Valve Haters

I ran into this article while trashing e-mails, I am not certain on the other points of the 'top seven reasons' that they give out, other than Counter-Strike and Counter-Strike: Source.

How many of you have actually started, back when CS:S first came out, that it was no better than the original? Did you stay on 1.6 after it released for sometime before eventually being suckered into upgrading to the 'new game'?

Which somewhat reminds me, how Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, is holding up versus the original Counter-Strike.

When I made my initial transition between 1.6 to source, I always found my reg better.

But then again, they had the whole, run behind a wall and still take damage thing.

I enjoyed it, I was super stoked to play aztec (remember when all those rain demos came out?)

Apples and oranges. I do remember all the hate css got when it was released, but I did transition to it right away. being around for cal season one was exciting. No one knew if the old 1.6 power houses would rule the new game or if new teams would rise. It was a blast.

when comparing the transition from 1.6 to CSS and CSS to GO you are missing one thing. CS: CZ . The terrible CS game that valve bailed on after a few years of half ass patching.

I just hope we get a new cs with hl 3

I didn't have the computer to run source smoothly, didn't get into source till like a year or 2 later after released, it was CS:CZ for me. Famas 1 burst HS ftw~
