>1.6 was never skillfull and it always pandered to casuals. Source is better
Source is piss compared to 1.6. if you're average at 1.6 you'll rape in source. source head hitboxes are gigantic (pretty much every shot in source is a headshot) and on top of that there is hardly any recoil to boot.

the other anon is correct about the hitboxes. there is lag between where the hitboxes actually are and the visual representation of the body during play. pic related.

This is not ping, it's inherent to the engine and Valve were never able to fix it. you might find a couple of 1.6 vids with weird hitboxes but those are isolated incidents, likely due to bad rates or ping. the difference with source is it is inherent to the engine and it happens in every single match you play (how have you not noticed it?). this is why source never became as big in the competitive scene as 1.6 did, despite being the newer game and having sponsors throw money at it. while source was good, it simply wasn't up to the mark of 1.6.

>Also Source has the same recoil patterns as 1.6
this is completely false

>The only reasons people spout that shit are that they've heard others bitch about it and repeat it without testing it. Or that they are shit players and can't aim and aren't observant.
As I said, source is much easier than 1.6. it is so easy to land headshots in that game its not even funny. coupled with zero recoil you're left with a much more arcade-y game that you can pray and spray out the ass and still land headshots left right and center.

It sounds to me like you're a disgruntled source player who tried 1.6 a couple of times and got his ass kicked, and then decided to blame it on hitboxes (which would be false since 1.6 is significantly more accurate). 1.6 players often find source to be significantly easier but the reverse is never true. you seem to be the exception.
