I suggest you get both, They both have their ups and downs but just make sure you have a decent gfx card so source can run smoothly
if your new to counter strike just get source its a lot easier for new people and such and plus theres a lot more out there for the game and the graphics are really good to.
I like you (original poster) used to play 1.3 etc then gave up, when I came back into counterstrike I decided to try cs:source mainly because it was on offer I think. I was amazed, the graphics and gameplay are so much better. I hardly even realised they were the same maps, I thought they had done an absolutely brilliant job on it. I don't know what people are talking about when they say source doesn't have as good spirit as 1.3, I think this is compete rubbish. After playing source for a while I had a quick go on 1.3 and I couldnt do it because it was so rubbish. So my afvice deffinitely go for source.
Source blows, unlike 1.6, source seems slow paced and boring. And with 1.6 it's MORE of a challange, even the ---'s say 1.6 is still better.
there are some great mods for CSS, zombie rocks but surf is just amazing, if u try and need lessons I'm the one to ask
I liked CSS more then CS 1.6, couldn't help it. I had a diffrent feeling from it. Could have been that I was to used to the graphics of UT2004 that I didn't want to play 1.6 anymore.
nah i got it and i dont play it :S wasted $40 AUS bucks source has better gfx but it doesnt have that same speed and gameplay as 1.6 1.6 has that... shooting thru walls thing which i love but source doesnt == even if its only a .0001 mm thick paper, u cant shoot thru it ==
Hmm, well you can shoot through walls on source, I know I do it all the time. Plus why does this topic keep getting resurrected lol
CSS is only good for when you're getting bored with the actual good fps's out there. Toe shot kills are always amusing.
both have their advantages and disadvantages play source if you like realism (not really, but more real than 1.6)
