New CS, CZ Updates

[EdisLeado]

lol, the updates never bothered me i guess its just 'cause i haven't been playing for a month, so everything seems the same for me

[KGarcia]

The updates don't seem to bother me either... as long as 1.3 mod works then all is good ;-)

I agree pretty much with what cliffe agrees with.



The awp was fixed. It's not going to be changed back. Nothing more to say.



As far as the crosshairs, I still like the idea that they're the same on all resolutions. However, I think the size could be tweaked for certain guns and/or moments. Basically, your crosshairs are your only indication of what your accuracy is, so they should do a very good job at indicating it to you.



Is the headshot sprite customizable? If you customize the headshot sprite, the guns will still be there? If so, good. I like it how it is now.



All in all, good job on this update. Now to just address such things as price balancing the weapons, and fixing the tiny bugs that could clean the game up a bit.



I really think the guns need balancing...I mean, for roughly 3K, you can get a scout OR an AK-47 OR an autoshotty. Which are you going to pick, the weak sniper rifle, the strong but CQB-only shotty, or something that can do both with better results?



Basically what I'm saying is 'good job but don't stop now'. ^.^

How about fixing the hitboxes with the next update... Please?

that would be so damn awesome I'm at a loss for words

The last update really borked by C-D so I didn't get a chance to play last night.



My one gripe is that the non-AK/Colt/AWP/Deagle/MP5 weapons are all, generally, to expensive to be worth the money. I'd love a cheap-cheap-cheapo MAC10 or TMP, cheap enough to be a viable second round weapon with enough $ go with a vest.



I'd also love the paramachinegun to fire faster (but not necessarily more accurate), fast enough to intimidate any rushers that hear it roaring in front of them.

Give me a break. Anyone who thinks the AWP is nerfed clearly never had a nerf gun in their childhood.

cliffe, im sure the vast majority of us out there can understand the need of the delay added to the AWM. the change is for the good, really getting rid of "AWM shotgunning" quite well.



although is there indication that the deploy animation for the AWM will be increased to coincide with the delay in zooming the weapon? this would sure help people in determining when they can zoom. instead of tapping the zoom key repeatedly until it zooms. good idea? probably been suggested before.

Can we get a new texture for the USP seeing how it's a new model...?



And seeing how there's all these improvements/updates happening, any chance that the defaults weapon models will change in plain ol' CS? I love using custom models and all, but it's pretty rough to go back to the defaults when you play in a league. Spiffier looking defaults coming anytime soon?

if you hadn't noticed, or maybe its just me, some of the models have been retouched for the past few updates. the AK actually looks like wood now, now neon orange. and i guess u can say the glock changed (from 1.5).

The AWP is fixed... Now you can't run around like Rambo zooming in and out in a split second, then firing, switching weapons, then zooming in again etc etc.. You people want the "I Win" button.

The reason people quickswitch is not to speed up their awp shooting. You're either delusional or lying because (pre-awp-cripple) you shot at exactly the same rate when you fired regularly and when you quickswitched. The reason behind the quickswitch is to:



-Move faster between shots

-Get a better idea of your surroundings.

doesnt eanybody else use the quick switch to zoom out fo the sniper zoom faster?? instead of right clicking twice?

[RaptorRage]

Yeah the AWP/Scout deploy animations don't even need to be replaced, they could just be slowed down a bit to match the new time it takes before being able to scope or fire.

THANKS @ VALVE, i wouldnt have thought they actually read their forum at all. good thing they kept the awp change, now im back at 1.6

[Deletable_Man]

I thought the new headshot sprites were neat, but it doesn't really matter. The crosshair is great. I got over the awp delay after about 10 minutes of using the awp. It's not much harder, you just have to use a bit more sense. I know that can be hard for some of you awp fans. Anyhow, I enjoy little changes to CS (and CZ) from time to time. It keeps the game fresh.

Errr, wouldn't that be the reason to buy CZ? I realize proving grounds has the only CZ league so far, but I'm assuming its going to get more popular for this very reason, hello CAL?

PLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEASE CLIFFEE

I can run around and rambo with the AWP just as bad in public servers before this patch was released. I don't really think the awp whoring will stop at all. All the delay does is ruin my ability to defend myself if Im already being sprayed at. Now, when Im being shot and I try to shoot back with the awp, Im pretty much dead because it takes 2 seconds for my gun to even shoot.



Secondly, obviously if you were any good with the awp, then you wouldn't really like the change. Its only the people who could never use the awp effectively that are all for this change. The people who have come to love using it, are the ones who feel screwed.



I can play either way, and will still continue to play, but I dont think this change is helping things at all. If anything its just taking a great weapon and making it less enjoyable/reliable.



Whatever the case, cs still owns
