Wait, do only accounts, politicians, and lawyers play 1.6 then? That makes a lot of sense, Nexus.

Huh? Do mean in this particular game or in general. The game choice or even platform does evolve a lot, but why would it be dying in general.

I don't see competitive sports like football, bball, or for that matter sunday night bowling leagues in small town America dying off, so I don't see why competitive gaming would.

There will always be people who enjoy playing a formalized match versus people who just want to play casual, neither is better than the other as long as its fun to the player.

All halfway decent competitive teams only play 1.6

I don't think that's exactly true . . .

What are the best source teams? Cyberev, zomblerz, and x3o?

All good teams, but nothing compaired to some of the 1.6 teams out there.

I wouldn't say that:

Current Players:
18,951

Peak Today:
66,164

That's pretty much on par with the current CS:S numbers too.

ya traffic wise, cs 1.6 = css; couple months ago according to gametracker cs1.6 had a LOT more traffic.

Sigh :3

why all the hate against 1.6?

it was my first online multiplayer game and the one that taught me the basics of FPS and teamplay
and there really arnt that many exploits or glitches that wont get you banned from just about any decent server
without 1.6 there would be no CS:S and therefore no TTP, and none of us want that
humble beginnings people, humble beginnings

I really didn't see any hate against 1.6?

I must be looking at the wrong posts?

because competitive gaming is old and dying, just like 1.6.

becuase they can't game without taking advantages of the loopholes and shortcomings and exploits of a 15 year old engine.

competitive gaming.....

competitive anything isn't dying. it's changing, like always.

I for one have always enjoyed 1.6. I believe it to be a far more superior game in terms of skill than css and most other fps for that matter. I still play 1.6 every once in a while but because the spray patterns, spam spots, nades and hit boxes are so different I have a difficult time doing well in it.

I personally would have never left the game if my clan and friends did not move over to css. It is not only is the competitive gaming in 1.6 superior to css the average pubbie tends to also be a higher caliber player as well.

1.6 is old yes but it will be a long time before it is dethroned as the champion of fps. It is still one of the most played fps games out there if not #1. It has thousands upon thousands of active servers.
