css takes my heart every day of the week.. aged like fine wine. One of the things i hate the most about current cs is the insane amount of props on official maps and therefore the bad performances. Also the fact that they pretend to be competitive when theres no working anti cheat besides faceit. Valve devs and CS2 community doesnt know what CSS community servers used to be, they have no clue.
Source was my first online multiplayer game where voice chat was a thing which blew my mind at age 11 so it's very near and dear to me and will always be the GOAT. I was saddened to see CSGO did not have nearly half or anything at all in regards to community based freedom like source did.
I started with CS Beta 0.7.1 up to 1.6 (Though, I preffered 1.5 more). But when CSS released, I played both until I decided to move to solely CSS. Good times.
3:00 That's true based on my experience, I started with CS Source and then when I tried CS 1.6 I thought it was old and outdated but that didn't stop me from having fun playing it But I still prefer CS Source because I started from there and I liked it
I started with 1.5 and continued with 1.6, so for me it is the opposite. The thing about Source is that it was ALWAYS less popular than 1.6. Sure, a lot of people liked how Source looked (myself included), but playing it felt really wrong (not to mention there was PHYSICS and bouncing barrels that blocked your shots, imagine how frustrating that was for players, it was a big turnoff for CSS back then). Funny enough, people were still playing 1.6 when CSGO came out. But this time, Valve was fully committed to the game, and it quickly became the most popular version of the game, attracting new players to a franchise that was actually dying
@@KeksimusMaximus people played 1.6 for the competitiveness, this is why 1.6 died when csgo took over but source did not. also cs2 is still the biggest fps game on steam and it wont stop growing
I literarily love both of them. I've spent so many hours on those games that I can't pick only one. I loved the Surfing so much on CS:S and the GG servers. On CS 1.6 I loved the matches I've been participating in with different communities of CS 1.6. It was a golden period for me. Sadly, many of those communities have closed (some of them "recently"). I have so many memories of those 2 games. Sometimes I wish I could have so much time that I could spend playing them again. Right now, I am spending my free time playing mostly CS2‚ and even if I've been facing so many cheaters lately‚ I love this one too. Each CS game is unique and I love all of them (official games not community modded versions).
7:16 I started playing CS 1.5 in 2003, and I first got Steam in 2004 to keep playing on 1.6 when WON shut down. I started played CSS from the first day of release in 2004. My initial exposure to both games were almost the same time at this point (2003 vs 2004). In my opinion, both are equally good. Sometimes I'm more in a mood for one or the other, but I've had basically equal amount of playtime in both for the last 20+ years
@@NinetyEight418 Im saying this since GO release. We need something like Counterstrike : Sourcemod which is the sucessor to CSS and its main point is public servers, casual gameplay, funservers, surf, deathrun etc. So a sandbox platform inside of counterstrike with the existing content from CS2 (So skins, guns, maps etc). I think Valve thinks gmod already exists so they won't do it. But since S&Box release is TBA and i honestly prefer CSS mod servers to gmod mod servers its not going to happen. So what im saying is Gmod is not the same as CSS and css is so much more unique and fun to play modded stuff on. But i guess valve does not see enough reasoning to actually make a 2nd CS for that.
CSS was the first cs and source game I have ever played and I used to play a lot of cs 1.6 with mods like deathrun, zombie mod and gungame back in the day, so I feel nostalgic about both versions. Css is more polished and beautiful looking version (it looks and feels better than csgo/cs2 IMO), and cs 1.6 has the most mods
2:47 de_prodigy in Source was so disappointing when I saw they had removed the precipice from that area that was in the 1.6 and CZ versions of the map, and replaced it with a couple generic buildings with a fence in front of it
Eh, I think that's in the more hardcore scene that is so polarized, as a filthy casual I find CS2 much more refreshing than CSGO, I found they ironed it out, I couldn't exactly pin point one thing. A more stylish less gritty art style? Or maybe it's the menu's don't give me a conniptions anymore. I've only really found myself playing CS lately actually, the game feels fresh again
I fell you man. It's hard to distinguish between those two. Even tho I have played CS 1.6 more and it was my first CS, I still preferr CSS... The biggest reason I preferr CSS over Cs 1.6 is physics and being able to make your crosshair beautiful and steady ALL THE TIME instead of having to bear the trouble of looking at that HYPER dynamic crosshair which DOES NOT ALLOW YOU TO SHOOT PROPERLY. I have always hated that in CS 1.6 so I preferr CSS over all, it has more mods and is, just better...
