1.6 felt amazing and was full of fun.
You must be a retard to compare a team based tactic shooter with Quake.
You cant judge 1.6 without taking the onlinepart into consideration.

Shooting through walls and boosting mates up obstacles. Publicservers. They removed pretty much everything cool from counterstrike what made it great.

I dont even get it, they force players to play a certain mappool, they call it competetive but all the good players are playing in ESEA because they are afraid of cheaters.
Even in quickplay only 3 Maps are played.

Jesus christ how out of touch do you have to be to believe this? When I was in highschool and CS was beginning to really take off, only the biggest nerds played it. But then, only the biggest nerds played pc games in general. You speak like a zoomer who never experienced, and can't comprehend a period where playing games after the age of 12 was ridiculed, and looked down upon by most everybody.
CS wasn't popular. It was popular with nerds. The same people who played Quake and Unreal, also played CS. It was fresh and different, and literally thought of it as a replacement for arena shooters. The were equally popular at lan cafes. Stop being a revisionist because you have some weird autistic grudge.

Competitive CS is the peak of fps games. The complicated, high IQ strats involving tactical use of flashes and smokes, as well as player setups made for some quality gameplay. Factor in the tactical in game sense that a competitive CS player develops, as well as high skill cap raw aim, and you have a recipe for the best fps game ever made.

Everything that isn't action-adventure or a smartphone game is dead. Flavour of the month shit like MOBA, card games, hero shooters, Battle Royale and more recently Auto Chess are knee-deep in the grave by the time the third game of a genre is out.
Either way, high skill movement games died because PC gaming is niche and it badly translates to gamepad.
And it's not like arena shooters weren't the most skill-based action games. Asian shit like GunZ: The Duel required even higher skill.
