HeatoN: "CS:GO feels right"

10-8-2012 17:28

Emil "HeatoN" Christensen has blogged on fragbite.se, saying Counter-Strike: Global Offensive "feels like the right thing."

The retired, former professional player Emil "HeatoN" Christensen has blogged about the revival of Ninjas in Pyjamas following today's news about the organization's resurgence and the recruiting of a Counter-Strike: Global Offensive team.

Christensen writes that Counter-Strike: Global Offensive feels like the right thing now when tournament organizers have started weeding out Counter-Strike 1.6 and the player base diminishing.

The multiple CPL medalist continues to praise CS:GO, adding that the game, which will be released later this month, looks good and is starting to improve, encouraging people to give it a shot.

Speaking on the newly recruited team, Christensen explains how he was thrilled by the chemistry between the players when they had a barbeque get together at Christopher "GeT_RiGhT" Alesund's place.

"Their chemistry coupled with the enormous talent and motivation in them makes me confident that they'll be one of the absolute best Counter-Strike: Global Offensive teams," Christensen noted.

Because 1.6 and source are effectively dead? CS:go may not have as great gameplay as 1.6 (and even source tbh) but it has way more potential to be a popular game that event organizers will want to use.

2012-08-10 21:34

Maybe.. so what? It's a whole other game, and has nothing to do with the community. The 1.6 community is not like anything else. For instance CoD, Battlefield and RTS gamers who change between games as it's a blondie downtown. The most similar community would be the Quake community. If everything fails why CS:GO? There are (atm) much much better games out there to play competitive, so why choose a game just because it also has Counter-Strike in it's name? And ofc it's still too soon to say, but if it keeps being the CS:S style maps, the same terrible recoil and "dynamic" movement, this is going to be a huge disaster for sure. As always, this community is not about graphics or modern gameplay. This community is about skill, flow, simplistic yet extremely sophisticated gameplay and everything in between.

Okay? Except that he's creating the CGS effect, as well as Valve. HeatoN is not thinking long-term value here, he's thinking quick money.. CS:GO game play is absolutely awful, it sure looks pretty, but the game play is terrible. If it suffers similar fate as CS:S, then there will not be a long-term gain of revenue from this. The people who live in the 'fantasy' world, are people who think that jumping ship to a new game will allow these players to live that "Pro Gamer" lifestyle. Valve has already shown they have no interest in the players with what they want, so people shouldn't just be 'moving on to what's next' they should be stopping playing Valve games all together. "If you can't beat them, join them" is an absolutely foolish logic to have with CS:GO and gaming in general. Above all, these games need to be made for the gamers, not for the sponsors and for the money in the pocket of the companies. Of course the pro players will move on to CS:GO, similar to how players moved on to CGS. But what does it do long-term? It hurts both games. If CS:GO isn't wildly successful, it will cause damage to CS1.6 as well as CS:GO, as well as CS:S - not just one game. Does Valve care about that? Hell no. This will be similar to Diablo 3's release - Blizzard already has so much money coming from SC2/WoW that they don't care how much garbage a game they produce is, they care about $$$$$. They're getting their money with D3 regardless of poor quality - and Valve will be doing the same with CS:GO. The only people to blame will be the players who just suck it up and take it, rather than recognize that it's foolish to keep on with a company who has vested interests. A company who cares not about quality of play, but simply how much money they will rake in. If you want to make money in the short-term, switching to CS:GO is the smartest decision over 1.6 - but this is just going to create another divide in an already chaotic system for Counter-Strike. Just a brief 2 cents, there's so much more I can say but it's pointless. CS 1.6 tournaments aren't exciting anymore because these guys just don't have the passion they used to. When you're playing for small amounts of money, these guys just aren't going at it as hard as they used to. And even if the biggest names ever in CS1.6 move on to CS:GO, the game play is still lackluster at the very best.

I'm actually incredibly optimistic about the future of e-sports and FPS as well. I agree completely with the sentiment that "Out with the old, in the with the new" needs to take place with 1.6, but embracing a "new" that is a game in a state like CS:GO is worse than just holding on to CS1.6.

