and when shield buying is enabled - none of them buy shields, I bought the shields and dropped them so they'd use em.

Would those bots happen to be on the Terrorist team?

if only one of these custom knives exists how does everybody get one? it's too flashy for a CT and too expensive for a T and it's butt ugly. if you want to make the knife a more interesting weapon in CS how about different models for Ts and CTs: Ts would have a stiletto or switchblade while CTs would have the rambo or bayonet. unless it's a fairly plain model its hard to "believe" every player has the same one.

Exactly what I thought.



Oh, and I love how those guys in strider knives pics are holding both a rifle and a knife at the same time... that's a great idea, if you are able to fire a gun with one hand and are prepared to fight hand-to-hand at the same time you are shooting at someone. Good luck with that. :P

the counter-strike knife belongs in the jungle, also CTs and T's should have diffrent knifes. More realistic.

Actually I always thought it'd be a good idea to be able to do something like that in CS... not with rifles though, just like, knife in one hand and a pistol in the other.



Oh, and nice to see the text ain't that messed up or anything :) Had me worried for awhile.

[ja]2ev]

I'm not seeing an issue with the regular text...it's the help text that's frigging huge, but I always turn it off.

Big help text might be good for the first timers - nothing like having "YOU HAVE SPOTTED AN ENEMY- SHOOT AT HIM!" or "THIS IS A BOMB SITE - PLANT HERE. IF YOU DO NOT YOU ARE A MORON" flash up across half the screen to force feed the lessons into some new person's head.



Question: anyone know if the scope is fixed for all the resolutions??

by the way here is a direct comparison of CS 1.6 text with CS 1.5. All images scaled down to 800x600 (sept the low rez shot) so they would appear as close to how it would look on an average sized monitor.



CS 1.5 @ 1600x1200

CS 1.6 @ 1600x1200

CS 1.6 @ 640x480



Btw ignore my gun model in the 1.5 shot i have some crazy bug when i start a LAN server it loads the half-life death match models, i use default models in CS.

Why is the text like that?? when i run at 1600*1200 the letters go over each other.. cant read a damn thing... Reinstall? My screen is a 17 inches.. (think that its called that in English..)

[BoNey]

Hey, I dunno if anyone else noticed it, but it's raining in Aztec.. I can see the the rain drops splashing on the ground too. Wonder if that'll increase the load on your PC?

[efficient]

wo0t wo0t, im da one who submitted the screenshots. =) Im famous now. Maybe even get to work for rizzuh =o

[GriffinMouse]

Yeah, I`ll vote for "too flashy for CS" on the new knife model.

But what about the anims?

I have yet to see an upward held knife model

with satisfactory animations..



And as much as it DOESN`T matter, I`d wager that its more

practical to hold a knife DOWNWARDS ala the current knife model,

if you`re intent on doing some damage that is..

(I`m not going to elaborate on the subject, seeing as i don`t have

any practical experience on it)



ps. goddamn my english! >_<

[yizak`]

I think the new model looks cool, kinda flashy, but it does work.



I think that some may even just copy the old knife .mdl files and replace it, for all those people who fell in love with the 1.5 knife.



P.S. I didn't read all the comments, but is there going to be new actions? Like will it change the way to "slash" or "stab"?

[Hiro]

all that information is interesting and all, it's just too bad that the knife is absolutely fugly. it's simply terrible.

[Jason X]

Well -- as a matter of fact -- NO



I decided to test this BOTS BUYING SHIELDS OUT.



I set the start money to max, I set the bots for PISTOLS and SHIELDS only.



no bots had shields -- I had to buy the shields for them.



(and they are pretty fuckign stupid on assault)

yeah i posted this a few days ago in the 1.6 beta comments. (about this knife that is)

I don't mind the knife that much, although it does seem a bit bizarre to have every CT and Terrorist wielding what seems like an ultra custom, one-of-a-kind knife. It does look nice though, and I don't mind something new, in fact I think all of the default weapon models could use a makeover over time.



