well following the recent events and people who keep up with them. Cs 1.6 has now been officially removed from Intel Extreme Masters and World Cyber Games. What do you guys think about this ?
is cs 1.6 dead?
Awesome multiplayer game.Have lots of fun playing it even now.It will continue to thrive in local competitions,IMHO.
I still play cs1.6 with friends..but prefer cs source..
CS 1.6 is my favorite game so far....
Should be dead by now....
the old horse is beaten too far...

Dead? I just played the damn thing for the past couple hours!! Getting removed from some tournaments(doesn't matter how prestigious) doesn't mean the end of something. Edison was expelled from school yet we have the light bulb.
P.S. :- I don't know if my example made any sense or not. I just wanted to write it
Oh and if any of you guys are looking for some assault fun then head here 74.91.121.226:27015

can you tell me what to do with the IP adress? Have been playing CS with Z-bot. (and have been playing CSCZ)
Will thrive for sometime. But indeed it needs to be retired.

It's CS 1.6 IP not CZ. Just open up the game consol by pressing tilde(`). Type connect <ip address> like "connect 74.91.121.226:27015" or open up the multiplayer/find servers options from main menu and in that go to favorites tab. Click on add new server and paste the ip address.
Yeah dude why? CS 1.6 ne tumhara kya bigada hai ??
But why

Strikethrough = it doesn't??? 
It was a Game of the Era everyone had their first FPS experience in this Awesome game another best thing of this game is it would work in any damn computer no matter if its 10 or 15 year old
lol, i played many lan events, and i guarantee you, CS 1.6 will atleast take 10 years to retire from now on,
next generation will play GLOBAL OFFENSIVE for 15 years, at that time we will all be like old school players, don't worry, keep up the spirits and play the world's NO.1 multiplayer game

@101gamzer:True to that, but my question remains unanswered. So i can't join that game because my copy is pirated?
S
Strikethrough = it doesn't???
We CS 1.6 players don't use the word pirated. We prefer the more conventional non-steam
Yes I use a downloaded from torrent copy of even this cheap-ass game. Why? Steam doesn't allow Indian users to play outside India which for me is a major deal-breaker as most of the times I'm on US servers.
K. will try for sure!!!!
Its time to move on I guess.

Well i used to play on american steam servers
dead no man.
maybe in next 10 yrs
btw! global offensive experience is not good compare to cs 1.6.
if valve want CS:GO to be popular they need to act on suggestions

I still play the game for around 5-6 hours every weekend.However , I do it only at public servers.
So ,Playing against so many guys with hacks and cheats made me a Pro.

Can you play CS 1.6 on Windows 7? It says fatal error - less than 15 mb memory avilalbe....
Works fine for me. Try running in compatibility mode for XP SP3.
Call me a noob or whatever you want, I want this game to be dead.. Cant they just replace this with CSS atleast.. I know many pros and "wanna be" pros love this game for a number of reasons ( i am going to list none), but come-on, its a ten year old game..it surely needs a successor..
^ got owned ??
Never happened to me.
why do you say that ? I play CSS regularly, sure I get owned a lot but I know how to pwn
.. I dont play CS1.6, the game is too old for my tasteJust look at the bullet-spread in CS 1.6 for instance.. and look at the kind of bullet-spread you get in Bf3 or even COD..
I hope someone will understand what i mean to say..
Re: is cs 1.6 dead ?
The most important reason why CS1.6 is still ruling the College and Student life : System requirements are considerably low, "almost" every PC built after 2000 can run this.
Not everyone(student) can afford likes of Nvidia GPUs and Dual-core/Quad core CPU , which are the basic requirements of new games.
Average Laptops are equipped with low-end stuffs,and most of college users have lappies.
IMO, it won't dissapear so easily .However the increase in Touchscreen gaming tablets and portable gaming devices are threating entry of newbies in CS.