Never knew why people didnt like the 1.6 "expoits". I kinda miss them in the new games, paper thing walls made the game skill ceiling even higher, dont see how thats bad. Same goes to SGSing and bhopping. I personally plsy games for fun, dont know why people nowdays talk about the realistic aspect of them. Its a game, its supposed to be unrealistic
I play both, when I play CS, I start with 1.6, then I play Source just to see the evolution I think both has their own good things, and they can be enjoyed separately, without being compared with each other
I first played CS like... 4-5 years ago (CSS) so it always was the most fun of the two oldies in my opinion. Nowadays I just plays CS2 and sometimes Source.
The Counter-Strike franchise as a whole is a matchless experience. Whether you are a competitive player or a casual one that wants to hop in for s*** and giggles, there's room for every kind in all the CS games. I like both equally and probably more than CS2 though what I sincerely miss are the early days of CSGO. That tactical focused theme was so new at the time. Such a throwback.
Dont forget how cscz serve as the very backbone of css. It starts with bot friendly maps and proper gun/map designs (cs maps are made by community and they are less optimized). Heck even the gun buy icon in css is taken from cscz
@@Immolator772 do you mean map decorations? Ofc you cant compare source to goldsrc. Anyway if you refer to how some paths are changed, source directly follows cscz. Most obviously in militia and prodigy
@@DeanAmx CSCZ has many obstructions and changes to some maps that i can see why people hate them. I myself like the easthetic and visuals, but they should've just done that, not add props that can give advantage to players.
Nothing will ever touch 1.0-1.6 .That's actual, real CS. The GOAT. Peak performance. What followed is something else. Games that are "CS" only in name, nothing more. - Much much lower skill ceiling with every iteration. This is just a fact. If you don't believe me, check out "CS 1.6 final movie" on youtube to see what was possible and then compare with the best highlights of the other games. Or don't, actually. It's embarrassing for the other games. - More utility play and strats because people can't aim for shxt. Meanwhile, back in 1.6 everybody and their dog had laser guided aim and nades were an afterthought. - More and more clutter on the maps (just what you need in a competitive game) + agent skins that make the enemies hard to see - The worsening of movement and disappearance of all the skill that came with it - Skins. In a competitive game. I don't need to say more. But skins are cool for the casuals, I guess... - Casual gamemodes in the most tryhard game to ever exist? Why? - etc. If the 1.6 esport scene had all the sponsor backing and viewership CS:GO did, we would still be watching 1.6 pro matches to this day and the level would be so so so far above what's currently possible in CS2. People don't even realize what could have been.
5:36 The water shimmering effects in Source always annoyed me, because they're not clamped at the edges, which gives that weird white speckling at the edges of water bodies like you can see here. I always circumvented that in my own maps by having the water edge outside of view of the playable area, but there's no reason I should have to do that
I am 34.I play cs 1.6 to this day because there are still full servers with players from my country.But if cs source would've had as many players,i would play it instead.cs s is best cs imo.cs go/2 just didn't feel the same for me.
i'm probably speaking to myself here, i'm 32, i remember being a teen when cs source came out, people HATED IT, i call them 1.6 elitists, my friend always told me that 1.6 have better skins, dont know wtf hes talking about, also, there the 1.5 elitists who told everyone how 1.5 was better then 1.6
Also source had best rag dolls, for some reason they broke it with some update. I remember when you used shotguns and model goes against the wall with alot of blood. Source 2 hopefully will bring back community once souce 1 had.
I grew up with both games, first CS 1.6 and then CSS. And i love both, only reason i prefer CSS is the aesthetic and the physics. Which another reason why i prefer HL2 over HL1. The aesthetic of Source is just darker. I spent more time on CSS, but i still have unforgettable moments with 1.6, the times were much simpler back then.
