As you all probably know, Dream-evil hosts a 1.6 server also, so im gonna ask you.. How would you feel about a fightnight 1.6 style?

I bought 1.6 in the steam sale and still haven't even loaded it up yet, let alone play on a server. I'd be up for a fightnight on here

I'm up for it.

Me too.

Ohh yes, guys, let's go back a decade.

yeah i think its gonne be much funner with all the pro players off css they will be now noob players

I disagree, Evil. I find 1.6 waaay easier than Source. Not that I find Source hard, just saying. =)

Well, I played CS 1.6 4 years ago (non-steam). It was fun, fast and I was a complete noob.

There is a reason the majority of the big tournaments still are held in CS1.6 and not Source, according to many people. I believe 1.6 is much more a game of aiming, timing and skill than Source is - simply because the game is better engineered for the internet. This better engineering gives a lot more precise shots - if you shoot someone in the head you actually make a headshot. This can be seen compared to games like COD4+6 and BF2 where it's really all about luck whether you make that kill or not.

In BF2's case that doesn't really matter since the game is mostly about vehicles anyway - but for COD4 and COD6 the horrible network optimization is extremely obvious unless you play on LAN, trust me .

I find, at least, that in CS1.6 I land much more shots than I do in Source, especially those aimed to the head or upper torso. Oh and let's not even talk about the grenades in Source... Come on! It's made to be realistic, but I would like to see the guy who throws a grenade that far in real life ! And also, you never know where the grenade hits, you can't make those really important flashes, smokes and grenades through tight openings or doors like you can in CS1.6.

What I really like with Source, though, is the realistic rendering of the maps. That is way beyond what 1.6 can achieve, and way beyond a lot of today's games. That's why I, at times, love to map for Source - it's simply great!


These are just my two cents, most people probably don't agree with me. But yeah, I'm up for a 1.6 FightNight!

That's were I come in :3. I'm like Midd skilled on Cs 1.6 (Ask Evil, He saw me play:p). And It's Midd Esl. So Practicly (Mid+). ^^. Let's go for an 1.6 Fightnight !. I luv it

So, can we set a date for this fightnight? how about saturday the 3rd of april??

Never played during a fightnight before so I'm very exited about it, the date sounds good to me!

Doggie is away for tomorrow I think, so we couldn't set it up to be passworded or anything. I think we should wait until he's back, and we'll sort out a date and agree what we need to do to the server in terms of rules/maps etc.

Agreed, I wont be able to make it today. Attempting it tomorrow will be to stress it somewhat - I suggest scheduling it till next week!

allright, lets say next saturday then?
