CS 1.5 is an earlier version of the original Counter-Strike with a few key changes. There was no FAMAS or Galil, and you could fast-switch with the AWP without a scope delay. There were also earlier versions of de_aztec and de_inferno. Overall, most agree that the Counter-Strike 1.6 update was an upgrade in general, but that doesn’t stop some players from preferring the earlier versions.