I had the same problem, Just do as morpheus instructed
i.e. 1.Right click on the shortcut
2. Click on properties
3. Compatibility Tab
4. Check the "Run this game in compatibility mode for"
and Enjoy
hmmm.... will try that the next time i install it on 7.... currently playing from xp
I think CS:GO pretty much nailed it now
10 years??
CS 1.6 is like your Solitaire & Freecell.
It will always be there!!

i know what you want to say, you mean the bullets and engine in battlefield 3 is real
ofcourse it is, but cs 1.6 is really old game, but today also if you organize an event in colleges with cs 1.6 and battlefield 3, majority of players will be on cs 1.6 event come on, though its old, it has a charm, the skill with which you play, pawning, headshots, straffing, bunny hop, boasting, planning, flashing ( team flash 
), magging, calling for back up, hiding behind a box,taking down enemies in flash, smoking, planting the bomb, isn't it fun? and one thing, CS 1.6 is really fun when the opponent is a tough guy to take down
Which would you vote better, CS 1.6 or CSCZ?
Have a look at the FlashDeck's animated Videos for Cs1.6 on yoUtube, specially De_Deust2 and couple of others , they are hilarious.
What is Hamachi?
hamachi is a free virtual private network.
It helps you play among friends living far from eachother like you were sitting next to eachother on LAN.
Also if you plan to use it, use 1.0.3 version, that is the best version till date.
I have played CS1.6 using Hamachi , with 4 of my friends.However I always found the latency to be really high. Almost in the order of 500ms.
Is this a common issue with hamachi ??
No, we keep our firewalls off and obviously all downloads off.
And we get nice pings.
But then again sometimes it lags due to connection issues.
Also in the hamachi window everyone should have green stars not yellow ones.
If its yellow, its relayed, in short that guy cant play..

Yesterday, I tried playing CS 1.6 online. I got real bad latency, in the order of 400. And really unstable. Need help. I run Windows XP, with a firewall exception for hl.exe and no downloads
if all was fine from your side, it must have been a server problem.
try locating servers near you from sites like gametracker or gamemonitor
try locating servers near you from sites like gametracker or gamemonitor
Goto Cmd and Type in "netstat -b".
Check for the number of applications open and communicating to the internet.
Find them and take them down if possible.
Btw , try locating Mumbia based servers .Lots of cs1.6 servers in india are nearby Mumbai and would give you a ping of ~120ms with 1Mbps/512Kbps.
You can find them on Gametracker.
Sadly there are very few listing of them In Delhi , I only have few choices for playing Cs1.6 publicly.

Can i create a game on my laptop and share that ip address so that people can join?
^ you will need to run a dedicated CS/HL server for that purpose.
The application will be in your folder ,named hlds.exe "half -life dedicated server."
Make sure that you change the mode to Internet , and provide your public ip and not your NAT/Local based IP.

Do you have a fresh Installation of Cs1.6 ??
Its still in all pc's of my collage lab. But don't play it, feel hesitation. Don't know why, may be graphics and ladder movements.
How long will we bear this, if series has latest titles.

It was dead before it arrived. What a poor cartoonish game! No idea why bunch of gaming cafes moved to 1.6 from Source!! Was it PC spec! Jeez!
^It was gamers' orientation.
source is good , I love it. Its precise but the fact that I don't find the crowd for CSS , I stick with CS1.6 .
Last time I checked on Gtracker I didn't found any CSS server within 500Miles from Delhi.

Man I think you don't have any idea what you just write just do google and see how many player played this game and number servers, tournament and fans. Have you ever run the game Quake, I don't think so it's more cartoonist. I think start playing the high end games with super graphics when you having Bloomfield or Arrandale that why you approach to this opinion.
PS: Shocking even I didn't touch my Steam 1.6 CS from last 6 yr. I'm a big addict and fan of CS 1.6, still I think number player prefer CS 1.6 compare to source.
CS 1.6? seriously mate?
This was one computer game which every human and his dog were trying to be the best at.
And there hasn't been such a game ever since.
i know what you want to say, you mean the bullets and engine in battlefield 3 is real
and one thing, CS 1.6 is really fun when the opponent is a tough guy to take down
noobde team flasher is dead next round at spwnsite
+1 , this is why everybody plays it.....the competition. :ahh love it.
is hamachi same as logmein?

