Source: Not good enough?

Another article has appeared on gotfrag that is well worth a read. Unless you've been living under a rock I'm sure you're aware of the hate being thrown towards CS:S recently. With the transition of CAL and the CPL from 1.6 to Source, gotfrag's very own bootman saw fit to give us an "analyst rant about Counter-strike: Source."

Next the replacement of boxes for source items. I love the new half-life engine. I love shooting barrels around, but not in Counter-Strike. When I first heard about these interactive items, as an analyst it added a whole new dimension of tactics, but then you realize how they are just there for show. These have no reason to be in the game. I recall trying to play long A and not being able to watch my spot because a barrel was rolling me out of position. I don't think that should happen to two top teams competing for $50,000.

Far from being a rant, this an article that I feel sums up the game well and explains in detail why Source is not the game we should be playing at next year's big events. Go here to check out the whole article.
