2012-07-19 06:51:30

2012-07-19 06:53:03
How much?
2012-07-19 07:27:28
doesn't matter
2012-07-19 09:14:06

2012-07-19 08:27:31
LOL
2012-07-19 11:52:54
I prefer CSPromod with bots then online cs:GO
2012-07-19 19:41:14
we'll see what will u prefer when delpan plays cs:go
2012-07-19 20:01:32
troll much?

players who I know aren't looking forward to CS:go because the game seems to be a remake of source. i wouldn't be surprised one bit if the first version out of beta lacks the competitive depth that made 1.6 so great.

who gives a fuck if a percentage of 1.6 pros make the switch. I'll invest time in a game when I know the gameplay is on par with 1.6, not just because "delpan" or whoever is playing

2012-07-20 07:47:40
So you play a game just because some guy in Sweden does it too (and probably only because he gets money for doing it)?
Seems legit.

as u could notice my post about delpan was adressed to the guy, who has "<3 delpan" in his nick. as for me, i don't like delpan, gays and cs:go
2012-07-20 20:22:24
so there is a cheat for cs:go already? damn lucky him
2012-07-20 17:01:56
CS:GO not better and not worse 1.6, all who say "CS:GO shit" this schoolkid, which nay no play in GO
2012-07-20 01:58:11
not true at all...
2012-07-20 02:38:11
why?
2012-07-20 03:19:17
the gameplay looks too much to css thats why alot say it sucks

recoil movement etc...

its not about hating from kids.

i know lan players who were on 1.6

they love 1.6 but on lans they only do css lans with better prices or only css

and they rather play css then cs go

the maps are changed in a bad way too...

and u know thats not gonna be changed.


And its ur point of view anyways sry for saying its not true but wathever.

so no more cs 1.6
2012-07-19 06:59:50
Does Valve give money to ESWC? All they have to do is sponser some money to the major tournaments to use cs:go instead of 1.6 and 1.6 will be dead
2012-07-19 07:03:50
how do you think 1.6 was ever alive? through sponsorships ofcourse...
2012-07-19 10:43:13
For a moment I thought that ESWC had modified their decision of dropping 1.6 :(
2012-07-19 07:05:42
i thought that hltv.org is about CS 1.6 :(

Uhm yea, you see any CS 1.6 coverage go away..?
2012-07-19 08:36:30
hltv.org switch to csgo in future?
2012-07-19 07:19:51
I'm sure if HLTV will cover CS 1.5 events if they are big enough
I think it will cover 1.6 and GO for the time being
2012-07-19 12:27:25
agreed..
2012-07-19 07:24:54
Cs 1.6 is da best
2012-07-19 07:25:04
sad
2012-07-19 07:47:59
If you don't care about csgo why do even bother posting (and hating) on this thread?
I also don't really care about it.. But come on, there people who do. So lets leave this thread to them
2012-07-19 08:06:23

pretty nice to see again a qualifier that includes a paid trip to the tournament
2012-07-19 17:50:04
can i read one thread that doesn't involve kids crying over 1.6 not being played, if it wasn't for csgo they wouldn't even support any counter strike this year.
2012-07-19 22:43:44
Im afraid you are on the wrong site, the kids here will never stop whining about their beloved 1.6....
2012-07-19 23:23:58
if someone developed a game with even half as much competitive depth as 1.6 maybe we'd stop crying faggot
2012-07-20 03:01:18
Faggot ? Maybe your father is a faggot kid, im not.

And, what does it bother you if the game is competitive or not, do you whine about everything you dont like in life ?, if i would whine about everything i didnt like i would be fucking whining all day.

so you are more a part of the system which tolerates everything in your life? great really great. some people stand up against something and others just follow the system even if its wrong. you lost your right for everything then

Where on my post did i say i tolerate everything ?

I dont have to be whining in an online forum to fight for what i think, if he wants to support 1.6 then thats great, eh can keep on playing, tuning in to events or whatever, but whining in an online forum wont help 1.,6 survive. That was my point, not that he shouldnt fight for 1.6, only that he should use other means than whining in a forum.

So yeah, you completely transformed my words.
2012-07-20 22:38:56
yeah i totally transformed your words
"do you whine about everything you dont like in life ?, if i would whine about everything i didnt like i would be fucking whining all day."
2012-07-21 13:51:15
Thats why, you are not supposed to whine, you are supposed to do something that will help things get better, for instance, if i was poor, i wouldnt sit crying in the river, i would try and get a job and such, just an example, you dont have to whine about crap, thats not how things are fixed.
2012-07-21 22:29:05
you are one of those guys that if it was for you we would be in medieval age
2012-07-20 17:48:45
I shouldnt even bother answering to you.

Actually if it was folr people like you or him, we would still live in medieval age, as you are the ones who dont want to accept something new like CS GO, and only want to keep playing a 10 years old game.

Now, what you need to understand is that i have no problem with people playing 1.6, i also enjoy the game, my problem is with people wo think that nobody can play or like GO only ebcause they dont like it.
2012-07-20 22:41:59
FUCK U CS:GO
2012-07-20 00:22:13
nice,..
2012-07-20 02:36:25
promod for lyfe!~
2012-07-20 03:00:34
csgo ... :)))
2012-07-20 03:02:29
Valve wanna make the americans happy by releasing this new shitty games
2012-07-20 09:30:18
Get a separate icon for cs:go news. Or add it in the title. Feels a bit early to not do so, most people are used to 1.6 news unless mentioned otherwise.