2012-08-11 09:22

Oh please, you go on a rant on how valve is shit and GO will follow the same path as Source yet you post no own solution to the problem. Have you even tried CS:GO since the major update came out a few hours ago? I personally think it's really good, not only that but I think it's fun to play. You (and the majority of the hltv.org community) seem to think that the only way a new cs can be considered a success is if it's an exact replica of 1.6 but with updated graphics. If they make even the slightest deviation from 1.6 then it's a worthless game and it will fail horribly. Valve isn't making CS:GO for the sole purpose of pleasing the 1.6 community. If valve decides to put something into CS:GO that is different from 1.6 this doesn't mean that they're a money hungry corporation that doesn't give a fuck about what the players think of the game. Do you see what I'm saying? 1.6 is not the standard around which every new Counter Strike game should be created.

They haven't made a slight deviation, and CS 1.6 is probably the hardest CS ever created, probably the most difficult overall too, by the way, they made a huge deviation, walk up from ct base, can't see see poeple on cat, get headshot by a guy who you only see the tip of his head of, sounds like a small deviation? no. Also, the 'cs 1.6 standard' is not still there to an extent but if you want something easier maybe you should quit CS 1.6 or CS alltogether and start playing cod on the xbox like every other kid. ty

I don't know why I have to keep telling people this because it's so obvious, Valve isn't creating GO only for the 1.6 community. They have to also take input from Source players, and even players who are new to Counter Strike. Allthough I don't like all of the changes to the maps I do like the fact that they changed them. The map pool in 1.6 has seen very little change over the years. When they decided to add maps like tuscan, mirage and forge to the pool many pros welcomed the change (allthough the hltv.org community hated it as it does with any changes to anything). Changing the maps lets people come up with new exciting strats, because let's face it, coming up with something completely new and game breaking on dust2 in 1.6 isn't gonna happen. And no, I don't want something easier. In fact I like to think I'm pretty good at 1.6, most of my current gaming gear has been won through 1.6. I think CS:GO is fun and I look forward to winning my next set of gear in that game :) PS your profile says you're 15, so who's the kid now?

2012-08-11 17:05

You are correct in the assertion that I don't post a solution to the problem. The reason I don't, is because there have been countless articles and write-ups of great suggestions/improvements to the game, that my echoing them in a random post about HeatoN reforming NiP would be as close to useless as possible. I see what you're saying, but you're also putting words in my mouth. So it's very difficult for me to even consider creating a reply for you. Valve is a money hungry corporation? Do you need proof as to why? They're a corporation, there, your proof. "Do you see what I'm saying? 1.6 is not the standard around which every new Counter Strike game should be created." Well, it kind of is. Seeing as CZ, Source, and now CS:GO have been created around 'improving' CS1.6, not starting over and making a whole new game type. I have played CS:GO since the update, and no, I do not find it very fun. And outside of graphically, I don't find the game 'really good' but luckily that is entirely up to an opinion. I'm the type of person to hang on to something for the sake of nostalgia, 1.6 has seen it's last breath. But at the same time, that doesn't mean just because "Out with the old, in with the new" needs to be applied, that the "new" should just be played regardless of the quality. CS:GO in it's current state, in my opinion, is not fun, it's not enjoyable to watch, and the game play could use a lot of work. It has a ton of potential, but so did the other 'expansions' of Counter-Strike. I am in no way saying that a game has to be a clone of 1.6 with better graphics in order to be a success. I am only saying that this current version of CS:GO we have is not going to cut it. People using tired apples and oranges arguments are silly, of course pro players are going to switch to it - the money will now be in CS:GO. That doesn't make it a better game. And people comparing it to LoL or SC2 - is even more illogical. CS even back in it's prime was never able to be a spectator e-sport like Starcraft is, because SC is (mostly) played 1v1, so it's incredibly fun for spectators because you can watch everything that's happening. I don't care if there is a new version of CS, I'm not some nostalgic baby who's afraid of change. I only care that the new version being given to us is lackluster and that it seemed to create an even bigger divide in an already dying community. I would delve further into this discussion with you, but almost your entire post is making assumptions about me, or putting words in my mouth, so I don't see the point in a much lengthier post, as you will likely skim over it and just tell me what you think I meant. I hope you can understand what I meant.

