I've heard it's not that much different. I've been told upgrades are more cosmetic than anything.

It's an entirely new game, and is actually a bit more similar to 1.6 than Source. Recoil is much more difficult to control, and spraying is actually more random than in 1.6.

Weapon balance overall is significantly better than Source. SMGs are cost efficient, and the shotguns are actually effective.

And, as mentioned, player movement just feels different as well. Not necessarily good or bad, just different.
