It's really enjoyable because of the built-in matchmaking/ranking for scrims (now called Classic Competitive)
I dont get how 1.6 still has sucha large player base...all I can find is 24/7 Dust 2 servers many with bots.

I believe the scene is huge in Europe still, however some teams are starting to switch over to GO.. The problem is there's no money in CS:GO.. and many pros prefer 1.6.
I played 1.6 for years.. since I was a little kid (didn't get into the competitive scene though). The amount of individual skill, teamwork, timing for pushes, use of grenades, etc etc requires so much more work than other FPS games. CS in general, is still by far the BEST FPS in my opinon.
CS:GO definitely has potential to reunite the divided community of CS 1.6/Source players. The mechanics are more based on 1.6, and I love the new game options (Competitive matchmaking).
The thing I don't like CS:GO as of now, is the slow/lack of updates. Hackers are not getting banned, when you reach a certain rank on CS:GO, there is bound to be hackers in each game. Also, I don't understand why valve refuses to put in competitive maps for competitive match making (removes the stupid fog, items, chickens, etc), and the lack of silencers. The team-killing banning system is a complete
JOKE. How difficult is it to add a "forgive teammate option"? And not to mention, why isn't it possible to have a option to choose for different maps for "rematches"? There are tons of threads on the steam (CS:GO subforums) asking for changes/better updates, but
Valve doesn't seem to care at all.
The truth is, the era of Counter-Strike is over. Nobody likes to play hard games (steep learning curve) anymore, there is no target market for CS. Kids these days only know what COD is.