4:20 - I prefer CSS for the most part, but THIS. This is indeed, a point. I may not like cs1.6 but the death animations are engrained in my brain to this day
2 months ago i managed to create a Extra Items system for CS:S zombiemod (new weapons, double jump, zombie bombs...) However i gave up working on my server and now im just playing games
i grew up with CS 1.6 and contion zero and switch between them, but the moment i got CS source i moved there allmoste imidetly because of one thing, 1 deg was way more satisfying
the last point is true tho, i actually dont understand why was there a debate in the first place - on the graphic : both of them have their own charms, + cs1.6 look really retro and cartoonish, i really dig the vibe of it + cs:s has this liminality vibe and nolstagic look to it ( i understand cs1.6 is much much nolstagic but cs:s was fully released in 2011, the golden age of video game so i have more things to remember about it rather than 1.6 ) - both game has unmatched modding capability, you can literally play dark soul in css, and you can play half life with cs1.6 weapons, how cool is that - i played both game, and love both of them, and we as valve consumer should rejoyce the existance of both
Css has a special place for the people that lived it i mean slide trikz zombie bhop deathrun multigames soccer dodgeball gungame and ofc mirc competitive Css had an scary atmosphere i dont know the bhop maps and trikz maps always made me feel spooky and scared also you could say no and yes only head moves in css if you move mouse left and right PS we need all original skins from Css cz and DSa agents
The biggest issue with Source is that it required the Steam client. That’s why I kept my server on 1.6 until they stopped allowing private servers to operate.
I started with CS Source played hours, days, weeks, months, basically a long time Zombie escape, Zombie Mode, (2 totally different modes actually), Surf and Bhop After trying out CS:GO in 2013 I continued playing CS Source because it was the better game in my opinion Around 2014 I started playing Gmod and slowly got more to the Source engine and saw sometimes something of CS:GO Around 2016 was the time when I started with CS:GO for real and switched to it completly. About 2 years later when Dust 1 and Aztec got removed from the game it was time for me to go back. That's the time when I met Condition Zero. I played the campaign to the end. Every single mission. Afterwarts I even finished Condition Zero Deleted Scenes. After playing CS:S, CS:GO, CS:CZ, CS:CZ Deleted Scenes and the Chinese game Counter-Strike Nexon Zombies (which later became Counter-Strike Nexon Studio) ... ...I was still missing 1 game.... CS 1.6 And Now where CS2 is officialy out and CS:GO gone. I can truelly say I played all important versions of CS Here is my list of the best CS games: Competitve: 1. CS:GO July 2018 (before the game became Free to play) 2. CS2 3. CS:CZ 4. CS 1.6 Fun: 1. CS:S 2. CS:GO 3. CS 1.6 4. CS:CZ Deleted Scenes Gameplay ("Real Counter Strike Experience"): 1. CS:CZ 2. CS 1.6 3. CS2 4. CS:GO ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Long Story Short: If a new player would start into the world of CS Those are the top 3 CS games in Order for Competitve (March 2024) 1. CS:CZ 2. CS2 3. CS 1.6 And those 3 games are for the most fun (March 2024) 1. CS:S 2. CS:CZ Deleted Scenes 3. CS2
As a 2000 hours player of Counterstrike 1.6, I can say the gameplay is gritty and bloody than Source version of Counterstrike. Meanwhile, the Source version of Counterstrike is fast-paced, physics based and more casual than 1.6. But to be honest, both are great but I am more inclined to waste time in Counterstrike 1.6 because nostalgia purposes. But if I want to play casual shooter and enjoy physics based Counterstrike, then the Source version would be played. Also, communities in 1.6 are a bit active than the Source one (the multiplayer servers in Counterstrike Source has a lot of "Russian" scam servers compared to 1.6. By this point, I would consider both 1.6 and Source version of Counterstrike "classics" of its genre.
