While there is Counter-Strike: Global Offensive available to everyone, a lot of players believe that Counter-Strike 1.6 is the best version of the game. One of them is most probably modder ‘JASONakaBOURNE’ who is currently working on porting Counter-Strike 1.6 to the Source Engine.
JASONakaBOURNE aims to port all the sounds, models, effects and materials, and re-configure them to work with the Source Engine. The ultimate goal here is to have Counter-Strike 1.6 benefit from updated features such as updated water, shaders, models, textures and much more.
This new beta release of Counter-Strike 1.6: Source features 9 maps. Moreover, and in order to change your in-game resolution, you’ll have to add a command line. Just right click on “csport.bat” and add this after -game csport:
“-width 1920 -height 1080”
By doing this, the game will run at 1920×1080. Naturally, if you want to render the game at a different resolution, you can simply change the aforementioned values.
Counter-Strike 1.6: Source currently does not support online play. Still, gamers can use commands in order to play with some bots. To be honest I don’t expect this mod to ever support online mode but hey, let’s hope that the modder will surprise us all. Below you can find a video showing how you can select maps and use bots.
Those interested can download Counter-Strike 1.6: Source Beta 10 from here.
Have fun everyone!

Without online it would be pointless, that’s what CS is about. Even with online the justification for this mod is questionable. The people who prefer 1.6 over newer CS versions do so because of the way the ENGINE works, and because of the clean visual style that lets you focus on gameplay completely. If you start importing high res textures and high poly models into it and have it run on the Source engine it won’t play like 1.6 anymore. The whole point of 1.6 is that people like how it plays.
Are you dumb? It’s online. Clearly you never heard of CS until GO. There were always high poly models and high res textures for CS way before 1.6. Have you never heard of twinke or polygon?
I played CS 1.6 at friendly LANs back in the day, then CSS (trash) online. I used gun skins for CSS, otherwise I don’t remember mods being allowed. Maybe enemy skins, too, now that I think about it. Nobody who actually likes the game (either one) plays with mods though. Why make yourself lose by cluttering up your screen and lowering your framerate?
yaay now we can have the crap audio as latest source engine has
F yes bro. Count me in, time for stupid shields.