They don't need to pay players or event organisers to promote their product. That isn't the way it goes. People say Source wasn't as good as CS1.6 but it still sold over 25 million copies. There have been games that were a hit and a flop but no company ever pays players to promote their game because they know eventually there will new upcoming professionals in the game. CS:GO will create its own competitive scene and bring up new players. People will eventually switch to CS:GO sooner or later.

I don't think Valve paid HeatoN to say anything about CS:GO (especially if you actually read his entire comment) but it's pretty ignorant to assume that there is no reason they wouldn't. If a community full of people expected it to fail, what better way to help out the reputation than have one of the biggest names in that game say something nice about it? Just playing devil's advocate, as I think HeatoN is more than correct in his opinion.

That does not make sense, CS1.6 is no longer marketable to leagues/sponsors/teams which is why the community (or the smarter part of it) are doing the next logical thing in migrating to a new game that will hopefully breathe new life into CS and the FPS genre as an e-sport because right now it's ALL LoL and StarCraft 2 and we (the FPS community) need something to go alongside LoL and SC2.

leagues/sponsors are making the community (or the stupid part of it) switch to a game that brings them more profit. and they achieve that also by promoting the game through famous people - in this case heaton. and thats why heaton is a sellout because he speaks in the name of company interests.

"company interests." What company? I don't see any company paying Heaton to say this stuff, It looks like he really believes that CS:GO has a solid chance at becoming a good FPS title within e-sports and this is shown further with his revival of NiP and in case you see something I don't there are no sponsors backing NiP yet so what (financially) would he gave to gain from endorsing CS:GO?

To be honest I think they might pick some of the CSP dev team up to make CSP into CS2 or something of the likes. it's just my opinion but it makes some form of sense I guess.

why do all of you bullshit about cs:go if u haven't even tried it yet?.. Just because lurppis thinks that csp is better all of u shouldn't. He says he also works with them and he also probably got paid to say that csp is better then cs:go.. Don't follow anyone elses opinion, have one of ur own.

true, but it's dieing more and more untill complete extinction.All the pros are gone and so does a little part of the community go with them. And for me personally and some others enjoy watching someone playing it rather then themselves playing it, but how can we do it without any pros to watch, those big names like gtr,f0rest,xizt are gone and so shall other pros continue. Now that there are less tournaments, the bigger companies like SK and fnatic will shut down their divisions because why should they just pay the players untill they can't repay them with winnning tournaments? edit: forgot that sk already did release their cs division lol cs 1.6 had it's time. 12 years are simply enough, it's time for something new and fresh

ofc the gameplay will be different, it's a new game, you can't expect it to be exactly like cs1.6 and it SHOULD NOT. You can't expect to like a new game just like that.Play it some time, give it a chance and then judge it. But w/e it's all down to personal preference. Imo csp is only a graphical improvement not more

Well, I don't see many people happy with f0rest, Get_RiGhT and Xizt switching to CS:GO. And don't you get my point? Valve developed both CS1.6 and CS:GO. So why would they ever want to shit on CS1.6 by bringing out CS:GO? And about paying to event organisers for including their game title- They go with the game title with could involve more spectators and the gamers playing that game. Let's say, Valve paid them to include CS:GO, it doesn't attract many spectators and teams to take the event on with, so where does that leave them? The obviously want to include a game which is popular among the masses. They can't afford to incur such a big loss. And you are being plain dumb when you say Valve pays events players/organisers for game promotion. Read this article first and then reply. hltv.org/news/8723-carmac-no-csgo-as-mai..

