Steam & 1.6 BETA To Update

[abel]

Awesome, I wasn't sure what was exactly causing the fall damage being nullfied when you had the shield when I first found it right before I posted, I just thought it happened all the time. Glad they fixe dthe bugs tho

[SpOokySniper]

theyre not releasing steam to everyone, theyre just simply releasing a patch for us. (i think)

riot shield should reduce damage you take, not completly stop everything. There just gonna be idiots hiding in corners with riot shields or some other shit.

Can you still use ALL SEEING EYE to connect to servers in 1.6?

First of all, you can still be damaged with a grenade when you have the shield. Second, what is net_graph 0, 1, 2, 3 and Third, when the hell is the official release? Ballpark, anything. Don't say never or (some #) of years.

ofcoarse you can still nade him, but its still dumb. know you have to nade every ct with riotshield in order to kill them?

If you had actually played the beta, JoNRoD, you would realize that your comments seem incredibly stupid to those of us who have. The shield is definitely an interesting addition to CS, but it does not make the person invulnerable. Sure, while they're holding still, crouched, and deployed, you can't shoot them from straight on at a distance.



Currently, most shield users get rushed by people using assault rifles, who then either circle-strafe and kill the shielded enemy, or jump and fire into the enemy's head. More often than not, rushing an enemy who's using the shield frightens them, and they'll start trying to run away. As soon as they do so, they're exposed, and it's not terribly hard to pick them off.



In other words, shut up until you know what you're talking about.

Second, what is net_graph 0, 1, 2, 3

net_graph is a command you can type in your console (followed by a number) which will display certain information in a small chart. For example, net_graph 3 gives stats on ping, packets sent/received, loss, choke, and FPS. This is not new to CS1.6, in case you were wondering. Games like Quake III also have similar commands to display, in various forms, the network activity, so it's not an unheard of feature.



The problem with CS1.6b is that, for some reason, net_graph statistics are drawn before the rendered image of the CS world is displayed on your screen. This means that it gets covered up. While in free-roaming spectator mode, you can fly outside of the map, to an area where the map's polygons are no longer being drawn. At this point, there will be nothing to draw over the net_graph statistics, and you can then see them. The same bug affects "echo" command functionality. No word on if/when this will be fixed, but hopefully it will be addressed. Chances are, it's just a side effect of the move to VGUI2, I'd guess.



As far as the fixes go, it's good to see a few of these bugs getting resolved. Beta testing really is fun, as a lot of the players are more willing to just try things out, instead of being so focused on getting their frags up. An entire team skywalking on de_dust with riot shields was a sight to behold!

wow your dumb...ive already played beta. Im commenting on when its updated the bullets will not penetrate the shield under any situation.

[metallimyers]

So no news as to when (a ballpark figure) the official release will be? I am not lucky enough to be a beta or BETA (which ever) tester and I am dying to try out that riot shield to slow down those awp whores like JoNRoD.

I'm not sure but i think Steam and CS are updated to the new version. when loading Steam, it says that Steam is now Version 3 and it currently downloading Platform.dll v3, i think it's the new update guys!

awp owns badly...but ak is still my fav

[nadomola]
