Noticed that I had 1.6 installed and thought why not. Played it for about 2 hours.
I change my mind. I feel like the gunplay is better than in Source. It feels way more responsive and it's more fluid to switch between shit you're shooting at. But, that could just be because I get way better FPS in 1.6. That naturally makes it feel more fluid, I guess.
Still, it felt that bullets went where I pointed them towards more than they did in Source, I could actually get kills consistently from medium range. I didn't really like how inaccurate things were in Source, I guess you could probably learn to hit people anyway if you just practiced enough, but god forbid I practice enough for that. I think I appreciate 1.6 more because my accumulated aim from playing other games carries over a bit better. Sure, there's still the trademark cancer CS accuracy, but as long as you don't run and gun it seems on the okay-ish side.
Which is weird. I thought 1.6 would be the most hardcore one, I always joked about it with buddies as one of those games that does whatever the fuck it wants and what you do doesn't matter. Source felt more like that.
Or maybe I'm just having extreme placebo. Might be that these games aren't really all that different other than their look and slightly quirks.
But either way, 1.6 is still the better experience. Because I can actually get servers without a million bots and get to play on interesting maps. I got to play on pool_day. I appreciate that a lot.
>>16912821I knew as much, yeah. Was all I played on CS:S when little. Never really could seriously get myself into bhop though, because other movement gamemodes just come off as better to me. Either in CS itself or other games altogether.
I'd rather watch someone who already sunk thousands of hours into it like those videos rather than do it myself, one of those things. Probably don't want carpal tunnel, also.
