Counter-Strike’s Civil War: Was Source Really THAT Bad? | OverExplained

by devaccess



What if Valve threw a party, and nobody came? What if they made a new game, hyped it up, and a lot of people decided that it sucked?

And what if it became a dark stain on the company’s legacy — one referred to equally with derision and sadness? No, we’re not talking about Artifact – we’re talking about Counter-Strike’s bastard son…

5:15 doesn't make ANY sense… How would putting a CS:S team against a 1.6 team, in a CS:S tournament, put the 1.6 team at an advantage? Did he accidentally say Source instead of 1.6?

counter strike source is actually the best game in the series ! besided 1.6 which is great too but it's more nostalgia than actual gameplay 😀

This is bullshit. Source was what started me into building my first PC. Definitely got a downvote

Source built the community that got into, and made GO what it is today

counter strike source may not have been the best in terms of what makes counter strike what it is, but FUCK did the community kick so much ass, css had by far the most creative output in terms of community content

Okay who actually says source is bad. You're playing it for about 3-5 reasons:

– Jailbreak
– Bhop
– Deathmatch
– Surf
Or custom maps, 1v1 or competitive scrims.
I dont know about you all but i had a blast playing this, it never gets boring 😀

Am i the only one who loves css for the movement?

CSS is much better than CSGO! Better movement and skins for EVERYTHING(Maps, Guns, Models++++) for free! And the guns sounds like guns;]

There's no way 1.6 is better than pre-07/2010 CS:S.
It has way too much cheese and much cruder mechanics that only those getting money for it would bother overcoming and mastering.

Only reason CS:S "felt" easier is because you could actually focus on fighting your opponents and not the game.

Many people call the oldest CS as CS1.6 but the version 1.6 came out in 2003.
1.0 was released in 2000.

Counter-Strike was never a game about competitive play, yes people did play it competitively, but the majority of the playerbase was always scattered across custom community servers running mods like Zombies or Jailbreak.

I have never EVER heard people said they dislike CS:Source before, yet, people shit talking csgo all the time. The game started by valve, and sustained by the community, i mean yeah, the awp in css is broken as shite, that's why there are some server literally called : "dust_2 24/7 no awp, no auto", and of course, excuse me, the number of player in community server in source is greater than this channel subscriber, so don't call it trash

CSS was a vast improvement from CS 1.6. If the pros don't like it, they can stick on CS 1.6 and shut up
