I download the normal CS v1.6(thinking it was source) and it is shit, the graphics are crap and its no fun at all, proper spray and pray fest
Source is meant to be much better though with updated graphics, and looking at youtube vids it does look much better

It is in a totally different league and still the best fps out there.
I have played it since the beginning and still play nearly every day

yes the graphics are better but the gameplay is shocking you get headshots when shooting at the floor if its so good why did it get dropped by all the big events? answer: none of the gamers wanted to play it so they all went back to 1.6 i see things abit different though i guess as i play cs at a very high level not just a mess around on public ( running round in a spray fest? )

yeah you run round and when you see someone its like "ARGGGHHH kill him kill him" then your finger is firmly down on the left mouse button hoping you kill him before he kills you

i guess im used to playing Battlefield 2142 where theres loads of other objectives bar killing people
