    having the best ratio (which I think they should remove completely).
    The day this happens will sadly never come because they know they'd lose 99.9% of the players. On a happier note, this might mean the death of the "32-5 ration: you're a cheater. Please burn in hell" and the death of cheaters too.



    Remember, people (esp. cheaters) in pubs play for frags. Pubs represent the vast majority of servers. The vast majority of servers decide on the fate of the game.

      hey this will effect league matches now. In CS League matches, matches will be played diffrently now. "Save rounds" might not have to happen anymore. you can use the new terrorist gun or gail or riot shield. I can't wait to see the new strats clans will be using with these new items. Pubs are ment for fragging there not ment for objctives. Most of the people who play in pubs just frag and try to get a good score. They don't care about the dam objectives. Maybe now it will force them to follow them.. we shall <3

        Again, scoreboard change is a baaaaad idea. And you thought there are a lot of campers now?? Hah. You just wait. When there is only 1 CT left in De_Dust, you are gonna see 6 Ts still camping around their side of the map because they don't know how many people is left and waste everyones time.



        While with a scoreboard however, some of them will rush around looking for that one CT because they know they got numbers.

          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
          If you thin that Steam is just a launcher and the CS 1.x series (or even HL updates) are the only project in VALVe you're a tit. There's more than 50 ppl working at VALVe... They must be doing super duper secret interesting things in there...

            It's too bad that they had to basically bribe people that play the game wrong into doing it right, but..
            yeah thats the problem i have with it. Giving frags...thats the problem to begin with, frag greed..why give in to it?

            This a function of an admin mod plug-in. It hurts..and hostie saves/kills; No bouns or pentalty? I cant wait to get tk'd so someone else can defuse...that'll be great.

              Friends..i dunno if im gonna use it. I just don't care about uneeded superfluities when nuke looks like puke and needs to be addressed..in my opinion worse than aztec or inferno did...i just dont get it.

              sof2? oook

              so which is it..u really think cs should be void of graphic improvements?..or that graphic improvements reduce cs game play?..or what?? the HL engine is impossible to improve on? Im confused. Listen to yourself..
              "I just don't care about uneeded superfluities"



              Really? Well that's exactly what texture improvements are. I'm not saying that Valve shouldn't improve the graphics, that's foolish. What I am saying is that if it's a choice between new graphics or new features I'd have new features.

                nah, actually u were putting words in my mouth and what youre saying is that im a wanker and need to go play sof2 if i want better graphics..

                I see graphic improvements as a natural and necessary progression in 3d gaming. You remember when you got your pubes, street? Were you thinking "man Im growing here, but i'd trade these pubes for a new mountain bike" new textures on awesome old maps beats tracker in my book.nuff said

                  hmmm



                  Great stuff... Sheer brillaint speaking of the Preview that is.. and kinda 1.6.



                  Firstly I will say "About dam time getting frag points for Defuse/Planting bomb". This was really needed from the start in my opinion.

                  Firstly its gonna add such a twist to each round now and more challenging as Planter will deem to plant and a Defuser will deem to defuse.

                  Brillaint stuff, can not wait to just see this feature.



                  hmm Smoke grenades.. These need tweaking, I do not get performance loss but 85% of CS'ers do when using Smoke Nades... notice the limition of people using them in servers? Thats because some people get 10FPS when its on screen drawing.



                  Maps.. Sounds brillaint just wish their was more .. also anymore detaila bout this MASK texture thing? New models for hands sounds brillaint wonder if the glitches have been removed from the old ones......



                  Shrapnel I wish was addeded... I swear in early stages of CS there was a Shrapnel affect damage from Flash bangs and HE... I think that rocked and would be very great to re-add... it will give it more of that "ARRR A NADE!".



                  hmm all I can think of now at the moment, sounds great really cant wait to try this brillaint stuff.



                  P.S Guns look swell, about time we got some new ones :).



                  Regards

                      Did you read gamespy's preview:
                      But there's a reason Valve is referring to this as the Steam 2.0 beta: we experienced a hefty amount of snags, crashes, and bugs. It took us over an hour to properly install the Counter-Strike update, thanks two download timeouts and one mysterious crash. We also experienced numerous "game is not available" error messages, long load times, and the occasional freeze up. And two in-game crashes, one on a map change. But to be fair, the TFC update installed flawlessly in less than five minutes.
                      That rest of that article is right here.

                          I really like my weapon skins, seeing how they look 50x more realistic than the defaults. If in 1.7 you can not change anything but your config file then I would hope that someone takes a look at the skins and makes them better.
                          we will have the new CZ weapon skins when 1.7 comes out i assume...

                            It may be only those that purchase Condition Zero will have the visual enhancements for CS 1.7, while those that just download 1.7 for Half-Life or CS Retail will retain the standard models & textures.

                              i can't believe that people are whining about the inability to tell if someone is dead or not when a match is on (if i understand correctly). would you act the same if you knew there were four enemies alive or just one? no, you would act totally different. it encourages a more intellectual approach to the game and hopefully eliminates a bit of the "rush" mentality which causes a total lack of teamplay in most instances.
                              I totally agree with blastcow. What it does is mentally force you to count how many to people are killed on the other team if you wish to know how many people remain. Its sorta like card counting...Keeping track of who has died on the other team and your team (while im sure you can juz look at your own trusty radar to see who's alive on your team " Its gonna be interesting if your the only one on your team to know how many people are left on the other team since most ppl won't be keeping track of who's dead...

                                Still not getting an answer about the reload sequence whilst having the riot shield.. when u for ex have a usp and a riot shield and you reload , i mean u cant just drop the shield tp the ground , and you have to hold the shield with 1 hand you cant put it under your arm "wait guys im just gonna reload my usp, god damnit and jerk around" , i just dont get it , how will you reload :/ everything else seem pretty nice.