cs 1.6 ain't dead and and isn't going to die down in near futre, atleast in India.
Steam: Game and Player Statistics
Just have look at the steam stats. It is always in top 5 most played games. The game has a loyal fanbase and the lower system requirements help the game to sustain. It is definitely fun but if you have a good system that can run source, and haven't played 1.6 before, then play source. you'll find 1.6 cartoonish. myself i'm a 1.6 and cz player and haven't played much source due to lack of good servers in India and since most of my friends play 1.6. there are tons of 1.6 and CZ servers for in India. Though i'm not pro at the game i'm just used to 1.6 and cz and find source recoil and other things bit out of order. i'll probably move when cs go is released.
And 1.6 has hell lot of hackers. those non steam guys are so much irritating sometimes.

You are referring to a majority of CS players.(including me)
D
i'm not saying all of the no steam guys are wallers or aimbotters, but there is no way to ban the cheaters permanently from a server as people mostly have dynamic IPs and they ruin the fun of the game.
and the server admins should also be blamed as they use cracked servers to allow non steamers. There are very few steam only servers in India.
N
actually its not quite dead....my friends from 8th-10th grade r mad about it!!! i did some research on CS addiction and found that som ppl who think themselves 2 be losers in real life try 2 create a virtual environment where they win...so they keep up the practice.still...in our case its like playing Prince(the 90's classic) and becoming nostalgic!! 
...
...
Played some online CSCZ... now cant play tour of duty
Never played COD.
Start playing if you like any kind of FPS game!!
I love my fingers, i love my keyboard and love my free time. So I'd not waste any of them by typing 'no idea' thing. And i don't care about 'how many' people play it, because it's nuisance basically.
'A lot of people' in India purchase Nano while they can get far superior car at a little bit of extra price. Sorry, I was, am and always will stay outside that 'lot of people' thing.
i wonder if by chance SK|fOrest, or Walle, Heaton, or sPawn read this tdf post, what would they think of this guy
I don't wanna know who are those people, but the thing is- I DON'T CARE.
^^^look you have right to speak...ok...but don't you think you stay in a society where your comments would hurt some people...i don't say you should praise CS 1.6...but i would also like to say you shouldn;t say something which you don't know.
ok tell me why flipkart and infibeam is selling COUNTER STRIKE:ANTHOLOGY game which is 12 years old? and why do people have given maximum number of positive ratings to that game on flipkart?

Sorry buddy, I have stated my op. You don't like it, it seems, ignore it. Why stretching the matter?
I played CSS for ~4½ years, you don't wanna know how much i played, and then the, damn CS 1.6 appeared, just couldn't give away the CS craze, so had to play it, for one year i guess, then our whole team quit playing, that was some ranked team. Yes, it was me who took the initiative, and others happily followed.
Right now i can gather 50 of my friends who will say the same thing, if not worse.
So just leave it, alright? You like 1.6, play it, I find it cartoonish and i won't play it, ever.
EOD.

lol.. it was CS: Source (2004) which appeared 4.5 years after CS (1999). CS:S came around the time when Half Life 2 was to come. CS on the other hand started as a community mod for Half Life. Half Life came out in 1998 and Half Life 2 in 2004.
I'm finding it hard to believe that you think CS craze started after CS:S.
Or may be you simply think CS was launched after CS:S?
lol.. Dead before arrival? Makes no sense at all - even to someone who is not from a Counter Strike culture.Also, CS:S never really picked up in India because of Steam and how inconvinient was it to pirate, get it working on LAN - plus its massive size as you needed the whole Source engine. (Contrast all of this to CS 1.6) CS 1.6 non-Steam copies are easily available and because of this it is highly popular in "LAN". It is only ~250 MB in size, I believe.
Weird that you first got acquainted with CS:S. Perhaps you got an internet connection or started gaming only in 2008.
May be not, but everyone will find this hilarious if you started playing CS:S in 2005 and played till 2009 (4 years) and then (you think) CS 1.6 appeared in India - in 2009. Is this what you imply?
Jesus Christ!! The cafe/cafes where i/we played, yes we played CS-S (for looooong time) and then CS 1.6 started it's damn time. It's simple, what's the problem? And how come which game released at what time matters
Anyway, i am ending this discussion here, if you wanna go on then please don't quote me.
Thank you very much.
And fyi, i started gaming on 2002 and internet connection on 2003. When i was 15. Got it?