For crazy gamemodes we got garrys mod. When we open counter stike 99% want to play counter strike. Cs Source feels more like half life with cs skins, and 1.6 was different even if it born how a hf mod
I like 1.6 much more. paradoxically, the lighting in that game is just better, is possible to create proper contrast with pitch black areas of the map and light ones. and the crisp shadows on the viewmodels are to this day, super sexy. i loved playing classic zombie mode
Counter-Strike Source and Counter-Strike 1.6's weapons work a bit differently. The bullets would sometimes go well above the target while crouching, not moving and taking all the time to aim and with CS-S you can make the crosshair as little as you wanted with commands, but that is not the case with Cs 1.6 which makes it harder to aim or learn to aim
Well, for me CS 1.6 is Warcraft, de_dust2x2, 35 hp modded knife servers, and CSS was deathrun, all types of ze map and yeah respectivly the gmod-iness of the game. Yet still I enjoyed both as equal as my childhood ran even tho I played 1.6 when I was like 4 yo. (I never was a comp player and all of those cs 1.6 normal server tryhards felt not interesting for me)
I prefer css simply because it’s not as competitive as the others. Cs 1.6 has been around for so long so the players are very good and take it very seriously and the same is true for cs2 it’s just too serious. Css is the middle ground of the two with it being not that competitive and easy to pick up and play. I also like how easy it is to mod css, I started out with 1.6 and modding it was very annoying because you actually had to replace files instead of just dragging and dropping.
Source had best mods and best community out of all valve games, yes even g mod. The sounds and physics was nice, throw some bhop with it and go crazy. I still jump into source every now and then for nostalgia, same as 1.6. But source is where my heart is at. Hopefully cs will live long and be healthy when they fix cheating nonsense. Nothing is more nostalgic than quake sounds in cs 1.6 and classic songs in servers.
If want to play competitive: CS 1.6 and CS:GO If want to have fun on random servers: CS 1.6 and CS:S and CZ If want to have depression and psychotic episodes: CS2
If they do it like Left 4 dead zombie death animation+physics that'd be actually fire but I think CS2 is deviating to competitive-feel more than ever so I think that'd be unlikely
Promod should have been CSS much like Q4Max is what we think of as being Quake 4 retroactively. Late CSS actually feels really good, however, the movement looks incredibly delayed. You almost need to shoot people preemptively and watch them walk into the shots to a degree which is not normal. GO was kinda like this, CS2 has somewhat corrected this, but in Source it’s absolutely awful. 1.6 feels massively more synched up with the player models.
CSGO is(was) the most competitive and balanced out of all CS CSS has the most mods and community support CS 1.6 is the best CS CZ is the game that tried to appeal to the offline market CS2 was the upgrade no one wanted
"Competitive" CS was the "meta" nobody wanted. Everyone who actually did eSports just made a private passworded scrim server or w/e in the earlier games
cs source is the better one, people dont realize, afterall its a remake of it so they made it better and you were kind of biased on source and 1.6 taking 1.6's side more for big details
I get the point about csgo fixing many things with maps and what not, but movement in 1.6 is superior. It just felt right and still does. Idk what's up with it, not a dev so can't put it in proper lingo, but it just moves right, jumps nice just feel so so good. For me it's perfect movement for any action game, I think risk of rain 2 feels similar. And for that reason alone I quit cs one it moved from 1.6
Great comparison, 1.6 just has it, it has that something. I tried source but it's terribly numb, and a perfect example that it's not enough to simply copy everything to a new engine and success is guaranteed.

However i gave up working on my server and now im just playing games
I hope one day you can continue that work! I’m glad the CSS zombie community is still slightly thriving thanks to a few servers
2:00 "non steam initially" - False, kid. CS 1.6 was released three days after Steam launched. CS 1.6 was always a Steam game
But CS up to 1.5 was never a Steam game.
@@MrSnaetch this video is about 1.6
i grew up with CS 1.6 and contion zero and switch between them, but the moment i got CS source i moved there allmoste imidetly because of one thing, 1 deg was way more satisfying
I tried 1.6 yesterday after a few years of not playing it but playing cs:s, I can say that I can't aim for shit in 1.6. So I hopped back to cs:s.
the last point is true tho, i actually dont understand why was there a debate in the first place
- on the graphic : both of them have their own charms,
+ cs1.6 look really retro and cartoonish, i really dig the vibe of it
+ cs:s has this liminality vibe and nolstagic look to it ( i understand cs1.6 is much much nolstagic but cs:s was fully released in 2011, the golden age of video game so i have more things to remember about it rather than 1.6 )
- both game has unmatched modding capability, you can literally play dark soul in css, and you can play half life with cs1.6 weapons, how cool is that
- i played both game, and love both of them, and we as valve consumer should rejoyce the existance of both
honestly I started out with counter strike 1.6, and then went into source, and safe to say, I love both of them!!
