The idea of remaking CS 1.6 in Source is completely backwards to me.

CS 1.6 is kind of liked for the way it “looks” as it is today, most of us who prefer 1.6 would rather they polish up the original game instead of making a sourcified version (arguably uglier) that loses most of the charm the original game had.

I think Valve’s answer to this should be to simply make CS 1.6’s game code open source and allow community members to help fix the very legitimate issues the game currently has ATM (server listing spam, “fake” users in server listings, etc.)

I’m just as confused. CS 1.6 has already been “remade” in the Source engine as Counter Strike: Source and it’s great. I understand if they want to update art assets to modern standards but this remake project says they’re redoing the code from the ground up.