You already represent the your "idea" again by using nuisance word for CS 1.6 really, what I can say you are exception then. Your example is irrelevant this because you always stay outside that 'lot of people' thing, Really price man that's why you compare with Nano, do you know what was the price of CS 1.6 on steam and I remember I paid Rs1300 (after two yr playing non-steam, Even we have thread of CS 1.6 were we invited each other) not sure what was the exact price but Katmandu was a seller who shipped me (the old member know him). One word you don't about FPS very much, Crysis very heavy graphics fine what about the game play...hmm
, CS, UT and Quake still pump my adrenaline.
I don't get your words properly, but i see what you mean.
Yes, i loved Crysis, only for it's high graphic, but that's all, the gameplay is ..... leave it. Yes, I admit CS and UT is really good in gameplay.
For me it's CS-S>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> CS 1.6

You are not missing much.
Something tells me you got royally pwned in that game.
A
Meh.. CS rocks. I play 6-7 hours daily.. you won't get the experience of the fun in CS in any other multiplayer game. CS can be heavily modded to include special maps for fun like Hide N seek, Death Run, Assassinate the VIP etc. I used to play it for almost 4 hours everyday.. man.. those slangs, **** talking, p0rn0 sprays and what not.. will always be remembered <3
D
As i already said, it is matter of personal choice. I'm not surprised @ithehappy likes source more than 1.6 because he said he played source first and then tried 1.6. Most of us are 1.6 players at start and then tried/moved to source.
Those who are used to source find 1.6 as a big letdown in graphics. and also the 1.6 community is well established and most of em aren't casual players and those who come to 1.6 find the game harder in terms of competition and also game mechanics. and finally it becomes cartoonish and losers game according to them. few valid reasons for the game being still popular and is being played more than source is because of it's low system requirements, small size and easy to pirate.
and those who try source after years of 1.6 may find source easy, made for kids and non-competitive. some of those who say that really mean it and some of those say that just because they are loyal fanboys of 1.6
but in the end 1.6 is still the most popular game at many international game tournaments.
Looks Like Somebody Got OWned.!!!!!
seriously if someone doesnt like CS just drop it, not everyone likes CS. Just like not everyone likes Eminem
i love both though
in short mocking each other's opinion is not how you should increase your post count

Exactly.
Well i don't expect any better graphics from a highly popular multiplayer game, but the stuffs should look like stuffs. A grenade, flash should look like at least like a grenade or flash. I don't want a childish cadbury like flash or stuffs which are so laughing, and the implication of it can't be any poor.
Meh!

Meh!
That's a 1999 game dude.
Source was intended as an upgrade. But that didn't happen since the 1.6 community didn't like source as it is, they expected 1.6 with better graphics but the source engine was altogether different from Goldsrc and recoil patterns and everything were different. Most of the bugs(like fastswitch etc) in 1.6 are used as exploits and tricks in competitive play by the professional players and all those bugs were fixed in source. It turned out to be an altoghther different game. And the STEAM thing was hated by everyone equally then.
If valve comes up with a replica of 1.6 with better graphics, people will definitely move.

Hey kiddo stop trying to be a smartarse, alright?
do you realise that CS came out in 1999? Or you still don't.
So? There is nothing to realise. And i don't think it's relevant to this topic.do you realise that CS came out in 1999? Or you still don't.
Get a life guys, i said something, you don't agree, fine. Stretching the matter like a 1000 times chewed gum doesn't show a good character, do you guys feel it?
Why on earth did i come and commented on a silly game, should've sticked with the games i play, damn.....TDF, same old, same old
I can carry on but i don't wanna, so this is my very last post in this topic. Now if you feel yourself as a human being stop quoting me and get on, otherwise, do whatever you want, just know i am not even reading anything.
tl,dr
^^Chill dude.No one's stretching the matter.You are being provided the facts which you are ignoring.CS 1.6 isn't about graphics.Its about gameplay.

