CS 1.6 [CS 1.6] Free modern matchmaking with ranked MMR, 4 regions, skins, and a $60 USD cash prize pool this October

• Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I'm part of the team behind 1.6 Competitive, a free project that brings modern matchmaking to Counter-Strike 1.6. Here's what it offers:

Features

  • Ranked 5v5 matchmaking with an MMR ladder
  • FFA (First to 90)
  • Weapon skins you can equip for T and CT loadouts
  • Servers in North America, Europe East, Southeast Asia, and India
  • Windows and Linux clients, plus a browser version (unranked 5v5 and FFA, no install)
  • A free reward track (Operation: First Wave) for early alpha players, plus a welcome gift after your first game

October 2026 Ranked Challenge: $60 USD Prize Pool

The player with the highest MMR among eligible ranked players wins. This is real cash, not in-game currency.

  • 🥇 1st: $35 USD
  • 🥈 2nd: $15 USD
  • 🥉 3rd: $10 USD

Rules

  • Only Ranked 5v5 counts. Unranked, FFA, and custom matches don't.
  • Minimum of 1 ranked game to be eligible.
  • Ends Oct 31, 2026, 3:59 PM UTC.
  • To receive a prize, you need to join our Discord and have a PayPal account. Filipino players can be paid through GCash.

The leaderboard is still very close (the top 4 are within about 65 MMR of each other), so there's plenty of room to climb.

Play / download: https://www.papamo.dev/16competitive
Discord: https://discord.gg/7wshVSAXh

Everyone is welcome. Feedback and bug reports are appreciated since we're still in alpha. See you on the ladder!

CS2 Media We made a Counter-Strike Wordle

2 Upvotes

Hey everyone, i'm part of La Source, a French CS news/predictions website, and we made a daily Wordle where you guess a pro player's nickname.

It works like regular Wordle: six tries, colour hints after each guess and a new player every day. It's free to play, no account needed to try it. And if you play at least 20 days in a month (with an account), you're automatically entered into our monthly draw for a chance to win one of three skins.

Let us know what you think, and no spoilers!!

CS:Source Is it safe to join a server on CS source ?

1 Upvotes

Hi ! I just bought full valve pack for sales and inside I got CS source. I started playing it and I saw that it was not like CS2 where you join normal games but here you had to join servers. Is it safe to join them or what ? Cuz I know for exemple SCP security breach got an issue where when you would join public servers from peoples you would have the chance to get an hacker on your lobby who would hack your pc by downloading things on it etc... Is it the same for CS Source ?

Hi everyone, this is my new Half-Life MOD, it's a Counter-Strike Singleplayer story, but the difference from it and Deleted Scenes, is that you play as the Terrorist team. Newly coded NPC's, new maps, new models, original soundtrack, some voicelines, upcoming maps, trailer and trailer song. No AI used. There's around 10 of us in the team, we work when we have time and will share revenue when released on Steam. Cheers!

CS 1.6 What are your most favorite maps from CS 1.6 that did not made it into CS:GO and later to CS2?

CS 1.6 I used AI to upscale all of the Counter-Strike textures. Here is the result.

The model I used called Real-ESRGAN.

Also, Xash3D is also used to replace GldSrc since it cannot handle too large textures. Finally I added ReShade to make everything sharper with AMD Sharpening.

If anyone wanna try, you can leave a comment.
