Why do weapons in 1.6 sound so much better than their Global Offensive counterparts?

Nostalgia headphones.
>>334403803
Condition Zero is even better

because in the past, game devs focused on delivering "impact" with both visuals, map-design, and audio-design. Nowadays, however, too many developers only aim for "realism", and use pre-canned IRL gun sounds, that don't have the same "impact" as custom-made mixes or the real things in reality.
The Team-Silent's sound designer and composer, Akira Yamaoka, put it quite well in one interview few years ago, telling how he combined gunshot sounds with the noise of banging steel drums with a baseball bat, just to recreate that eardrum-popping feeling of power firearms should have.

It isn't nostalgia at all. Turn your volume up (~80) and fire an AK in 1.6, then try emptying an AK magazine in CS:GO at the same volume. The latter will likely deafen you temporarily from the audio clipping, it's horrendous.
>>334403803
Because the graphics are ass and your nostalgia goggles have nothing else to focus on

You have to be 18+ to post here, fuck off.

Because literally every facet of 1.6 is better than its CS:NO counterpart.

Graphics.
Smokes that actually work.
Molotovs are fun.
Some argue pistols are OP, but it's more fun to play ecos with stronger pistols.
There are more viable guns overall.

Really? Then why do they sound so piss weak?

>>334403803
1.6/CSS has the best sounds, goddamn that AK sound effect

>Valve game uses a version of Source engine
Inconceivable!
>>334408068
as opposed to what? Its the latest version of source

Smokes work in 1.6 pretty well.
Graphics are not important at all pic. related is how i play.
> it's more fun to play ecos with stronger pistols.
Spend 3k/get random running headshot from someone who spent 800. wow so fun

IIRC there was some way to reduce your graphics settings to the point where they would not be drawn.
>pic. related is how i play
Looks cute, what's the settings? Is there any FPS gain if I have a bad PC?
>Spend 3k/get random running headshot from someone who spent 800
Wouldn't it be nice if having more money than the other team would be a guaranteed win?
>>334408583
lol nice viewmodel
>>334408810
Just google lodbias. It's not about FPS gain, mostly about keeping it clean and sharp.
Keep in mind that you have to turn it off for ESEA and tournaments, because as it seems cluttered vision and hard to see models is an important feature of the game.