But there's a difference: They all started playing CS 1.6 (or a previous version of CS) as unpaid "no-names" and at the beginning (!) they only played it because they enjoyed it. A lot of them switch to CS:GO now because that's where the money goes. These are two different motivations to pick up a game. Just saying.

Been playing CS 1.6 since 2001 or something, a big fan of it, but yes, I do see a lot of potention on the international level in CS:GO and it will be one of the most known and playeable games in the future once they fix all the bugs, recoils and so on and so forth to make it as close as possible to what we used to have in CS 1.6...I already purchased it myself and I am sure thsoe who are still acting dumb saying this game is another CS:Source cartoon will also change their minds if not now, but a little later and what's more importantly is that they will like the game afterwords... I doubt there will be something like CS 2.0 created, at least, it's not gonna happen in near future, as some of the players think, so in stead of waiting for something that's not even planned to be produced, just give it a shot in CS:GO...

You need to buy the game in order to play it. Either you have a beta key and you can try the game for free (until the full game comes out) or you can pre-order it (buy it but saving a 10% on the original price). See, hltv.org/news/8899-csgo-pre-ordering-now.. The full game will be released officially on the 21st but if you pre-order it you will be able to participate meanwhile in the beta from the 14th onward until the full game is released (which by pre-ordering it you already paid for thus no need to pay anything again).

heaton is correct. csgo feels very right and is the only chance for cs to still be a competitive game on tournaments nowdays. of course it doesnt feel 100% like cs 1.6 because its a different engine but just look at sc2 and dota 2, they dont feel 100% the same as sc and wc3 dota aswell, because its a different engine. but the community can go along with it and look, those games are now more famous than EVER before :) esport became very big the last 2 years and a new counter strike title is the only chance to not lose the line now. otherwise there will only be arts/rts game left in the future. get open minded guys, deal with it and play csgo for a few weeks until you get good at the game and see its fun. just like the professionals do, if you get used to it then its a good game. valve is updating it by time and works hard on the game to make it successfull and fit to the community, they are doing a good job. you guys are yelling like old pensioneers "blabla in the past everything was better blablabla" wow guys its 2012, move on. play csgo or have fun on empty or bot servers in 1.6 we need a new cs now, or cs will be dead forever and overtaken by all the arts/rts titles in esport. let the new era begin

then i dont know why everyone is flaming csgo and act like old pensioneers, when they dont care about competitive and play cs for fun, then they should stick with 1.6 ;) for me cs is an esport title, so i want it all. live streams from tournaments with great casters etc. and that is what goes to csgo in the future. imo 1.6 will be the best cs ever created but its time to move on now, otherwise the name "counter strike" will crumble into dust very soon :(

you feel like that because two different engines can't produce the same gameplay. That's what happens with CS right now. 1.6 is on GoldSrc engine and GO is on source engine 2 or whatever it is called. Every engine has its own advantages.

2012-08-11 11:24

I lol'd @ sc2 has the same feel of sc:bw. Yeah right, it's only 10x harder for no reason (and the pro players say you need to practice sc2 3-4 hours a day, while sc:bw players had contract with organization to practice 8 hours a day every day, at least). Also, SC2 is far more random than sc:bw. Dota2, on the other hand, is the perfect example of developers listening to the community and making a game with competitivness in mind. It is everything that DotA is except better. All the engine limitations are fixed... Not to mention that creating completely new hero in DotA, from scracth whose model isn't in WC3:TFT (Ancient Apparation) broke the WC3 limit of mapsize, but soon Blizzard rised the cap from 4MB to 8MB per map, but still DotA map is still capped almost at maximum. Even the custom loading screen takes 2MBs which is 25% of maximum mapsize. In terms of skill DOTA2 and DotA+WarKeys require the same skill. The only difference is that DOTA2 is clearer (which might or might not make it slightly easier, but still it is a good change ofc).

