Which one is best. I played Counter Strike 1.6. Pretty descent game and after playing it for a year I switch to Counter Strike. They are almost same for me but the Counter Strike OB graphics is far more better than its predecessor. And I don't play the Global Offensive yet. So share your opinion about those game. If GO is better than I will pick that up too. :D

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).

I've played CS since it's first mod beta in 2000 or 99' (I forget), kid you not. CS GO for me restores the buzz and affection I used to have for CS. It's well made, feels right, nice aesthetics, and has tons of nice game modes. Demolition mode alone feels perfect to me, and is great for a bite size challenged based FPS romp, without the major downtime - and classic is still a hoot. Source was good for its time as a engine novelty and had a great mod scene, 1.6. will always be a classic. Just wish GO had a more active multiplayer scene, but that'll change in time just like the slow popularisation of Source.

On-Topic: Get cs:s only. It's been ruined with that 2010 silly update, but it's still better than the terribad floaty disaster of cs:go

CS 1.6 or CSGO. CSS's hitboxes are horrible.

Ioved CS but Valve have left it for dead now and the browser is so broken. CS:S was such a mess but all the custom maps with physics were great fun. CS:GO just has nothing good about it, such a bad game.

CS:GO is beta for a game that might be really good

Source always seemed kinda broken but lots of fun

1.6 is super rediculous and I can't go back to anymore

I guess I'd rank them as CSS>CSGO>CS1.6. CS:S is sweet for playing bhop and minigames and surf and basically custom maps, CS:GO has some good servers but they're pretty hard to find currently and well, 1.6 is great and all but there's a limit with how many BRs and non-English speaking idiots I'm willing to deal with (hell my native tongue isn't English). Words can't express how goddamn infuriating it is to deal with such scum in games, but hey, whatever...

CS was amazing before the 1.4 update.. after that it went downhill.. (I played CS when it was back in beta .3 as the mod for HL). CS: Source was nice with the physics but all the lame custom map servers ruined it when every server had those stupid surf maps. CS: GO I haven't played yet.. I'll pick it up sometimes just to play the odd bot matches since now thats what I do with CS:S.. start up a bot game and have some fun.

There's like 3 servers that I have in my favorites list that are almost always full of people, and they actually play more than just dust2. Aside from those, there's usually not a lot goin on in CSGO. It's too bad. I actually like it quite a bit.

I kinda like CS:GO's matchmaking system, the only thing is people drop in and out ALL THE TIME. So very rarely will you get enough rounds in with an actual team. Sometimes I join matchmaking and realizing 10 min later my team consists entirely of bots. The rest of the game is meh. The weapons are meh, the map changes screw with my head.

1.6 just evolved into a really annoying game, imo. I played CS beta 1 up through 1.3 maybe? And when CS:Source came out I never looked back.

Out of all of them I prefer Source the most, and would recommend that one above the others.

CS:GO was good fun when I first got it, now I only play it to troll the people who take it too seriously. Last week I made these 2 guys rage TK me (they tried vote kicking me but one dude kept voting to keep me :D ) and they both got 7 day matchmaking bans lmao. CS:S is alright, it has too many mods for my taste. But lets face it both games are utter sh!t in comparison to the almighty CS 1.6 [spoiler] jk someone had to speak up for jake and his love of 1.6 [/spoiler]

Haha. That's why I stopped using the matchmaking system. I only ever use it if I feel like a quick Arms Race match. And even then, I join a game, and if there's any bots I leave. I browsed the community servers and it didn't take long to find a few that are almost always full, and have a bunch of regular players, who will stick around on a team for hours. I actually started playing GO a lot more since finding a couple decent servers and saving them. I only ever play Source anymore when my friends who haven't got GO want to play. And then, I still play 1.6 every now and again, if I'm feeling lucky.

I've only played source and GO, but I have moved to GO permanently now.

The reason is I like playing CS, not crazy mod maps. Most of the servers on CSS aren't 'normal' CS anymore, it's all zombies and weird mods, which I guess is good if that's what you like. I have a friend with 2000 hours in source and he's refusing to move.

GO just feels more complete to me, although I do miss some of the maps from Source.

That's exactly why I got frustrated when I tried to come back to both 1.6 and Source after years of not playing. Finding servers that were just playing plain old Counterstrike was a pain. I have managed to find a few, though, so now I have a handful of regular CS servers in my favorites list for both 1.6 and Source, and they're the only ones I play on anymore.

Also, I really love the new maps in GO. I think they make up for the couple old maps that didn't make the cut.
