New Knife Info

[V1P3R]

Edited by [user="2442"] @ [time="1055363379"]

I don't know if anyone else notices but on http://www.striderknives.com/html/thumbs.html there are 10 different pictures of guys holding knives. 8/10 of them are holding the knife with it pointed down.... Also, I hope this isn't a prelude to Valve offering companies the chance to advertise in levels and such. Imagine this.



Erik Johnson "With certain maps like de_dust and de_actec being the most played maps ever, we at Valve, understand it may be in a companies interest to place ads on these maps with a banner of some sort. Starting next week, if you are a company interested in having your banner or advertisement being displayed in any of the Counter-Strike maps, the cost is $10,000* per-space. An example would be your companies name, phone number, website address, and services offered. These banners will be placed throughout the map for all players of Counter-Strike to see. If you want your banner to be placed in a chokepoint, add $5000 to your placement fee. Here is an example of a client's previous banner: http://daedal.n3w.net/cs_ad.jpg



These ad contracts last exactly 180 days from the day of ad placements. After which you can continually renew your term for a discounted 25% off the initial fee.



*(Setup fees do apply as mappers need to be in constant supply of hot-pockets and hookers while the maps are being worked on)."

your explanation looks plausible, but i dont think valve is that strapped for cash to sell out like that. wouldnt you love to see GATOR ads everywhere, or most likeley im sure gayspy industries will be the first to advertise there. howveer if someone offered you millions, it could be difficult to say no.

im sure in the far distant future we could have advertising campaigns like that. ever see 'minority report' ? the targetted advertising there is enough to drive anyone insane.

so now people dont want scaled text!

heheh

I personally think the font makes it l a little like an easy to read book anyways.

The knifes sux bigtime, n Eric n his buddies are probably pissing themselves with laughter, it is like a big slappy green trout!

Scaled text is good. But think about it, at 1024x768, the text is normal size, its proportioned correctly to the screen. At 1600x1200 is WAYYYYY out of proportion. It should be just a little bit bigger than at 1024x768 so you can read it. In 1.5 I use NextWish's font fix, i believe at the largest setting and its absolutely perfect, it doesn't make the text look like shit and it's still readable.



Valve simply needs to add a command to allow you to adjust the scaling ratio or just turn it off completely but control the font size you want itself without the game calculating anything to do w/ font sizes.

[stooopid]

hmm... sounds like valve is more interested in knives than it is in releasing non-stupid fonts. oh well...

[MikeJ]

the CS community gets me everytime. for fucking YEARS people have been complaining about the current HL font because it's impossible to see at higher resolutions. valve finnaly does something about it and guess what, people still bitch. It's just funny.

choose which one is easier to read. hint: the answer is the first one

[Dirk]

It still looks like ass though.

[MikeJ]

of course it does. just like every other new update to CS has been frowned upon for the first couple of weeks until everyone adjust and forget that it was ever any different.

[orphy]

They should outline the text rather than do a shadow. It's impossible to read against dust, argh.

[KhAoS]

good lord you people are complaining about a font. A FREAKIN FONT! Is it so distracting and horrible that your going to quit CS, or that your skill will lower because of it?
