What does /v/ think about Counter Strike 1.6?
>>321585945
Great sit. Many, many memories of good times associated with it.
>>321585945
shit
We used to have great threads about it before CSGO came out
it was great back in its days, but it hasn't aged well
What if CS 1.6 gunplay was translated into an open world PvP deathmatch?
>>321585945
that aint even 1.6 u big dumbo

>I tell him I don't notice a lot of that in competitive compared to years ago
>he asks me what competitive is
>I explain
>turns out he only plays 1.6, mostly deathmatch
>he goes on a rant about how CSGO and Source are shit, not "real and true CS" etc.
>he's so loud and angry that everyone else at the table has gone silent and is staring at us
I'm never talking about video games in public again, holy shit
>>321588148
bullshit but okay
The entire era of gaming that housed games like cs 1.6 was one of the best gaming eras. The internet was still an early thing back then and it was just fucking great, everybody and everything was funny and fun.
>>321588148
Cs go is hardly counter strike, it doesn't even look or play like CS any more.
>>321588345
not really
it's only shitter playing shit game modes or at low/average skill level saying competitive environement are toxic in every game. Once you actually improve and make it with good players it's quite great.
>Dedicated servers are dead
>>321588632
Not here in Chile, at least. There are a lot of servers, and hundreds of people play all the time. Most of the players are ragers though, but they're also pretty fucking funny.
There is not a single reason to be a 1.6 purist nowadays. The small count that do post about its superiority are insufferable.
THE PHANTOM
THIS GUY PUSHES LIKE A FUCKING IDIOT DUDE
I AM THE LAW
>>321585945
had some amazing times and met lots of skilled players online, the game was by no means perfect but:
- those community servers
- people actually playing and trying to improve together, showing other people smokes on servers or pop flashes
- chilling with your mates on your own server and waiting for a PCW while idling on Quakenet IRC channels
- farming clanbase or ESL ladders
- 1v1 aztec - wood doors only
- as_oilrig
- de_westwood
+ tens of other different community made maps
just off the top of my head
>>321588468
The only thing missing from GO are sprayable wallbangs and some movement options.

Still the best version of CS. I like Source and GO too but just 1.6 plays best. It's a shame that promod died and tournament level 1.6 is ignored.

WHY ARE THERE SO MANY CHEATERS IN CS:GO?
>>321590943
All popular games are filled with cheaters.
>>321590903
Holy fuck that video is depressing. Why did valve fuck up bhopping so much?
>>321590943
Better question: are there any good/funny videos of CS:GO? I can list a ton of classic fucking CS 1.6 and CS:S videos. CSGO is pretty lackluster in terms of its community.
WC3 mod was best
>be really bad at actually shooting things
>roll human

>sit in dark corners with knife out, waiting for people to run past so you could knife the last guy
Good times, good times. Only downside were the undead who run 60% faster than you, and random x300% damage Orca grenades. Also, that one person running buy you, pointing his gun at you, then running past....and coming back to do a double take and kill you....those were also priceless.

Do you consider this funny or good?

Honestly CS:GO just feels like it gets more and more casual with every update and it's really pissing me off
>>321591521
>Why did valve fuck up bhopping so much?
Because it was OP.
>>321590943
I just played a little casual and every game had one. Why do people even cheat? Just don't see the fun in it.
1.6 makes my ears cum, everything sounds so fucking good in that game
why does GO have such an awful sound engine
>>321592432
>Why do people even cheat?
To counteract the rng spray patterns
>>321585945
Pay to win Pc garbage
>>321592247
Only casuals and idiots buy skins and knives anon so it makes sense the keep casualizing the game, that and the incessant whining from its community.