Lol that was told to them by the community, the AK recoil, the fact that they are going to include the DoTA2 spectate mode, OH WAIT BASED ON COMMUNITY FEEDBACK, oh hang on extra gameplay additions, extra spectate modes like 1v1 split screen mode. You are a writer on this site are you not? And you are slamming Valve for not listening when 75% of the updates are based primarily on beta testing and feedback given to them, why do you think they have people like Volcano and J3di salaried for them to help develop this feedback. Oh if you don't know who J3di is, he was a person who developed zBlock for Source which single handedly kept Source a competitive title, he also has in depth knowledge of the Source engine. You carry on rounding up these sheep to say the same thing about how Valve don't listen to the community feedback. Do you not realise its in their best interests to listen?

the fact that they are going to include the DoTA2 spectate mode, OH WAIT BASED ON COMMUNITY FEEDBACK, oh hang on extra gameplay additions, extra spectate modes like 1v1 split screen mode. That was always the plan, if you listen the first interviews months before the beta came out, Chet said that they would port the spectator mode from Dota 2, again, it wasn't something that the community requested in the first place. Remember the awesome "The science of fog" blog, supposedly explaining the necessity of the crazy amounts of fog? It was nothing more than valve inventing some excuse so they wouldn't have to work on some other way to optimize the maps for the consoles. I never said that they aren't listening to the feedback, they simply weren't listening until a few months ago. Their plan was to release another mediocre CS, but what they weren't expecting was that the announcement of CS:GO would kill the CS, CS:S scenes. Their PR talk "We'll release it when the community say it's ready, it might take a 1 month or 2 years" and announcing a release date a couple of months later might have been the final blow to lose the trust with the community. Now it might be a bit late to release the game the community wants, valve only has one more update, maybe two, before they release the full game, and if by then it's not good enough for the pro gaming scene it will just kill the scene, no doubt.

Right I see fair enough, you got me on the spectate mode, didn't really get into the other points I raised (AK recoil etc). You talk about the fog, yet they understand the difficulty it actually caused based on what the community feedback, hence why we have competitive maps which remove the fog and useless junk. Yes they PR talked about releasing the game when it's ready but then it's 'Valve time' and I just feel they won't release it on aug 21st, I could be wrong though. The scenes were already dead before CS:GO, if a new CS title wasn't round the corner I still think IEM and the rest would have dropped 1.6, the game was shrinking by size etc. I also still believe CS:GO is the 'transition CS' at present but i do want people to move over to show that CS is worth giving a shit about. What we are lucky with is with a determined community, we can get changes done, and as I said with people like j3di helping Valve we can get the game in a good competitive state.

2012-08-11 02:43

Look, you're right in your sentiment, but it's not entirely accurate. Yes, a new era of CS needs to begin - 1.6 is living it's last breath. But all the hyperbolic nostalgic players aren't the people to listen to. We do need a new CS, but a terrible one isn't what we need. We as players shouldn't move on to a new game just for the sake of it being a new game. We should move on because of quality. If we're not given quality, then we should be moving on to something else. Not just following the herd because it's "the best we've got" You can't compare RTS/MOBA games to FPS games. DoTA2 feeling different compared to WC3 DoTA is so astronomically different than how CS:GO feels compared to CS1.6 I don't care about ushering in a new game - but don't insult the players by putting it under the guise of "Counter-Strike." The thing that really makes this a "new era" of CS is that so many people are just willing to bend over and take it because it's what we're being offered. GTR/f0rest/other pro's who are moving on to CS:GO aren't doing it for the game play. They're doing it for the money. Seeing as the drastic majority of all players will not be doing it for that same reason, the only reason you should be moving on is for enjoyment. If you're a fan of CS:GO, great, play that. If you're a fan of CS1.6, then you should play that instead. But people need to stop acting like we're going to see another heyday of CS where the competition looks like it did a few years ago, just because they're bringing in CS:GO.