2:38 CZ, my favorite :)
mine too HD 1.6 experience
CZDS: the true best game of CS
@@nsf001-3 very weird game but still amazing that the franchise had the guts to try something new
Css has a special place for the people that lived it i mean slide trikz zombie bhop deathrun multigames soccer dodgeball gungame and ofc mirc competitive Css had an scary atmosphere i dont know the bhop maps and trikz maps always made me feel spooky and scared also you could say no and yes only head moves in css if you move mouse left and right
PS we need all original skins from Css cz and DSa agents
The biggest issue with Source is that it required the Steam client. That’s why I kept my server on 1.6 until they stopped allowing private servers to operate.
1.6 is always in my heart but css was next gen game ❤
I started with CS Source
played hours, days, weeks, months, basically a long time Zombie escape, Zombie Mode, (2 totally different modes actually), Surf and Bhop
After trying out CS:GO in 2013
I continued playing CS Source because it was the better game in my opinion
Around 2014 I started playing Gmod and slowly got more to the Source engine and saw sometimes something of CS:GO
Around 2016 was the time when I started with CS:GO for real and switched to it completly.
About 2 years later when Dust 1 and Aztec got removed from the game it was time for me to go back.
That's the time when I met Condition Zero.
I played the campaign to the end. Every single mission.
Afterwarts I even finished Condition Zero Deleted Scenes.
After playing CS:S, CS:GO, CS:CZ, CS:CZ Deleted Scenes and the Chinese game Counter-Strike Nexon Zombies (which later became Counter-Strike Nexon Studio) ...
...I was still missing 1 game.... CS 1.6
And Now where CS2 is officialy out and CS:GO gone.
I can truelly say I played all important versions of CS
Here is my list of the best CS games:
Competitve:
1. CS:GO July 2018 (before the game became Free to play)
2. CS2
3. CS:CZ

AYO! WELCOME BACK 🕺
As a 2000 hours player of Counterstrike 1.6, I can say the gameplay is gritty and bloody than Source version of Counterstrike. Meanwhile, the Source version of Counterstrike is fast-paced, physics based and more casual than 1.6. But to be honest, both are great but I am more inclined to waste time in Counterstrike 1.6 because nostalgia purposes. But if I want to play casual shooter and enjoy physics based Counterstrike, then the Source version would be played. Also, communities in 1.6 are a bit active than the Source one (the multiplayer servers in Counterstrike Source has a lot of "Russian" scam servers compared to 1.6. By this point, I would consider both 1.6 and Source version of Counterstrike "classics" of its genre.
unironically the original xbox counter strike is my favourite cs, was one of the first games i remember playing
For crazy gamemodes we got garrys mod. When we open counter stike 99% want to play counter strike. Cs Source feels more like half life with cs skins, and 1.6 was different even if it born how a hf mod
love that you had gesaffelstein randomly playing lol
Played a lot of 1.6 And Now came back to cs2. I think i disnt play much css becouse 1.6 surf just felt way better. Still think it was the best surf.
CS 1.6 for normal CS playing.
CSS for fun community server playing. I prefer the latter so for me CSS wins but of course to each their own
ok ur ytb chanel need more attention u got potential bud
I like 1.6 much more. paradoxically, the lighting in that game is just better, is possible to create proper contrast with pitch black areas of the map and light ones. and the crisp shadows on the viewmodels are to this day, super sexy. i loved playing classic zombie mode
CS source has the best ragdolls in the series
SMT 3 soundtrack in the background, based.
Counter-Strike Source and Counter-Strike 1.6's weapons work a bit differently. The bullets would sometimes go well above the target while crouching, not moving and taking all the time to aim and with CS-S you can make the crosshair as little as you wanted with commands, but that is not the case with Cs 1.6 which makes it harder to aim or learn to aim
comp = 1.6
fun, community = source
Well, for me CS 1.6 is Warcraft, de_dust2x2, 35 hp modded knife servers, and CSS was deathrun, all types of ze map and yeah respectivly the gmod-iness of the game. Yet still I enjoyed both as equal as my childhood ran even tho I played 1.6 when I was like 4 yo. (I never was a comp player and all of those cs 1.6 normal server tryhards felt not interesting for me)
Idk man, Source is just way smoother for me...
