Yea, I think Source is way better. I like 1.6 too, I have been playing 1.6 for a while but when I saw my bro playing source I had to get it. I couldnt at the time becuz my comp couldnt run it, so I didnt do the gay thing and say the game sucks just cuz I couldnt play it. I have it now and it rocks, I still enjoy 1.6 though.

I've got both on my steam account, gotta say that Counter-Strike: Source is way much better than 1.6 reason being that source is played by more people, the maps are more complex (especially the surfmaps [my fav]), and of course the graphics are ten times better. Oh and if ur a fpsbanana fan u would know that there is 8 times more custom skins for CS:S.

I use both as well, but honestly? I think source is by far better. It's got more skins, better graphics, a good number of players/servers and there aren't many HUGE adjustments from 1.6. Once I switched, it only took me about one hour to get used to it. Regarding the idea of buying the game all over again, well, isn't it like that with all games? When you saw CS 1.5, you knew there would be a 1.6, right? well there you go. Source is like "counter strike 2". There's always going to be a next version, that really should be obvious.

The idea is that Counter-Strike 1.6 is used at big competition like WCG and the best players in the world are playing Counter-Strike 1.6 . Counter-Strike Source will need a long time to rise at Counter-Strike 1.6 level even that it's better then him .

Well I like both games but if I still played CS I would probably keep playing 1.6 because of the nature of the game and the "just plain awesome game play"

But I don't play CS or CSS anymore, I play Team fortress 2 :-)

Cs: Source Vs Cs 1.6

Counter strike today has some pretty cool things. My favorite thing about source are the zombie mods. Normal counter strike source was fun, but there were to many hackers and people with no lives. Zombie servers are fun and heres a list why:

1) humans vs zombies (ct and t work together).
2) some servers have 1 stab kills meaning if your stabbed, you become a zombie and fight one.

3) respawning makes for no more of watching the people when you die.
4) some servers have unlimited ammo :D.
5) you build a cade out of machines, couches or anything to last until the round ends.
6) fun and creative maps are every where that were built for zombie mod alone.

7) zombies are tough (some with 5000 hp) so killing a zombie is a cratifying experience worth itself.

There are downsides to the zombie servers

1) not noobie friendly
2) killing a single zombie is tough but 10-13 is impossible if your alone.
3) some maps have really cheap spots making it impossible for zombies to kill them.

Its fun and worth a try.
