Valve made the cheat protection that is now in Half-Life officialy.



They updated Half-Life since it's release.



They even included TFC.



And eventually Counter-Strike.



And they also support the mod community to the fullest.



So before we start to whine let's think about all the stuff they did for the game...that they didn't have to do at all.



(As for the reason for posting this, 95% of the reason is to piss puffycloud off for being so damn on the money, the other 5% was because I was bored)

Isn't that how this whole mess got started? It's okay, though, because you haven't asked this question yet twice.

Damn...I was really looking forward to it. CS 1.5 just doesn't appels to me anymore. But probably better than releasing with bugs and hear complaints about it. I'm really looking forward to it! Especially FAMAS and the shield

[Mike Ditka is God!]

In other news, the temperature in hell remains unchanged.



Moving on to sports..

Yes,

They even included TFC.

they aquired the TF label and team from Quake2,

And eventually Counter-Strike.

they also aquired Counter-Strike. Please get this straight people, Valve didn't make Counter-Strike... they didn't even make it popular. The design and community made it popular, and Gooseman made Counter-Strike.



Valve is now furthering the progress and development of it, they by [very] far didn't make it.



And they have also aquired the DoD team; the same as above goes for the DoD team also.

They don't try to put bugs in the game. It's not like betas are a scavenger hunt to see who can find all the funny little bugs in the game. If there are bugs that they know exist then they're not going to just release it and sip on a cappuccino on the patio of their summer cottages in Venice Beach while 40 people crash because they tried to jump through the door running backwards with nightvision goggles.

How much software have you tested before? That's exactly what a BETA is... to find all the bugs you can before a piece of software is released retail (or in this case) to the masses.



You use the software to it's extent, and then some. You try to find all the bugs so that some unfourtunate bug doesn't creep into the CAL-i or CPL finals... (ahem... like the age old Nuke bug that screwed zEx over twice in CPL?)

I like CS the way it is now, I dont think we need any new additions. The mp5 is fantastic cheap weapon for the CTs to use before the colts. I'm probalby a big target now but yeah...

Agree, but they still have to get rid of all the bugs that they can find before releasing the beta. The last beta I did, de_torn almost 2 years ago, was mostly to see how it ran on a poorly set up pc. The map was pretty much finished and perfected, but obviously due to the nature of PC's some software runs better on particular setups. I'm sure that Valve would rather concentrate on killing these sort of issues than rushing out a knowingly buggy project, leaving a million and one people to complain about the same bug.

That's a delicious theory but also wasn't what I was talking about. If there are bugs that they know exist, they're going to fix them, not simply shrug it off and release it anyhow (which is one of the reasons "delays" exist). Betas are about finding bugs that the team DOESN'T know about, so that they can fix them.



I feel very sorry for zEx though ?
