it, they just shouldn't play it. They shouldn't move on to something they know they don't enjoy, just for the sake of 'keeping CS alive.'

CS:GO isn't CS, it's an entirely new game. If people want to play CS:GO because of tournaments, or because it's the new popular game, whatever, they can play it.

But suggesting that people just play because it's going to be the new game receiving sponsorship support is idiotic.

1.6 will probably never see another tournament scene like it used to have, but that doesn't mean that people playing it should start playing CS:GO just because it's "the new thing" - if they hate it, let them hate it.

What people don't seem to be understanding is that notion of "Keep CS alive by playing CS:GO" is just as stupid as people bashing on those who want to switch to CS:GO.

I have ~30 friends who play CS regularly. I'd say somewhere around half of them like CS:GO and will swap to it. The other half? Not interested. They're playing the game they enjoy. If the community dies so hard that they can't play in any league, or any sort of competitive environment, they'll move on to a different game.

But you can still just play the game you like, anyone can. You don't have to be aspiring to be the next neo to have fun. If you're playing a game just because you want to become "the next big thing" you better have an insurmountable amount of talent, and some serious drive.

For those gamers who don't play to become the next big pro, and know they just want to play something competitive and have fun, they will pick what game they enjoy playing more. If that's CS:GO, they'll play that. If it's CS1.6, they'll play that. If it's LoL, SC2, whatever the game is, they'll play that.

Sending out a plea to the community to tell everyone to just "suck it up" and play CS:GO even if they don't like it is idiotic. I don't think people realize that if everyone just didn't go to events, or move on to CS:GO, it would be much more impactful for "keeping CS1.6 alive" but not everyone is the same. Some people love CS:S, some love CS:GO, and some love CS1.6.

If a mass of gamers just doesn't support CS:GO, instead of people being selfish and just trying to get their time in the spotlight, major tournaments wouldn't continue to run games. It's because of the community of people constantly wanting to be that "next big thing" where if an entire group of pros went on strike, they would just bring the next wave of people in.

It is an idiotic frame of mind for people to say "Well, the pro players are moving on, so clearly they agree that CS:GO is the future." No, they agree that for now, that's where the money is. CS1.6 is not a game where you can expect a lot of cash flow, so as long as there are guaranteed tournaments and prize payouts, they'll play whatever is on the chopping block. Just go ahead and ask all the guys who played in the CGS how much they loved CS:S.

Play what you enjoy.

why 10000 threads about this every day.
who wants to play cs:go let them play who doesnt stick to 1.6 or play csp.
if it isnt played on pro scene it doesnt mean that you cant play 1.6 now if you want

community isnt dead at all, is just the pro scene needs money
http://game-monitor.com/ sees 210k cs players right now and it misses a lot of servers, fx 2 of public servers i usually play on are not even in the database (but also it counts servers with bots so i dunno how much it is different from reality), however player count on steam is 40k which means great majority of people play on nonsteam, for free, so even though the community is big it's not interesting to sponsors at all, i'm quite sure if every nonsteam player would actually buy the game, we wouldnt have any problems
