My friend started playing 1.5, he used to play steam..

Anyways..

usually on steam he's around 24-10 or on better days 30-8..that's a rough estimate..

Well he tells me on 1.5 he got a 54-2 and got kicked because they thought he was hacking.

Now I ask..is it really that noobish?

The majority of the people still playing 1.5 don't know that 1.6 exists. That's because they're not very hardcore-style gamers and don't keep up-to-date on that kind of thing. Plus, on 1.6, because it takes longer to kill enemies, you tend to aim for the head more often. This habit makes enemies even easier to kill in 1.5 where they're much easier to kill.

Or the people in that server were just idiots and couldn't handle someone who could actually get an insane score every now and then.

I vote number 2, I've been banned from my favorite servers for bs "hacking" anyone know House of God 24/7 Dust. I was -}eA[- Joker at the time I believe and got banned for no good reason except I hit around 7 head shots in a row and had a score around 50-10. He probly was just having a good day on 1.5, I go up and down on my scores sense I play either once in a while or all day for a few weeks.

I've never noticed any difference between the people. I played 1.5 for the longest time before I got onto 1.6, thats only because I despise change in a great game. It took me a while to get off of 1.3 as well.

its harder to get a headshot in 1.6 and i think that weapons do slightly less dmg. when i played 1.5 when steam was down i died like a lot faster from just a few shots from a mp5 or something

1.5 runs kinda smoother to me, it should be easier to play because of that. because you dont have that huge a$$ steam running in the background sucking the life of your memory

to me 1.5 is crazy easy, the first time i played i went into a server like viz said and i got banned b/c i owned the whole ct team. In 1.5 it seems like the guns are alot more accurate and the nades do alot more dmg. Also it seems like it is harder to kill someone on 1.6 than 1.5

I haven't noticed a big difference there, I think the main thing is that most hardcore csers went to 1.6 and those people that only play occasionally just stayed there. I'm about to go back to 1.5 because thats all we play at the LAN parties I attend =\
