            well, the better players would make that first shot a headshot, so that's where the skill came in.
            
            As someone who prefers Source over 1.6, I still feel that 1.6 has a higher skill ceiling than Source because Source headshots are pretty easy. Grenades/flashes are much more powerful as well, so good teams can get away with easy aiming because their grenades have done 40-60 damage to most players.