nipper mats were fun as fuck
despite buggy vehicles, that one level with the airships was pretty fun
>>321592235
what
>>321592916
Didn't they add a "stamina" feature so even if you do the action correctly, you lose speed after 2-3 jumps?
>>321590903
this kid was a script btw
this was around the time of that undetectable lua script. it had a bhop script in it, i tried it out and turned into phoon. i never used it on esea just to be safe, but apparently esea couldn't detect it either
>>321593242
that was day of defeat
>>321593242
not from what I noticed
they did cap the speed you can achieve from it at around 250/300 units (from what I vaguely recall, may want to check) but it's still slightly faster than using the knife (and repeatedly halfhopping down slopes still gives you insane speed)
>>321593658
>>321593523
Makes sense, my mistake then.
>>321585945
It was full of babies
t. Quake player
>>321590943
whats worse is people actually make new accounts, buy the game again just to smurf
fuck smurfs in every game
>>321593782
As someone who wants to get into quake far too late, shit sucks man. Genre is A+ but people are so good, my only concern about the comp/duel scene is that it seems like maps would be 'figured out' really fast, which makes it a little stale.
>>321593446
no, I want to believe
>>321585945
Goldsrc had a tooon of issues but what I wouldn't give to have another arcade styled shooter like half life

Derankers are a step above smurfs and only a little worse than cheaters.
>>321593782
Ya quake players are so much more mature acting smug in every cs thread and circlejerking about the worst entry in the quake series.
>>321594749
>maps would be 'figured out' really fast
What do you mean by this?
>join match
>chat is being spammed with this shit
>some fag with a Pepe avatar is spamming fucking anime music
>another guy is spamming fucking meme music from 2007
Still not the worst moment I've experienced in the few months I've had this game
>>321596543
Just kidding m8.
>>321596382
they make ranks mean nothing honestly
i'm still unranked. dont give a fuck about being silver or eagle whatever the fuck the ranking is
its easy to get carried in the game anyway
Shit graphics, no gun skins 1/5
>>321585945
Great game, one of the best FPS ever released.
>>321596595
I mean, I assume you'd figure out the routes to take when you have the stack to maintain maximum view/option coverage, and the guy without map control/the stack would have 1-2 routes he can take to get the yellow armor and what not.
Obviously it's not that black and white and people can delay armors and take it slower and hide more, but you could definitely have situations where the player ahead can maintain his lead by rotating between x and y and watching as many options as possible while simply playing the slower game rather than trying to chase and pressure with the stack.
I don't play much but from what I've watched it seems like situations like this would arise.
I know that's a wishy washy explanation but I can't be bothered rewriting it better.
>>321596295
>most of the video is people with AWPs being retarded
Not surprising
Day of Defeat was so much better, still great though
>>321596595
>>321597289
With that said, it's bound to happen in any game, like people know a lot of ideal peek spots and such in Dust for example, but having a frequent cycle of maps and new things to work out is always a nice touch, though not necessary.
To compare it to say starcraft for example though, there's usually a large variety of builds you can do on each map, against different races, different playstyles and all-in's, where as comparatively quake seems a little one dimensional, not that that's a bad thing though.
It simply means people have to be extremely good at those smaller, more refined situations.
I actually don't know if I'm complaining or not, like SSBM for example, less viable characters means deeper meta which is great, and sc2 has many rng'esque flaws due to build orders. I'm sure once I play more Quake and understand more about it I'll see the depth that I see in other games, just seems like it could get a little stagnant to me right now, even though I love it as a scrub.
>>321597289
Don't worry. Campy playtstyle is easily punishable as long as you're quick and have decent aim. Personally i hate health/armor pick ups and i'm always at the offensive.
> one dimensional
Nah, as soon as you start getting into the gameplay and you have a creative mindset a lot of possibilities emerge.
>SSBM
I literally got into this game thanks to the liberty you have compared to other fighting games. I think Melee is the Quake of fighting games.
>>321599891
I like you Anon, you a good kid.
I'm curious to see what my playstyle ends up like, I feel like it's very polarizing in many games, for example I always like the fast and technical characters like the scout in tf2 or fox in Melee, but I've floated towards Falcon more who's more defensive and calculated. And in other fighting games (I haven't gotten too deep yet) but I like the idea of aggressive mixup orientated characters, but I feel like I'll fit/end up as the slow methodical grapplers, so I have no idea where I'll end up in Quake.
Aggression always seems so nice but it's very hard to pull off and defensive is simply easier when you're getting into a game and can become a habit/playstyle over time.
>>321599891
>>321600496
Though opportunistic aggression (momentum riding like falcon does so well) is something I find myself very good at as well, so we'll see.
>>321596185
no, he was scripting. you can't get hops like that without scripts and it looked exactly like the lua scripts going around at the time
>>321600496
You will fit nice anon. I hope to see you around.
