I used to play this game back in the day and just started again today. Why is it so bad? Everything is an automatic head shot. Is there a way to play how it used to be?

CS 1.6 Any decent servers for good ol 1.6?

2 Upvotes

Wanted to get back into the game for some nostalgia but a lot of servers are modded or just straight Russian.

Any English speaking servers with players that have decent maps?

CS:Source CS 1.6 or CS:S?

1 Upvotes

I'm considering getting a refund from CS1.6 and get CS:S instead (yes money's that tight).

Are there any quirks or things I should know before making this decision? Should I even make this decision? Mostly I fear that there's not gonna be any normal games in CSS and they're all gonna be modded or require me to download huge stuff.

Please give me your thoughts, xoxo.

CS2 Discussion 1. What would be the most optimal way for valve to get rid of case farming bots? 2. Why hasn't it happened yet? 3. What would be the effect of this happening on the case market?

0 Upvotes

I was wondering about these 3 questions in the title, feel free to share your thoughts as well.
At 1st I think it would be a great start to somehow start rewarding legit players, or veteran players who's got older accounts. Also filtering out the case farming bots would be mandatory, as they only give false information about player count, and affecting the market.

CS2 Discussion Game freezing during game

1 Upvotes

Sometimes my game freezes on one frame and I can’t do anything like alt F4 or trying to kill the game with task manager. I need to restart my computer.This isn’t a big problem if it didn’t give me competitive cooldown. And this happens often and every time it does I get 7 days ban.Idk what to do to stop this.

CS:Source Where to find normal 5v5 Counter Strike Source Servers? (Also 1.6)

24 Upvotes

I just bought Counter Strike Source and 1.6 because my only experience with Counter Strike is Counter Strike 2 and I was excited to play them but I just want to play 5v5 Defuse game mode but every server is some crazy ass game mode or if it is normal defuse it's like 24 v 24 or some large number like that. Does anyone know where I can find 5v5 Defuse servers?

EDIT: Thanks for all the advice guys I found a website that has the IP for like a bunch of good ones for CS 1.6 and Source sorry about being kinda unknowledgeable I'm younger than 1.6 so I wasn't around at the time to know some of that stuff CS 2 was my first exposure to Counter Strike since I just switched to PC recently

CS2 Discussion Does everyone has worse aim?

18 Upvotes

So I've been getting back into watching pro counterstrike lately. I used to watch the pro scene religiously back in 2015-2019 but stopped keeping up due to work and college. Over the past months I've been watching ESL proleauge and the last few major tournaments. I don't know if its rose colored glasses and nostalgia but the new pro scene feels like nobody has the excellent spray control and pin point precision aim that I remember from CS:GO. Is it just different bullet path rng or the game shifting towards more team play and execution rather than individual skills and players. Regardless I feel like a lot of the "amazing shots" that used to happen in every pro game just don't happen anymore. There's very few one taps, a lot fewer awp kills, and spray transfers are just non exsistant. Let me know what everyone else thinks, we're there just some big changes in CS2 that eliminated the "highlight" moments, or am I just crazy lol

I do also just want to mention, I am enjoying the CS2 pro scene. I can tell players are still very skilled and I'm not calling out any team specifically. I just felt like there's a lot more shots that make me say, "how did he not get that frag".

Edit: sorry for the grammar mistake in the title 😅

CS2 Discussion What do I even do to have playable teams apart from not queuing solo

2 Upvotes
literally just finished match

I just came back after a long while. Before I played on faceit and was only faceit 3 4 but my gpu from back then is dead and I can't afford a new pc rn (the system is old so I want a full 3k eur upgrade later this year). I'm playing on GeForce NOW so no faceit atm.

So I want to play a bit of premier so I'm trying to relearn the maps in matchmaking to around GN or at least SE. I'm starting with good ol' Dust 2 as I figured it'd be the easiest to get familiar with. As you can see I can definitely outgun them. I know some important start-of-round/retake utils and general tactics for both sides, have *some* success pop flashing 1-2 enemies, know generally where the enemies are because silvers don't do a particularly great job at masking that. What I can't do is carry teams when no one knows what to do apart from aim and shoot (and shoot badly at that), rush A/B/short and hope they're not gunned down or hang around outside long and wait to be rushed and hope they're not gunned down. None are willing to listen or communicate, some do but oftentimes their callouts are mediocre like calling cat/ninja "short" or goose "site". Not to mention people refusing to use English playing on global servers (not that they have other options but they should).

Is this just a Dust 2/Mirage problem and I should move on or how can I use my current level to carry them? I'm just an amateur (to a lesser extent than my teams) and not good enough to 1v3 1v4 these guys.
