Counter-Strike: Source

CS Source for me became the very first and full-fledged CS that I met and to which I got used.

At that time it was a real breakthrough - Contra on a new engine, with support for shaders, Ragdoll physics, and just ordinary physics. It was something.

KS pulled me into many hours of real time. Here you could find a server where after school you could go in and relax, chat with dudes, men about anything.. It’s not like now, if you’re not a student, it’s a biomass of sheer aggression.. Before, everything was simpler.. Ks on source, and the grass is greener.

CS:S is an online shooter designed for a large group! The game is suitable for online battles! You can play against bots, but it’s a bit boring!

PROS:

The Source engine at that time seemed like something new not only for this game, but compared to other games it was one of the most advanced engines. Everyone pooped at the physics, explosions, and lighting that appeared in the game thanks to this engine! The game is optimized! So it will work even on the weakest cars! It's nice to see old favorite cards in a new light - textures, objects, characters - everything is drawn in a new, but recognizable image!

CONS:

In my opinion, the game has a meager combat arsenal - I'm bored playing counter! The confrontation between terrorists and counters was probably interesting only when network shooters were… Read full

CS:S came out a few years after the release of CS 1.6, but did not find the popularity of its predecessor. Initially, players did not like the spray control system (it was really easy to control), the new graphics (which not all computers could handle) and the new maps, some of which were practically unrecognizable. The gameplay hasn’t changed much (of course, this is a shooter), but it has introduced some minor changes such as auto-purchasing ammo at the start of the round. The graphics, which many complained about, were pleasant for me and did not hurt my eyes like the same ladders in 1.6, and the multiplayer part of the game did not change, and rightly so.

Basically, this is still the same Couner-Strike 1.6 only with updated graphics and changed shooting physics, and also the presence o… Read full

When I was little, this version was the worst for me. In fact, only the engine changed, but at the same time the game completely changed, it did not bring the same cool emotions as cs 1.6 in its time or like CS:GO now. Almost everything in this game infuriates me: running, jumping, shooting, the behavior of weapons. Or this physics of interaction with objects, a bunch of unnecessary effects, everything was terrible, it was impossible to play. The only advantages I could include were the sounds of gunfire and more adequate players, because often it was played by guys much older than me when I tried to play it after 1.6. Afterwards, when I grew up and specifically switched to the resource, I was very drawn in by it, I got used to everything and I even liked it, it’s a pity that I realized th… Read full

It was like this. Back in 2011, I learned that there is not only CS 1.6. I was wondering how this version differs from the other? I went online and started looking for CSS. Downloaded it and configured it as needed. I don’t know why everyone says it’s bad, but I really liked this game. The graphics are top notch, the physics are perfect. This game really resonated with me, different modes, mods, different servers. I liked it so much that I decided to buy it, so to speak, to thank the developers for creating such a wonderful game. For me personally, the CSS version is better than CSGO. Everyone has their own taste. Well, all I have to say is that I advise you to play this game. I recommend!

What can I write here? A game for those who don’t like skins, but seriously, it’s a game in which there is an extremely friendly atmosphere, people are very sincere and just as respectable and friendly, and most importantly, cultural, when you enter this game you feel like you’re on a Connoisseurs show, oh no and this is not about her...

A childhood game, a game where everything is not as real as in 1.6, but nevertheless ;)

This is a legendary game, which has become one of the first games for many. It reeks of nostalgia, how you played the game for the first time, how you laughed, cried... The servers are still alive, and some have completely filled player slots on the weekend, which means that they remember it. If there is nothing to do, then go to any server and play, sometimes you may come across interesting interlocutors. Have a nice game.

Well, I’d be lying if I said that CSS wasn’t a game that almost completely repeated the success of 1.6 simply by changing the graphics. What can I say about this game: This is a classic 1.6 with modified graphics and a different engine, but God it’s gorgeous, I think this is a game that has changed practically nothing about itself but has become much better and more beautiful, the game sounds very nice, steps, shots, etc. etc., the controls are classic for the entire CS series. Multiplayer, about multiplayer I can only say that I’m just happy that the game is still alive and its community is not going to leave, there are enough servers (Sometimes, even more often they come across modifications, this does not affect the gameplay, well, only visually). I won’t say anything about the plot and… Read full

In my opinion, this is the best counter strike game. Physics, graphics HL2 and all that look very good in CS. The game is not very expensive, but most likely the players bypassed it because it is paid compared to the current KS2. It's definitely worth playing

In general, the series CS and Half Life are so interconnected that by the development of one we can judge what will happen to the other. But moving Contra to the new Source engine is more than a logical step in the development of the series. Of course, it was very sad to say goodbye to the beloved delights of the original, such as shooting and refills. But time must also be taken into account. The main thing is that the arsenal, cards and even your favorite heroes have not gone away. And yet this is the same “Contra”, albeit with updated graphics and physics, but it is still CS.
