Another thing about the game, is the way your brain needs to function. This was easily one of the harder things to overcome. In 1.6, I excelled at being smart and innovative, which requires your brain to think of solutions as situations are presented to you. In source, you don't really need to use your 'brain' per-say, it's really a game made brain that if you just follow the way things are 'supposed' to be done, the 'appropriate' result will follow, which shows the need to not think as much, therefore being easier. In 1.6, every situation and every moment of the round (yea, there is so much more round time to make things happen its unreal), that your brain is forcing you to think a lot and process all the information presented to you. Thus, making 1.6 a lot harder and more challenging. And for me, thats really what I want, a challenge. So glad I feel like the underdog, it's my favorite place to be in gaming. :)

What he said is actually very true. CGS gameplay and source mechanics do take a lot of thinking out of the game, outsmarting your opponent really isn't an option.

source is a pathetic game meant for the kids who arent capable of playing good in 1.6 where the competition level is so high. in the end 1.6 will overcome the rush of source fans from the beggining.

#11 True, Source ain't that bad at all, It's still CS.

It's just not the same with CGS rules, It takes all the good stuff away, time and eco rounds.

I really enjoy CS1.6 spam spots too, which is missing in Source.

I think after one more CGS season and the contracts are up I think you can see a couple of the coL members come back. Storm likes being paid, so he will probably stick with Source. Warden and fRoD could come back and join an underrated team with unknowns.

Well, that is something that I already knew, along with many others. But I am very glad that Mr. fRoD said it because people will listen to him, he is an icon of the game. And one of the greatest talent's it will ever seen, if not the greatest talent it will ever see.

He needs to work on piecing together those sentences better though! haha, I am far from an english major but he writes a lil' funny. Good job though Mr. Montaner.

#26, if you watch how they play in 1.6 now their strats are so... dismal. Or non-existant, probably a better word for it. Everyone of those players can still outplay every player on any top roster right now in 1.6. They are all "legends" of this game. Give them time, if they really care about 1.6 then it wont take long.
