Fairly subjective statement considering CS:S was the best release of CS since 5.2 Well, I didn't release a statement to the press on behalf of anybody stating that one version was better than another, so...yeah, obviously it's subjective. In any case, I'm talking about responsiveness and hitboxes, issues that were always problems in CS:S. There's videos all over about it. There's still a healthy population playing the original CS instead of CS:S due in part to those issues. It's been a complaint/argument as long as CS:S has been around. And... it's really not an issue in GO, from what I've seen.
