CS vs CS:S - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

Suave · 01-31-2005, 12:46 PM

I searched and didn't find anything on this, so I thought I'd put it to a vote. Despite the outdate graphics, number of cheaters, and extent of e-thuggin' in Counter-Strike, I enjoy it a LOT more than Source and I'm not quite sure why. Technically I don't really play either of them much anymore, but it was a point of interest for me.

Wow yay. There was a bug and no poll was created. GO ME! Okay hopefully a mod will see this and add a poll, and if not, just post your preference.

Coppertop · 01-31-2005, 12:50 PM

I vote for the Source version. No real reason other than it's better looking.

Halx · 01-31-2005, 01:24 PM

You can add a poll yourself, I believe. Thread Tools menu above your post.

Anyways, I am not a player by any stretch of the term, but I sorta like the fact that the old CS is might brighter and you can SEE. Source seems to be darker, despite any adjustments you make to the gamma.

I hated the original CS, but I play CS:S quite often now. I dunno why, but I do.

FngKestrel · 01-31-2005, 02:08 PM

I'd got with Source, for the graphics, and the copious numbers of barrels they added to every level.

same here, i still like the halflife source better though and TFC classic the best of all

Rlyss · 01-31-2005, 03:08 PM

I've only ever played CS about a dozen times at LAN parties and I hated it, the whole thing seemed too random to me. At the time I was an avid Action Quake 2 player and that action seemed 'solid'. CS always struck me as seemingly random - I'd be 2 feet away from someone, crouching and firing point blank and nothing would hit them. AQ2 was much more solid. The community I played with in AQ2 was also much better, we had fun rather than saying 'haha got you f4g!1' comments.

But I do play CS:S a lot now and I like it enough to keep playing. It seems more solid than CS but still not quite as good as AQ2. I think the graphics are fantastic and the world seems fairly lively - turtles and barrels and bottles go flying, it's all good stuff.

So I vote for CS:S.

The Magic · 01-31-2005, 03:15 PM

I would vote for source, except that my computer sucks too much to play source well~

I also think, in some ways, CS looks better. The coloring is just more attractive, CS:S is very bland for me. I don't know how many here have played FFXI, but it's like comparing how FFXI looks to how WoW looks (FFXI being very bland, while WoW being vibrant and colorful)

blitz.fenix · 01-31-2005, 04:14 PM

CS and CS:S is only enjoyable on an ultra fast computer with high speed connection. Other than that I'm slamming my mouse against the table in primal rage.

Chuckles · 01-31-2005, 08:31 PM

I still play CS, also known as 1.6 . Its not as random as CS:S is.

Gortexfogg · 01-31-2005, 08:41 PM

CS:S, only because of the rag doll physics. And I guess the cool graphics too.

thriolith · 01-31-2005, 08:53 PM

I'm rather sick of both by now. But, gotta love the physics in Source.

Anomaly_ · 01-31-2005, 09:27 PM

For me, CS is now unplayable without bunnyhopping(both CS and CS:S). The mod never purported to be about extreme realism so I don't understand how the feeling of walking in molasses is supposed to be improve gameplay. The number of Steam-converted 1.5 servers seems to be dwindling too.

TheShadow · 01-31-2005, 10:02 PM

I cannot touch the original CS after playing source. It's just so much better in every aspect - graphics, physics, lack of hacks, etc.

Xenomorph · 02-01-2005, 12:28 AM

I play Source for the physics and the relative freedom from cheaters.

I definately agree that the graphics in 1.6 make for a much more playable game though. Maybe it's just that I'm so accustomed to them.

livewirerc · 02-01-2005, 04:47 AM

Definately a Source fan. I hadn't played CS in a long while, but after my wife got me HL2 for Christmas I've been a CS addict once again. Great graphics, good physics, lotsa guns. I could do without out some of the kids who play though...

Suave · 02-01-2005, 04:54 PM

Thanks Hal! I tried doing it through "edit".

Destrox · 02-02-2005, 06:52 AM

Played CS from way the hell back in early beta before the game had 1/4 of what it has now.. and I am truely thankful for source.

The last 3-4 patches/versions for CS continually made the game worse from what it once was. CS:S made insanly brilliant chances to CS that I love to no end. Although I still hate both CS and CSS for taking away my precious docks.

Now if only we could filter players by actual age I would feel like playing the game again.

blar · 02-02-2005, 08:37 AM

man i have yet to try out source but since i played cs for a very long time i have become sick of it...so i have to say source

Spicy McHaggis · 02-02-2005, 10:36 AM

I like CS:S but we need more maps and character models desperately!

I'm so sick of every other server being Dust 24/7!!

I still play CS:S, but it's just to kill time until DOD:S
