Counter-Strike Source has been around for years now, and a bunch of people play it, but what made you start playing source? Did your friends get you into it? Was it just by curiosity?

Tell us how you got into the game.

For me I got into Source because my friends started playing it awhile back in 2005`

I was always watching my friend play 1.5.... after awhile i finaly bought the game and since then im hocked on all the CS's

when i lived in texas a friend of mine I met at work introduced me to cs1.6 and I got hooked and been following it ever since ironically I started playing 1.6 but can't see myself ever going back to it.
Good post

Yeah, I've been playing since 1.6 too, but it's been on and off. Now I think Source is way better than 1.6

Started on 1.3 though dropped it for a while then picked it back up when 1.5 rolled around as 1.6 came out played that for a week then went back to 1.5 till the won servers where shut down then went to source. still 1.5 was the best of all them :P

I just bought it in a store,
Installed it.
And here I am, a lazy cs player that cant clean up his home.

Played 1.6 for too many years before source. :P My account got stolen so I had to buy a new account. It was 1.6 vs source and I picked source as it was something new. Then I went back to 1.6 for like a year, and then came back to source. x_x

I got 1.6 free when I bought Day of Defeat 1.3, so naturally I started with that. I really enjoyed 1.6's game play. However, Source has taken hold of my attention in recent years. Last night I tried to play 1.6 on D2, and I must say I got "raped."

I started playing 1.5 in a cyber cafe, then played 1.6 occasionally, and a couple years later bought source and have been playing it since

I played for years on 1.6, got really good just didn't have time for leagues. Then I quit for awhile, started back on source. Played source off and on for a few years also getting really good again, but of course no time with school and work to be competitive.

Then I decided to let my 14 yr old cuz try the game out while I went away for a weekend. Big mistake on my part. Decided to get a few hacks because he was tired of dying lol. Got banned and had to create a new account. Made him pay for it though.

Now I'm just playing off and on while in school full time and work full time, trying to get as good as I use to be.