BLA BLA BLA, idiots spamming cs:go threads with "waaaaa we don't want any change, we want to stick with 1.6, cry cry" Guess what! you don't HAVE to change to GO. I will because I really enjoy it but no one is forcing you to do shit. Many people are going to like GO and it will be a successful game, not as successful as 1.6 but more successful than source. If you have a genuine problem with the game then stop being a 12 year old and bitching over forums and tell Valve. THE GAME IS IN BETA. 1.6 will die soon enough and one day you guys will have to try the game, just because you can't instantly get a +3 KD ratio doesn't mean you shouldn't persist, how many of you didn't like 1.6 when 1.5 was out? Everyone's entitled to their own opinion, but this is just silly...every cs:go thread I have seen, you childish players have to state your meaningless hatred. Grow up, counter strike is meant to be for a more mature community. (not mad by the way, just thought I should have my say)

you compare the transision of 1.5 -> 1.6 with 1.6->cs:go? A game that was the main fps for 10 years now gets a sequel which doesn't resemble the original at all (gameplay wise).and the community who waited for a game worthy to replace cs for so long got dissapointed the 2nd time (css 1st,csgo 2nd) and you expect the older players to smile and be satisfied? the players who are willing to play csgo are mostly <18 years old,so calling the others childish is ridiculous. Valve checks hltv so they'll probably see all those posts.

"and you expect the older players to smile and be satisfied?" point proven by nip XD and if valve read the posts on this site, theyd probably stop 1.6 and commit mass genocide with the amount of suicides connected to it

2012-08-10 18:00

You 1.6'ers have no brain what so ever, how can you presume that he is payed to say that, he can't have a personal opinion on this matter ? Like someone else said in this newspost, everyone is going to play whatever he wants and likes nobody is enforcing you to play go, its just the new thing the new hype but tbh the 1.6 community alwasy lacked proper IQ so i dont even expect you to understand this shit.

2012-08-10 18:01

so he knows how csgo will look like at tha end of tha month

The ONLY thing we can do to still have CS as an e-sport is to support CS:GO. (we can't rely on CSP) They are updating the game all the time. Evry time i open CS:GO there have been some new changes to ether the recoil, Movment whatever. It's actully geting good. Insted of flameing.. why not give it a shot? You have NOTHING to lose.

the first versions of cs actually evolved with every version,in a good way, so you would expect css/csgo to be a step forward and they are NOT.

I am personally open for some fresh air in cs but csgo feels like a different game :/ it's not the weapon/model names and same maps that make it counter strike it's the gameplay. And it is possible even if it's on a source engine,the csp devs proved that you can make the gamplay more 1.6 -like...

Bunch of clowns on this website. He's not saying the gameplay feels good or anything like that. He's saying it feels right to move on from 1.6 and source (they're dead, get over it), and to all move to a new game to bring back CS as the #1 esports title. CS becoming popular again can never be done with 1.6 and source. If you still think we should hang on to 1.6, you're an idiot.

Well how can it be right to move on to a game which you don't think is fun to play? Either he knows some secret settings that makes the game much more playable or he is just so confident that the game will improve big time for the better.

If you (or anyone else) don't think it's fun, fair enough. You can stay with 1.6 or quit forever. No one is making you play csgo but if you want to move CS forward as an e-sports title, trying to clutch onto 1.6/source is not the thing to do and is only hurting competitive CS as a whole. So anyone who is ignorant and says "No, let's stay with 1.6" or "1.6 forever!!" is just silly. Competitive 1.6 and source are finished. I'm speaking purely from a competition view, though. If you're a casual player who just wants to have a little fun and doesn't care about the competition, then play what you want :)

CS for me is the awesome gameplay. If it doesn't have that then i don't care if its called CS or whatever. Sure i want CS to move forward but I want it to be an improvement not a downgrade. I'm just criticizing the whole developement of CS:GO as it has been so far.

2012-08-11 01:19

bunch of clowns, lol! u r a joke. csgo is for casual player. and thats why so many pros didnt want to swtch to csgo and criticize on csgo so hard previously. they got f0rest, gtr and even xizt, then u r saying 1.6 is dead. thats funny. remember most 1.6 pros still stay on cs1.6, they and many sponsors are still waiting to see the real final csgo. you seem like more diligent than the valve advertising team for supporting csgo. u dont understand what is competitive. competitive gaming is first about the gameplay itself.

