      I dont want a new gun, i want new textures on de_nuke and cs_militia. I'd like more player model options..i want tits..i want female player models..voice commands..girls play games too.

      We all have atleast 3 instant messengers already. Who wants to be im'd while in this game? Not me.
      The last thing C-S needs is more bloat by adding more models -- it's already freaking huge. I pity C-S players on dial-up. Besides, we're playing a free mod here; they have to hold out something for retail CZ. I've no objections to female characters, but I think it's a bit late for that. (Besides, it would probably just further encourage the juvenile horomone-fest that is Counter-Strike; I have all the respect in the world for women who play for putting up with the crap on pubs that they do. I surely couldn't.) I do agree that the last thing we need is more maps (seeing as how I haven't cared for most of the recent official maps); just fix the ones we already have.



      I used Tracker quite a bit during the early STEAM beta testing, and I must say that it's pretty darn neat. I'm lucky enough to have multiple PCs where I can be doing other things while playing Counter-Strike, but not everyone has that advantage. Not to mention the fact that I'm now horribly addicted to Xbox Live gaming, and being able to track friends across different games in real-time is quite nice. I hope Tracker does the same once more titles are delivered via STEAM.

        Whats going on?



        I'm impressed with the bug fixes esp the HLTV, but I'm kind of half and half here...i feel like a tool and these updates on a grand scale are a big joke, but am very much looking forward to them..



        Valve/gearbox/ritual..and whoever else may have their reasons for when and why they do things, but it seems the guys at the top are pulling our chain a bit. They are in the position to set the standard graphically across the online gaming board with cz. I'm not saying push the gf4 to the edge, but come on.

        They most definetly could have this game better than it is now....

        Who feels like they need checkers to play when they are dead? Not I!



        And rizzuh seemed to be trying kinda hard to come up with good things to say. I appreciate the honesty.

        Is it just me or is the de_airstrip map review worse than havana's AND chateau's were?



        This was a break through game as far as im concerned. It seems despite the all the delays and the 10,000s of ppl interested in making CS better, 1.6, 1.7...CZ will fall short to say the least. 1.6 looks fun, but it does not resemble a justifiable follow through. The online game of games deserves better. Someone set me straight?

        You missed the point of Friends I think. It saves you having to flip back to the desktop in order to keep in touch with your gaming pals; it is fully integrated with CS.

        And if you really feel like this:



        "I dont want a new gun, i want new textures on de_nuke and cs_militia. "



        Then you sir, are a wanker.

            Then you'll have to wait until the official 1.6 release, and you'll be outright screwed once 1.7 comes around (if it is, indeed, STEAM-only, as is being reported).



            Only thing I can tell you is to pray you can get a proxy working.

              Why is everybody complaining about the not seing dead guys on the scoreboard feature. It will be much easier/faster to see if there are any of the opposing forces left alive, i.e. when you're about to defuse.



              And secondly, A feature I would like to see is the ability to turn on some kinda wallhack-like feature in spectator mode. That way it would be much easier to spot the cheaters. It would probably be hard to do it so it can't get exploited, but it would be great though.

                  its sad, they are gonna ruin a good game. The 3 frags for planting the bomb and for defusing the bomb is so ridiculous. I wouldn't be surprised if a retard in a short yellow bus thought of that idea. As for the not showing opponents deaths in the scoreboard. GG for ruining a perfectly fine game. Each version just gets gayer and gayer. What will come in the next version? flying cows?

                    The two comments above highlight the confusion over the change to the score board. Some think that the scoreboard will show only those that are alive and no-one else. Others think that the scoreboard now doesn't tell you who is alive and who is dead.



                    Who's right?

                    And this highlights that some people are just plain stupid.

                      i am well aware of what friends does and i don't happen to think its that neat. Its clutter..I play with my cs framed now and can i.m. with ease. If Friends wanted to be friendly it would interface with irc.

                      If i'm in another server than my "home" im hiding from my buds for a breather.

                      !Yay! now i get to block and unblock ppl when all i wanna do is play CS. Not to mention an admin of a full ff server will now be riddled with "waa he teams wounded me..hes afk...help ..i need..we have to...i want..u suck"



                      I don't really mind a new gun. Although I don't want one because they should fix whats there first..awp could cost a bit more, umb should cost less...etc

                      maps? Nuke's layout is a work of art and its ugly as hell. Militia is as well. They could use a make over. And thats just the begining of things I feel could use some attention BEFORE they add new aspects to the game like new weapons and 3 frags for a defuse.



                      And yeah Im a full on wanker..thus my team [cLAW] cs:League of Advanced Wankers. How about you save the name calling for when youre dead and bored of looking at nuke textures.

                        The burst fire on the Glock should still work with the shield as its a thumb switch and doesn't require the other hand to toggle the secondary fire option. However the USP can't have its silencer used with the shield, as it requires the other hand to attach the silencer. Now the mystery is if the Dual Elites will work with the shield.



                        Either they can't work with the shield at all, or they will work with the shield using some funky animations (and imply extreme arm strength to be able to aim and fire a gun while also holding a shield in the same hand) or perhaps what could occur that might be pretty cool is if only one Beretta Elite can be used with the shield, and it thus reduces the clip ammo to 15 to account for just one pistol...



                        Hmm upon further thought, if the other hand can't be used while holding the shield, how can you reload the pistol? Does the shield get dropped when reloading? :\

                          I think that they should just fix the bugs in the game, bring out there new weapons/maps, make it more userfriendly, but dont go changing the way that the game plays, thats why people play it, cause they like the gameplay. When you go change things like giving people extra points for planting/defusing the bomb, and not being able to see which enemies are dead/alive just means that you are taking a chance of losing people in the community, ive been playing since the betas, i was excited about the new version, new guns and maps, but then you go and put in all this other crap and it just ruins it.

                          Thats just my opinion anyway.

                            Does using friends actually mean you got to have friends for it? Useless shit I thought it was an actually friend for me :'(

                              when will valve stop fricken updating CS?



                              these updates shouldnt take so damn long to do.. wow.. added barrel to glock.. woopie



                              it seems other software companies are taking tremendous advancements in technology with new engines and so forth..



                              valve continues to waste time tweaking glock accuracy? wow.. that must take long.. changing one variable..



                              and whats with wasting so much time overhauling a launcher program!! it adds NOTHING to the game.. they should have fixed the no sound problem and start working on something new



                              i hope valve can release something substantial to prove me wrong because these changes are somewhat amature

                                I'm digging the new console. "Friends" needs immediate Trillian support. And about this widescreen stuff, visual advantage over those who don't use it?

                                People who say this have taken the word "beta" and fucked it in the skull until it was a shattered shell of the blatant excuse for shitty decisions it once was. Dictionaries now have a picture of my left nut as a visual aid for the definition of the word.
