cs 1.6: hands-on

[JaNkz]

the 3 frags for defusing/etc is designed for pubs, it's really going to screw matchplay up.

[MorphDesign]

(although I didn't try it with the Dual Berettas)

How you wanna try it with the duals if you can't buy it :P

Only ct's can buy the Shield



(ok ok if you grab it from the floor perhaps :P)

[Rhyzz]

Looks like some wicked changes have been made, the scoreboard change for alive players not being able to see dead enemies will make 1v1's in wars much more tense, and harder to predict an enemy.



Not sure about the 3 frags for planting/defusing, it will screw up a players frags in a war, and make shite players look good...if you get me.



New inferno textures look better, and im eagar to see what the shield can do on an ECO in the second round against MP5's...could be a new tactic for everyone, just as the glock rush is.



the glock power increase is stupid. 3 headshots is sufficient from a glock on a pistol round, increasing the power means that 5 glocks rushing at you is gonna be more difficult to take down.

Um, they have radios, you know...When someone takes one out, they report it. Maybe we'll have to do this to. SUCH a chore, huh? :|

Hello Can you say sarcasm. F#ck what a dick..

[SoBeR]

the new additions all suck.

[ukHazard]

Um, I think you will find in matches that frags dont mean a f'ing thing! However, the granting of more money really would screw up matches. This is why I can only see this new +3 frags thing in a good light.

CS is going to be unrecognizable in a few more updates, but oh well, as longs as it's fun.



Live players not seeing who is dead one the scoreboard sounds annoying because I have been used to seeing it for so long, but then again, oh well. I'll still download the BETA, even if part of the reason is for nostalgia.

[Dark_AngelAC]

Not being able to see who's dead and who's not is completely idiotic and frankly should never of been thought up. Having a scoreboard with who's dead and who's not was a helpful thing to have coz you can see how many of them were alive! This is the one thing that pi**es me off, but apart from that it looks quite good!

As the flames rain down, I have only this to say:



BETA.



Actually I have something else. The "three frags" thing is ace, but why doesn't it apply to rescuing hostages too?

[gemini]

the extra frags when defusing - bomb exploding is really good. I hope people on pubs will finally play some CS, en not go for a frag-fest.



I also like the scoreboard thing for the same reason.



there's just one thing: the galil sounds a weeeeeeee bit too cheap, no?

[GoS | Leetcard2]

Omg this rules.but I h8 the hands 4 cs..the hands r only right if u use the guerilla skin..and the guerilla is so damn fat..that u just might wear a plz kill me Im a fat n00b sweater!

Counter-Strike 1.6 will be the last "traditional update" to Counter-Strike. We previously believed (and stated, based on older interviews) that 1.6 would see the integration of Steam and CS/HL, but that will happen for CS 1.7.

If this statement is true then this will be a huge hit to the skinning community. Seeing how with steam you can't change pretty much anything except your config file. I for one hated steam in general seeing how you no longer have control of your files, they do. The only plus to the whole thing is the cheating aspect I suppose.



O and btw the not "SEEING DEAD PEOLPE" is ultra gay & I think hostage moving should moving by T's should go back in.

[Tree Wizard]

Im not sure if this +3 frags for bomb defusal/planting is good or bad. On the one side its bad because I forsee a lot of 'GIMME THE GODDAMN BOMB ASSHOLE' at the start of each round but I guess it promotes less frag whoring, or maybe more frag whoring.



What was the question again ?