You're a clown. Enjoy your dead 1.6. At least there will always be the public servers for you to play in. ;)

CSGO "has" now 3 of your best players, the polish golden five is considering the move towards this newer game (especially neo, loord and taz, who have been playing a lot of csgo lately), the entire american scene has already switched (over 150teams at the eswc qualifiers with names like frod, nothing, storm, pauly, swag, etc), fnatic players will probs switch too after the last dreamhack. The only team that have said some negative things towards global offensive is na'vi, and i think some of them will switch to csgo, and some will quit cs.

LOL. ANY GAME will replace 1.6 ...

2012-08-10 22:08

ah, Heaton, that guy who fucked up all the streams at Copenhagen Games (or whatever tournament it was), I see... Surprised he didn't say cs:go is more tactical. P.S. So many cs:go defenders these days just prove the fact that valve got it absolutely right - for the biggest part of the community (kids mostly) advertising is everything, they play games because it's "cool" to play a specific game at this very moment, not because they really like it more than others of that type, and when it becomes "not cool" they easily switch to a new one kindly brought to them by the developer. That how the market works, nothing more to say.

No, the csgo "supporters" realize 1.6 and source are finished. They want to continue to see CS, even if it will never be as good as 1.6, as a top e-sports title because competing is a lot of fun. The lack of sponsors/tournaments/competition in 1.6/source have made it less fun to compete.

I didn't recive a beta key so i haven't played the game but from watching footage of the game I don't think it feels right. 1st of all I just hate the graphics in the game.Everything looks plasticky and rather odd.There is a lot of unnecessary thing that can distract you while playing. The animations look horrible as far as kills are concerned and that blur on the AWP is just awful. The sounds of the m4 and the ak are just horrendous.They sound like toys instead of guns(don't know how did the update effect that). Profesional CS:S is long dead and 1.6 will follow soon but I don't think CS:GO(with no major changes) will be the next great CS game. CSP isn't bad but it has been in the making for too long.But still I think it has a shot especially if they do manage to do that texture updates and death cam animations right. If CS:GO turns out to be a bad game and CSP fails I'll rather switch to LoL(or maybe DoTA2 if I'll like it) than support a shitty CS game

2012-08-11 20:22

"Why are some of you so dumb? Yeah i also love 1.6 .. i played it for 12 years. Besides I HATED source... But after that update it's a really playable game! Everybody who is saying "lololol random recoil" played it for 1-2 hours. You wanna say me that you learned 1.6 in 2 hours? I dont think so. You need time to arrange yourself with the new recoil. But hey... it's easier to say "lol, shit game, recoils i random"... Idiots. Cs is dying and im not happy about that (instead i am really sad about that..). ESL cuts the CS AND CSS EPS, fnatic,mouz,sk and other teams are retiering... So yeah.. you wanna say cs 1.6 is alive? Hold your illusions.. They want to reunite the 2 communities. CS:GO have the requirements to make this reunion possible. You wanna know why its possible? - official support from valve - many progamers are supporting CS:Go - better netcode - Casualmode und ELO-Matchmaking - Steam Workshop for CS:GO - cheap price and so on. I don't want to describe every point. Go get some informations! And please... stop that dumb ass populisitc crying... And thats why i don't understand some "LOLOLOLOL CS 1.6 FOREVER" - Faggots. I mean... It's our LAST chance for the FPS-section. Games like SC2 or LoL are watched by so many people and sponsors are supporting those games. They eliminate the shooter section. Thats why i have to ask: are u serious? Is this your biggest problem? Freting about cs 1.6 which is dying? Poor community. Wake up! Just my 2 cents.

feels my ass right, played it 5 hours on DM and it feel like shit. Recoil is fucked up, movement is 0. Game itself isn't suitable to be named counter strike.
