When you say "Counter Strike", as opposed to "Counter Strike 1.6", do you mean Counterstrike Source?
Anyway. I play all three regularly. They all control quite a bit different from each other. 1.6 still has way more people playing it, and the hitboxes and ballistics model gives it a higher skill ceiling than either Source or GO. So, 1.6 is more competitive, but I have more fun playing Source or GO. The Source engine physics gives the guns a better sense of weight and power, and it's just more satisfying to shoot. Plus the modern graphics are a nice touch. I'd say, if you play CS Source, don't be too eager to jump on Global Offensive. Definitely worth picking up next time it's on sale for $10 or less, though. The new maps are really good, the graphical overhaul of the classic maps look great, and the Arms Race mode is decent fun, when you can get a server that's not empty and populated with bots (which is getting more and more rare, unfortunately).
