CS: GO vs. CS: S

DivinityArcane · Sep 14th 2012, 7:09pm

Well, after trying CS: GO and CS: S on a friend's computer, I went with CS: S + GMod. While CS: GO is pretty nice, the guns just didn't feel right to me. The movement seemed smother, but it was also a bit odd. While people will still detest this, I still think it shares some aspects of COD now (which isn't that bad a thing, but I like traditional CS gameplay, and CS: S was closer to that [in my opinion.])

Thanks for the input guys.

No option for 1.6 though

DivinityArcane · Sep 15th 2012, 6:10am

Yeah, because it was just a decision between CS: S and CS: GO rather than all of them. CS: S is basically CS 1.6 redone, and it really holds to the 1.6 gameplay.

Hmmm...you mean smooth right? I guess it's because of your mouse?

DivinityArcane · Sep 15th 2012, 11:16pm

Yeah, sorry. And no, the movement in general was smoother. Walking in CS can sometimes be glitchy. Anyway, I really like CS: S. There's not a lot of difference from 1.6 and that's what I wanted.

I've never played CS

How bad of me is it that I've never played it? Although I've played a bit of TF2 and a fair amount of L4D2 I know it's not the same thing.

While I like CS:GO, I just like the feel of CS:S more to be honest.

Not bad, to be honest. A lot of people haven't. What they don't realize, is before MW3, we had CS. CS 1.6 really was the beast that brought popularity to the multiplayer FPS genre.

To be totally honest I thought BF2 was he FPS game everyone played back then.

I know CS is pretty big but is it bigger than BF2 in the PC only glory days?

karlsanada10 · Sep 16th 2012, 8:36am

It's the source of all FPS multiplayer game imo. It's been there since Half life one.

CS predates BF2 by roughly five years. When it comes to multiplayer FPS games, CS was a pioneer. Also, in CS, you can't win based on the weapon you choose. It's skill based. If you don't know how to play, you won't win.

Don't forget about Quake

I think that both CS:GO and CSS are equally fun. But if you want graphic quality, go with CS:GO

Haha yup. Unreal and Quake raised the bar for multiplayer FPS games. Man, all those servers.

Using AMD and ATi, and I have no real complaint, haven't really let me down. I just need a new case.

NVidia and Intel are a very good combination also, and they're being favored more because of PhysX (fuckin' borderlands 2, it looks SOOOOOOOO NICE.)

imo, I always thought AMD & ATi were efficiency while NVidia and Intel are pro-gaming. Or something like that.

what? Wrong thread!

GOD DAMNIT. i called lag then went blind. :x

DivinityArcane · Sep 17th 2012, 4:41am

Well, I actually had the option to work on Quake Live (Online) a while back. It's alright, pretty convenient for challenging friends on the fly. I still love Q3A the most out of the Quake series, next to Quake 2.

Lag is lulzy. I got flashbanged on CS: S and then lagged for four whole seconds. Oh the rape when I unlagged... I did get two headshots from a Clarion spray at the same time I died, though. Wish I still had dem skillz
