or some random Yuri from Russia :]
Irc u said .. "lets all play source" .. drinn said .. "lets play 1.6", what has SK to do with it ? :] To much of xmas ale mate
Personally I don't hate Source, but I also don't think that Source is the future :)
Matter of taste rly :D Nothing to fight about :]
But yeh source is still shit, CGS was a horrid display of CS. I was at a friends for xmas and they saw the advertisement for the CGS and 4 people started laughing and said that the show looks worse than robot wars, they had a point.
Lets all go play 1.6 until they manage to improve on 1.6.
but therefor the didnt used the CZ Maps which are quite ugly,they just using the original Maps with CZ Models.
So either people are quite stupid if they would buy this or they have to much money,since you can play 1.6 with CZ Models since 2003 when CZ was released.
Games the world dont need -.-
This seems nice, but it ain't the CS which I like. 1.6 ftw.
but its fun for the asians to play
and the one who played in that vid is newbie ;)
Counter-Strike:Rofl
:DD
btw. Why is Valve producing a game like CS:Online for Asia but no real follower of CS for EU and US?!
Maybe its because I'm all about 1.6, though I do miss good ol' WON system...
Ah where's 1.3 where you could jump all around with a usp and spray like hell.
