Well i have been playing the beta and i have enjoyed it shit loads i would say if it wasnt for some little graphic glitches and a few bugs it would easily be a good take over from 1.6 but this is only my opinion what do you guys think about the beta compared to 1.6???
 
Source is EXACTLY the step that they needed to take CS in. The new gameplay feeling makes you feel like you can play 2 ways. 1) You can do traditional CS and run around sometimes maybe using cover and pretty much just unloading on someone. 2) You can play a role in your team and sneak around, using physics and feeling like a team of SEALS or highly coordinated Terrorists. Sure you could do this is 1.6 but now it feels so much more real. Guns feel POWERFUL and sound great. The ambient sounds are also great in adding a feel of "hey I'm really in this place."

Ofcourse this is a BETA and feels very unpolished, its still loads of fun. I was addicted and still, I guess, am addicted to 1.6, buy after playing source I find myself only playing 1.6 to get a change of maps or to play with my friends.

Laggers are the only thing that make the servers not totally enjoyable or exploiters. Skywalking and all that mess. But these problems can easily be fixed with some server admins (which are few and far between in source)

Rag dolls are amazing. Just today some kid shot a guy and his dead body fell right beside me hitting boxes on the way down. :eek:

I'm more of a performance type of gamer and would rather take FPS than perrty stuff like sharper textures or whatever. Even with low graphics it looks great. I run around 50-70 FPS with
- 2.4 P4
- 512 DDR
- 9600XT

Settings - Model Detail HIGH
- Texture Detail MEDIUM
- AA Off
- AF 16x
- Shadows Reflect World

This game is amazing and will be the future of CS for me. I'm sure once everyone is up to par with their comp specs and can run decent frame-rates this game will take off and sell even more than the origional CS.
 
I absolutely love it. It still feels like CS, even though a good bit has changed. Physics I just can't seem to get bored of. =]

I could play with nades, bodies, and barrels all day.
