This is the absolute best Esport FPS ever created and I will tell you why and disprove any points you might have against it objectively.
This game has surely standed the test of time, as 8888 says "Even after 20 years this game is a masterpiece and is the king of competitive FPS. Overwatch, Valorant and others can only dream to even come close."

I absolutely agree with this as yeah sure, the graphics are extremely outdated however when we talk about game play and movement although a little lacking and hit reg it's extremely hard to compete and even the worst quality of the game being it's graphics is secretly one of the best thing about the game as almost anyone on any pc can run the game an ok modern pc can easily get hundreds of frames per second, hell even out dated pc's can do the same. Which in turn makes the game super responsive and just so much better than more modern competitive shooters as it makes the gateway of entry into Esports attainable to anyone who only needs a good internet connection.

The game's amazing hit detection and lag compensation have still not been bested by any other game. Due to just how simple the game is and how fast any pc can run the game it's nearly impossible to compete to. Sadly the model animation interpolation is a little lacking however, I and most others are literally able to get a thousand frames per second, so yeah it runs really freaking smooth and lets players really flex their reaction times and just generally increases the skill ceiling drastically.

A lot of people nag on the game for simple game-play mechanics and so on however through simple rules complex strategies can be formed making that point irrelevant. That is why I will state with absolute confidence that this is the fairest most competitive Electronic sport on the market. Its fairness comes about with it being extremely fair to both teams [(CT) and (T)] and switches their spawns at half (15/30) , just in case the map is (sided). Which coupled with everything else said, makes this sadly even better than the successor CS S and even CSGO, however sadly most the player base has moved to the newest game which does support better graphics and so on that does slightly diminish the quality of performance However the game runs quite well still and Is only extremely slightly less competitive.

However the difference is so mynute that even myself has moved onto CSGO as that's where the tournaments and everything else are. Which sadly do indeed raise skill ceilings more as they promote more game-play and competition. However make no mistake game-play wise and minus all the Eye candy that CSGO and other games have you can't beat a game made and optimized for slower pc's 20 years ago as it does allow for a higher skill ceiling. With all that being said this game is a relic of the past and CSGO is Constantly getting better for Higher skill ceilings and at the moment CSGO is right under CS 1.6 and with newer and faster pc's being built every mouth soon CS 1.6 will lose the competitive edge that made it better than CSGO and CSGO will soon Become the game with a higher skill ceiling...

Nah just kidding better pcs just make the easy-er game to run even faster compared to CSGO lol CS 1.6 better 10/10