I started gaming in 2000 at the age of 4...
and i started gaming in 90 at the age of 0
Stop embaracing him, he tell the lie.
I just wish people played free games like Urban Terror in LAN parties rather than *pirating* CS.
Yes but that's only applicable for Indian retail purchasers. If you had purchased through online store in Steam (international store) (which is cheap during sales), then you can play it anywhere in the world without restriction.
We CS 1.6 players don't use the word pirated. We prefer the more conventional non-steam

yes, I got it.
What this means is, (most probably)
You started playing CS:S in 2005. And as you said, you played it for 4 years till 2009. Then came CS 1.6 (as per you) which was dead on arrival in 2009 (as per you).
So the reason you dislike CS1.6 is because of "Bad Graphics" 
I play Pokemon on VBA for gameplay, sue me.

When you are using inverted comma then please know that those words should/must be used by the user whom you are quoting. So 'Bad Graphics' is a poor choice of words from your side, especially when you are poorly trying to put your words in others mouth
Thought it was taught in Class V perhaps.
Anyway, I feel
, so gotta sleep
True ..
why do you say that ? I play CSS regularly, sure I get owned a lot but I know how to pwn
Just look at the bullet-spread in CS 1.6 for instance.. and look at the kind of bullet-spread you get in Bf3 or even COD..
I hope someone will understand what i mean to say..
I can
n one will be able to beat the combo of KB+Mouse
10 years??
CS 1.6 is like your Solitaire & Freecell.
It will always be there!!
I've never played Solitaire & Freecell but played CS1.6.
CS 1.6 and NFS MW will be there for our kids too
they wont die unless something similar and that great is out.....i mean an updated version.....
CS and NFSMW are entirely different ... NFSMW has the best story a racing game can ever have and the story is enough to keep you going but talking about MP racing game - there's better alternative available.
i know what you want to say, you mean the bullets and engine in battlefield 3 is real
and one thing, CS 1.6 is really fun when the opponent is a tough guy to take down
rightly said but same applies to CSS
let'em wonder too - the world is full of Wonders
Old outdated gfx is Ok for me ( like CS 1.6 ) as long as the gameplay and game physics are good but I find CSS to be more realistic, better and well made with hard to take advantage of any exploit or bugs -
I've started with Quake 3, then moved to CS1.6, Played UT and OA for some time but compared to all of those CSS is still lot better - there must be lots of CS 1.6 Players but for me CSS is still best and a thing preferred by many does not always makes it the best - there are exception and CSS is one of them IMO
I've equal respect for both CS1.6 and CSS - I've learnt a lot from playing CS 1.6 and those skills made me good at CSS - so both of'em are still good - CS 1.6 is the great ancestor ( this will always be ) and CSS is the successor
D
We CS 1.6 players don't use the word pirated. We prefer the more conventional non-steam
There isn't any restriction like that. I do play in US and other international servers. The only downside is high pings, obviously for which steam isn't the reason.
CS 1.6 is a steamworks game and wherever you buy it from, retail or online, steam is mandatory. Even if you buy from the retail you have to register the cd key with a steam account.
I only meant that the games activated through retail are the only ones which have regional restrictions. Games purchased through the store have no such restriction.
D
My bad, i get it now. afaik the regional restrictions only apply to the activation of the game, i.e., you shouldn't activate Asian keys in Europe, Europe keys in US etc and like wise, the condition was kept probably because of the regional pricing. Even if you activate the game in different region it may work but the chances are that the game may be removed from your account at any time. Once you have the game in your account there is no restriction in playing the game in out of region servers. Blizzard's Starcraft 2 has such regional server restrictions at start, I'm not sure if it is removed now.

Exactly.
Well i don't expect any better graphics from a highly popular multiplayer game, but the stuffs should look like stuffs. A grenade, flash should look like at least like a grenade or flash. I don't want a childish cadbury like flash or stuffs which are so laughing, and the implication of it can't be any poor.
Meh!
