    Again, I say source. Well if you like graphics go source, and if you like gameplay go 1.6. That's basically it.

    gameplay wise, source and 1.6 are almost the same. maybe source is a bit more fast paced.
    i vote source, more game modes, zombie master, gungame, that sort of stuff.

    If you wish to lean towards professional gameplay i think Counter Strike 1.6 will offer better options because now that the Championship Gaming Series has been put to an end, all professional teams have ditched Source and leaned more towards 1.6


    1.6 has "better" gameplay, better hitboxes ...etc

    and only pros, so a horrible learning curve.

    the answer is simple. you want source, unless you have a really weak computer that necessitates 1.6
