why no cs 1.6 and source ?? omfg

Time for the CS community to make that step to Global Offensive. It's a hard move but they better realise it fast cause it's shame for a great title like Counter Strike to get lost.

Bad day for Counter-Strike!

Electronic sports worst cup

delete cs:go idiots ...
Back CS 1.6 ! I play 8 years for nothing ..

IDIOTs

I'd like to weigh in. I think it's cool that there's StarCraft II and Dota 2, but other than that, there's not much else to show. I've been to ESWC and I know what it means to be a promotional title so when they say League of Legends will be one, that means they will have it in a little booth off in the corner, while the main titles take up the floor, which is wrong for a game of that caliber.

As for removing 1.6, I can shed some light from ESWC 2010. At that event, there was SK.CS, SK.CS-fe, SK.Quake, SK.Racing, as well as TheSlaSH, Merusame, reis and myself. We all had different interests in the competitions being shown then, but what I can say is that all of us had a mutual interest in 1.6, as it's been a cornerstone of esports for over a decade and you don't have to be a hardcore fan to appreciate it. Therefore, I can say that removing 1.6 and replacing it with GO is not a wise decision, as it's not the same as replacing DotA with Dota 2; they are different games with different priorities and mechanics. I just feel like ESWC is losing a big part of their tournament with this.

The sad fact:

WCG no CS
IEM no CS
E-star Seoul no CS
ESWC no CS..... :\

just lolling at the 1.6 players

cs > sex, so fucking back my 1.6 noaw!

:O bitchs

I will play 1.6 till the day I die, never gonna forget it. cmon best game ever...anyone remember that combo: joint + underground drum&bass + CS 1.6? one day I will tell my kids about that.

cs go = game and bussiness go to hell

CS 1.6 forever ... its very important in the game world

I will play 1.6 till the day I die, never gonna forget it. cmon best game ever...anyone remember that combo: joint + underground drum&bass + CS 1.6? one day I will tell my kids about that.

no 1.6 = no go

Actually, I've been playing GO since beta in 5v5's with my RL friends, and I see no reason at all why it shouldn't replace 1.6.
Don't get me wrong, I love 1.6 and CS in general, but we're in 2012 now. I've played cs since beta 5.2, and I can honestly say that me and my teammates love what they've done with GO so far. A little more tweaking, and it'll be a great tournament game, for sure.

We play extensively almost every day and got our own server etc, so I feel that I can comment on the game's state a little more accurately than those of you who haven't even tried it yet, and still scream "CS 1.6 FOR LIFE CSGO SUXXX !!11oneone!!"

It's already competition-ready and as with any other game, you have to play it for a little while and test it extensively before you can write it off as total garbage. Now, it was the same with the transition from 1.5 to 1.6 (For the small amount of you who were actually there to witness it, and didn't start playing CS during it's 1.6 stint.)
But after a short amount of time, people accepted it and adapted to it. This is the same thing happening again, and it's just natural progress. We can't be stuck in the game that came out in 2003. It's just silly.

In essence ; If it's a matter of pride or principles, get real. Try the game for a few weeks, LEARN it since it's a new game and not a 1.6 clone, and THEN make your opinion on it. If you hate it, cool. Stick with a dying 1.6. If you love it, well, you know where to find me =)

-Out

This is fucking wrong decision.
This is so fucking wrong,i cant believe that idiots removed 1.6 from their list.
Well this is embarrassing for every single 1.6 cs player.

They shouldnt forget why they are playing cs so good,who made them...

Wrong? Why ? It's natural progression. Besides, nobody has forgotten anything about what has been. I remember every event, every player and damn near every team that ever played cs, from my first time in beta 5.2 at my best friends loft.
I remember cs_oldschool and when the prison was a great map. I remember every patch that made me think "Ah, shit, they've changed / fixed . " and every little bump in the road.

If you wanna be stuck in 2003, go ahead. But don't expect the sponsors and the developers to sit idly by. Don't expect any developer to never create something new just because they made a hit in god knows when !

Before they made cs go,players were fine.No one said hey you make me cs GO,and the most players switched to cs go cus of money nothing else.That game is like COD so if they want to play cod download cod 4 or 6 etc dont play this shity game

Lol, you do realize that 1.6 is ALL about fast frag action aka CoD ? Just with that immature comment you came with, it's obvious you haven't played Cs:GO at all. Thanks.
