So I aim for the head, yet the bullet doesn't register cause the hitbox is too small. Does this make the game harder? Yes. Does this make any sense? Nope.

Still what I said earlier remains true, the models are bigger compared to the maps. That the hitboxes are a bit smaller than the models doesnt matter so much, the hitboxes are still relatively bigger :)

And by "less skill" I mean individual skill. You can't really argue with me that the movement in CS:GO is simpler than in 1.6. Things like doing a crouchhop to get on a small edge without making a sound and without losing speed or doing a quickhop to peak around a corner or over a box is what makes 1.6 so fun to play for me and a lot of other people. There is a lot to learn in 1.6 movementwise, this doesn't seem to be the case in CS:GO.

Ofcourse, when people hit the skillceiling for individualskill earlier, the game will rely more on teamplay. I'm not saying that won't be fun tho. Its just not what counter-strike is for me.