I prefer css simply because it’s not as competitive as the others. Cs 1.6 has been around for so long so the players are very good and take it very seriously and the same is true for cs2 it’s just too serious. Css is the middle ground of the two with it being not that competitive and easy to pick up and play. I also like how easy it is to mod css, I started out with 1.6 and modding it was very annoying because you actually had to replace files instead of just dragging and dropping.
I appreciate the Ratchet & Clank music
"some people unironicaly prefer csgo over cs2"
well excuuuuuuuuseee me for wanting my bullets to hit my enimes
For me i like CSS graphics. Favorite mode is Zombie Escape. CS1.6 have bad graphics but still i like it's Zombie Plague CSO mode. 😎
While half life run on cs 1.6 engine half life graphics never outdated
one of the reasons i play cs source is because its fun and casual. I got kinda bored with cs2 and i haven't played cs 1.6, but i will eventually.
Source had best mods and best community out of all valve games, yes even g mod. The sounds and physics was nice, throw some bhop with it and go crazy. I still jump into source every now and then for nostalgia, same as 1.6. But source is where my heart is at. Hopefully cs will live long and be healthy when they fix cheating nonsense. Nothing is more nostalgic than quake sounds in cs 1.6 and classic songs in servers.
This is the safest video ever lmao
css has the best physics that make it very realistic in it time
If want to play competitive: CS 1.6 and CS:GO
If want to have fun on random servers: CS 1.6 and CS:S and CZ
If want to have depression and psychotic episodes: CS2
source has such a fast game play style so I like that one more. less Jacky then 1.6
WHAT IF CS2 ADD DEATH ANIMATION LIKE CS1.6
If they do it like Left 4 dead zombie death animation+physics that'd be actually fire but I think CS2 is deviating to competitive-feel more than ever so I think that'd be unlikely
@@miyujishibakoya1939 that would be insane + i saw death animations already in cs2 leaks .. and i think that's for an operation or maybe hl3 ?
Promod should have been CSS much like Q4Max is what we think of as being Quake 4 retroactively.
Late CSS actually feels really good, however, the movement looks incredibly delayed. You almost need to shoot people preemptively and watch them walk into the shots to a degree which is not normal. GO was kinda like this, CS2 has somewhat corrected this, but in Source it’s absolutely awful. 1.6 feels massively more synched up with the player models.
another dezolanger
Source was my first CS game therefore it's objectively the best
i love cs 1.6 cuz when you throw a smoke grenade and the bots wont know you have a awp so that is my free kill
We don't have to argue guys, we all already know that Deleted Scenes is the best
CSGO is(was) the most competitive and balanced out of all CS
CSS has the most mods and community support
CS 1.6 is the best
CS CZ is the game that tried to appeal to the offline market
CS2 was the upgrade no one wanted
"Competitive" CS was the "meta" nobody wanted. Everyone who actually did eSports just made a private passworded scrim server or w/e in the earlier games
I played source in CAL and almost got to CPL I wouldn't say it wasn't competitive.
lets gooo bro is a tekken fan too
now start to do only cz content its my fav
cs source is the better one, people dont realize, afterall its a remake of it so they made it better and you were kind of biased on source and 1.6 taking 1.6's side more for big details
I grew up with CS:S and I think it's more iconic than CS 1.6. The only thing that's more Iconic in CS 1.6 is the cover art.
I get the point about csgo fixing many things with maps and what not, but movement in 1.6 is superior. It just felt right and still does. Idk what's up with it, not a dev so can't put it in proper lingo, but it just moves right, jumps nice just feel so so good. For me it's perfect movement for any action game, I think risk of rain 2 feels similar.
And for that reason alone I quit cs one it moved from 1.6
Great comparison, 1.6 just has it, it has that something. I tried source but it's terribly numb, and a perfect example that it's not enough to simply copy everything to a new engine and success is guaranteed.
The death animations of 1.6 is hilarious sadge it was replaced with ragdolls
Cs source is basically Cs 1.6 remake
with higher damage
true
Smash : CSS
Marry : 1.6
To be honest i was a source fan till today but as i give 1.6 a try i loved it more.
Counter strike is the GTA of FPS genre..
If you beat CS Source expert bots that literally have aimbot, you are the best CS player in general.
