It’s kind of funny how some old tactics from CS 1.6 still work even now. I tried playing a few matches after not touching the game for years, and stuff like basic smoke throws, baiting, or holding angles — all of that is still effective. Guess good fundamentals never go out of style. Anyone else notice that the classic strats are still winning rounds?
Absolutely, some things never change. Even with new players and updated games, if you know the maps and play smart, you’re already ahead. I played on a fresh install from download Counter-Strike 1.6 and was surprised how well old moves like the “fake B rush” still mess with people. The mechanics are the same, so it’s really all about the basics. It’s actually cool to see that knowing timing and team play can carry you even after all these years. Makes it easy for people who come back after a long break.
There’s something satisfying about using old school tactics and seeing them still work. Shows that some parts of the game are just timeless. Even if people know the tricks, it’s all about the execution.
