cs 1.6: hands-on

We wouldn't know whether the idea of giving 3 frags to the one who plants or defuses the bomb will work until we played the game.It sounds promising to me because this idea might bring cs back to its intended genre.You know cs is getting more like a deathmatch based game than a team-based game.Players are more concern about their frags and oftenly to the extend of forgetting their main objectives.For instance,some players would rather to win the game by eliminating their opposition than completing their objective by planting and guarding the bomb to ensure the bomb destroys its target.Many players do that because they will get nothing other than some cash which is not very appealing to them.Instead,players will find it more benificial to kill their opponents because they will get frags by doing so.All these will change if this new idea is implemented.There is nothing I can do now but to wait until the release and hope for the best.Once again I have to say that this is a great idea and it is worthwhile to try in this upcoming beta.After all,every ideas have to go though trials and hey,this is a beta.

This is only my opinion.If you find it wrong somewhere please comment on it.

How do u reload your handgun whilst holding the shield?

All of that sounds/looks good to me except the scoreboard changes, wtf did they get that idea? Not only does it suck for matches, but it also sucks for pubs.

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.

Yeah i agree that CS is bogged down, but one new female model per team would be very cool.

I dont mind waiting for a retail version..CZ.



Although CS has many young people that play and can be rude, its not just a kids game. And girls get hooked on the gameplay just like guys. I happen to think more girls playing would help us have less tolerance for excessive rude behavior rather perpetuate it.



Conter-Strike having a way to integrate females more into the game would rock. Thats a huge target market...why not?

I really dont thinks its too late for anything at all.

if the frags get updated when someone kills someone..then all you have to do is use this equation to find out how many players are left



x = players on the opposing team



f_i = initial frags at start round for your team



f_f = final frags at end of round for your team



x - (f_f - f_i) = players left to kill



im not sure how players joining in the middle of the round will appear though... but that might add some in accuracy.. if you can write a program that processes the console... bingo...



wow. annoying.

That is one good question and I have never thought of that before.Maybe you'll put the shield aside while reloading.Again,this will leave you vulnerable to attack(s).

let's hope VALEVe backs-off alot of these changes...

[MikeJ]

hahahahahaha

lol

i hate to be too sexist, but have u ever seen a female terrorist/ct in any movies? even if you want naked chicks in your cs, you can still download skins...

[soulcardiac]

I think the new C-S is going to be great. The addition of new guns has been missed for a while now and as for the the not being able to see who's dead on the other team? It's just like the old days (I think). As a CT you'll be wary of defusing the bomb instantly and will have to look about first, and this is probably better but I suppose we'll just have to wait and see. Airstrip looks brilliant, and if its only half as good as Aztec it'll be worth playing. Anyway the 3 frags for bombing/defusing may get a bit annoying because there may be arguments over who'll do it. That's all I can think of for the moment. Nice article, certainly gave me a good impression. Bye.

#15, is that u lock? sup! btw, i do agree about alot of the changes, though i think the removal of knowing whos dead will make things a little more interesting in league play.



p.s. the +3 frag idea = WORST EVAR!! all it does is invite bickering over who defuses and such and who plants (undoubtedly we all know there will be llamas.)

Because it's stupid and makes no sense whatsoever. Try to keep up.

actually it does make sense: it ads some tension to the rounds. with the scoreboard as it is you always know what to expect from the enemy, now you won't. I think its good: more CS less quake.

Undoubtedly eh? The three frags idea isnt the worst ever. Thats probably reserved for the changing/keeping of cs_estate.