But the slash animation looks downright wacky. Looks more like a slapping motion than a slash. If I were trying to kill someone, I probably wouldn't be trying to slap them with my knife. Sorta goofy animation, but nice knife.

well this time a slash DOES look like a slash! the old cs knife would make a stabbing motion no matter if it was a stab or slash, this time the animations look correct and reflect well on the knife's power.

It's just a silly cow moo moo that "it's out of place", "it's too flashy fantasy model" etc. hahahahhaaa, silly you, little boys in the park, mom mom, dinner's ready hon, what game you playing son?..

lol, how true.

I don't mind the knife, because I see no point in Criticizing everything VALVe does with CS. Alot of you need to stop being critics and realise that Your opinion means Jack Shit to VALVE, also the community doesn't care about whether or not "STEAM IS TEH SUXXORZ LOLOLOL" or "LOL TEH KNIFE IS UGLY LIEK A BIG GREEN TROUT ROFFLE".



Give it a rest.

well i think valve is very much affected by the community, they are releasing all this free stuff because of the massive online community CS has created. but its true what u said about them not listening to silly teenage schoolboy criticisms which are like a menstrual cycle appearing every time a new release is upon us.

efficient wrote..

Did anyone ever notice that they also redone the scout sound??? It has more punch to it, which makes it sound very powerful. I love the new scout sound, too bad they didn't post that in the changelog. Oh, and I've been having this problem. Any server with amx stats, is it just me or is the server stats text hella bigger(the one that shows up on your screen)???? Can't see a damn thing.

cool , i havnt tried the scout yet, and ive found the deagle a lot more accurate now! especially while running.

the opaque text on screen is a lot bigger and i hope admin mod wont abuse it.

I like the new knife, the stab, when it hits, looks like your stealing a kidney.



I think that he released this because there was a load of people saying "when do special forces carry jungle knifes". Hes just trying to prove something.



I don't really like the draw animation, its confusing 0_o

lol funny stealing kidney comment

the draw animation does get in the way of the screen, and im surprised valve havnt altered the m3 shotgun animation so it doesnt block the entire screen when reloading etc...

and pls valve, change the W/P models :)

how do u get your TERRORISTS WIN text white like that? mine is yellow.

ukHazard wrote..

Holding the knife down is useless, unless you're remaking the Psycho shower scene anyway! Thats why people hold knives up to cut something...

yes but i thought special forces hold it downwards to that it is harder to be kicked out of their hand and for making cutting throats from behind easier. (silent kills)

CmdrFlesh wrote..

Anyone else noticed that when playing at 800*600 the great new scalable text fonts transform into unreadable pixel hieroglyphs? Oh and the knife is OK for me... it looks a little too fancy-cool-killer-like, but the original one looks like a (over-sized and way too dangerous) kitchen knife.

well its 2003 mate, its about time you stopped playing in 800x600 resolution and ventured into the modern world with higher resolutions.

You should be slapped, with the knife. (pun intent) There is aboslutely nothing wrong with this knife model its just knew to you. I been using it since it came out and i grew to like it. BTW: you should have your comment deleted for shear disrespect. Time and effort went into this model and even more than that the model was released out of respect for the guy who in real life invented it. PSHAW. !!!!!11

Softy's 24/7 Fraggin wrote..

the most realistic feature of CS is it's weapons and the new knife does not fit in.

cs weapons are far from realistic. their physics are not realistic (guns dont recoil like that), even their names now are not realistic (ES-567?), hell, even the MODELs are not realistic (ejector ports on wrong side)

Those look like weekend warriors

funny thing is, theyre all holding it downwards !

think youll find its the cs beta 6 (or thereabouts) knife model.

appended @ [time="1055360082"]

you guys all know i suppose that the slicing attack of the knife (primary) reaches much further out than the stabbing attack (secondary fire), about 2-3 times further it seems in tests. now if u look on the current cs 1.5 knife, when u slice, it doesnt look like its going far, BUT with the new knife, slicing DOES look lik eits reaching out real far.



seriously guys/gals, youll get used to it. (just play knife-only with some bots and youll be used to it in no time.)

[jo0ni3]

I like the old knife better... simple yet not too fancy. And this... seems more like for collection and display... not to be actually used in combat. However, if that camo (or is it??) wasn't there, I would have liked it.
