QUOTE:Another thing about the game, is the way your brain needs to function. This was easily one of the harder things to overcome. In 1.6, I excelled at being smart and innovative, which requires your brain to think of solutions as situations are presented to you. In source, you don't really need to use your 'brain' per-say, it's really a game made brain that if you just follow the way things are 'supposed' to be done, the 'appropriate' result will follow, which shows the need to not think as much, therefore being easier. In 1.6, every situation and every moment of the round (yea, there is so much more round time to make things happen its unreal), that your brain is forcing you to think a lot and process all the information presented to you. Thus, making 1.6 a lot harder and more challenging. And for me, thats really what I want, a challenge. So glad I feel like the underdog, it's my favorite place to be in gaming.

how is that a source issue #9? though u dont make that assertion, 1.6 fanboys do, which completely misses the point. frod saying 1.6 is better than source because the "CGS" rules detriment the gameplay is stupid in so many ways.

He's talkin about the gameplay here. The movement and aiming is different so it makes you react to situations in source different than you would in 1.6. Those people who try to play source like 1.6 take the longest to succeed.

It you think of a situation that would fit the criteria that frod describes, you would realize that CGS rules have everything to do with his saying. I still can't believe he said that.

nice a spelling error. God forbidden.


btw, if you think that the game is played the same way with CGS rulesets, you are really mistaken and delusional. I'm not advocating one or the other, but they are played different.

#9 you're an idiot. Frod's opinion on source is extremely biased which is understandable when you play a game for a long period of time as he did with 1.6. But back before the CGS rule set teams like devastation were really good because there strategies were well planned. But everyone will have a biased opinion its his right to say it.

its an opinion dont get your panties in a bunch, but you would think if the round timer is shorter and you have to make quicker decisions it would be a little harder then having an extra 10 or so seconds to evaluate a situation what he said is an opinion but I think it is a little biased, he is saying that the round timer is longer you have to think about more going but at the same time you have more time to think about it, its kind of contradictory of him to say this because he says that source is a deathmatch type game, which requires faster evaluation of a situation.

#9 To someone who isn't a thickie, they'd realize that #7 is subtextually pointing out that Frod's comments reflect a criticism of the CGS rule-set, not Source itself.

That category apparently excludes you, however.

#7 Yes, what don't you get in that statement?

#8 Are you retarded? Ever heard of 3D visualisation? Imagination? Man there's a whole process behind wall-spamming someone and it takes a LOT of skill.

#10 fRoD has been one of the best players in the CGS last season, coL didn't do to well this season because they started practicing for 1.6 at the same time.

#11 You're so stupid you never noticed that 1.6 players always say "Source", but they're obviously talking about the Source played in the CGS?

#15 Wow, did you ever pass elementary school?

#18 With more time, CT side becomes harder because T's can fake a site, go to the other one, fake it and then go back.



The ignorance in this thread makes me want to puke.

#21 then maybe they should practice for the game that they're on tv for instead of a dead game.

#22 Man, everyone in this thread have their own opinions.

I'm not saying they're right though, some of them are just clearly dumb while some simply prefer Source, and I don't care about that.

It's just those kids claiming to have experience in 1.6 and Source and clearly never played 1.6 outside of pub servers.

#23 You probably think Soulja Boy is the SHIET because it's on TV? Hahahaha.

On the other hand, I'll have to remind you that CS1.6 isn't dying at all. You're so F*ing dumb LOL.


Time for you to go listen to some Soulja Boy.


By the way, I usually just ignore threads like these but I couldn't hold myself anymore, you guys are really just spreading fake information. I don't like that.

#21 if you know how to play the game as a team you wont over rotate so that there goes right out the window, maybe on a lower level but how often does that workout in upper tier matches. Dont call me ignorant because you dont know how to play the game and the only way you can pull 1 round on tside the whole match is by faking 3 times in 1 round.
