CS 1.4 PARA

[rizzuh]

It's very accurate. Like the rifles that kill you.

Great... now everyone will bitch about how bad they hate Para pussies.. I don't use the thing , but I see plenty of people who are quite good with it already. No need to change it.

Akodz not to call u a newb or anything but the 5-7 gets 0wned by the usp anyday, anyrange. It's no small wonder the 5-7 is the least used pistol both in pub and clan servers. Just aim at a wall on the other side of a map and start shooting - the results are obvious.

then why do i own everyone else with a 5-7, during pistol only rounds?

Gee, I don't know, maybe u are playing on n00b servers. Ask anyone who can play worth a shit - buying a 5-7 instead of body armor or some nades is stupid and will get you owned on a good server. Feel free to check out my stats on www.meatbarn.com where I play under |Ay-2Y| Renaissance Man - - - I know what I'm talking about. Last week I went 7-0 on inferno (after 1 round, yes i killed 7 guys in the first round, 5 w/ usp, 2/ deagle).

The Para is a huge machine gun it's not going to have perfect accuracy :P I don't know why they would change that. I hope the Para doesnt become the AWP of CS 1.4

the size of a weapon has nothing to do with it's accuracy.

Uhhh what? First, heavier weapons have less recoil. Some heavy weapons also have an inner barrell which absorbs most of the recoil (M2 .50 cal machine gun, for example).



Longer guns are also usually more accurate... longer barrell generally equals greater accuracy... hence the long ass AWP and G3/SG1.



As for fearing the M249... well the problem is that bullets in CS really don't do much damage, or have long-lasting ill effects for wounded soldiers (limping, accuracy problems, etc.). In real life, the SAW would be feared for its seemingly limitless clip size and high rate of fire. Its very presence causes the enemy to become suppressed or pinned down in an area. This is its purpose. The higher accuracy of the rifles is for taking down enemies directly.



The problem with CS is that guns do less damage, but they still have relatively realistic shot patterns. You can spray 5 rounds at a guy in CS with the SAW, and by the 3rd or 4th you're already missing. Even if all of them hit, he will probably still be alive... but probably only around 1 to 3 will actually hit (at average combat ranges). In real life, that first round is enough to cause an enemy casualty (incapacitated or dead). The SAW should be capable of keeping enemies from wanting to rush at it. For instance, a SAW should be able to single-handedly hold down the tunnell in dust. The enemy should FEAR going out into the open after it... so what's the weakness? Speed of course. The SAW weighs a lot, soldiers shouldn't be able to run as fast. Also, the SAW shouldn't be as accurate as the rifles, or it would defeat their purpose. It should be a SUPPRESIVE FIRE weapon, spraying wide, but not too much.



So, a compromise is in order - higher accuracy, or more damage. I think higher accuracy (or more precisely, lower recoil) would make things much more balanced.



There was nothing more frustrating than holding a SAW, aiming at a doorway in dust, holding fire and ripping loose with all of that firepower, only to be killed by stupid terrorist bastard with a desert eagle who ran right towards me through my hail of gunfire, jumped right into my face, shot and killed me, and lived.

Isn't that the way its always been?

CS is supposed to be realistic.

For the most part, anyway.

How many of you have played Counter-Strike since beta 1? beta 4?

The most fun I ever had in CS was in beta 4, after 4 the updated versions kept on getting worse and worse. 1.3 is the worst version I have tried yet, and thats becuase its becoming some stupid game like

UnrealTornement after playing Counter-Strike and never playing UT before I went 40-0 on a LAN why ? becuase its so BAD compared to Counter-Strike. Now I am hearing all sorts of stupid changes in 1.4 to make the game "more realistic" well, if you want to play a good game of counter-strike find a version of beta 4 Counter-Strike and rip it up. This is the worst news I have heard about cs "super accurate" guns, slow jumping, grenade launchers? uh.. sweet (stupidest thing I have ever heard). New guns wouldn't be soo bad I guess, no planting while your moving is gay.

And here are a few quotes for you loyal 1.4er fags.. taken from

www.counterstrikeleague.co.uk/cs1.4/steam.htm

- Have we asked anyone for a credit card? Has anyone paid for this service? Did we even ASK for a current CD key to prove you are an existing customer??? No. I will not get into more details about our direction until later as it has substantial impact on our future products, but be ready to listen. And more than anything, staying part of this beta will ensure you hear and see things before others do. hint hint $$$ rumur is $10 a month or something.



- One user is correct, there is a Steam dev team and a CS dev team, we happened to be ready for beta simultaneously. Also, I wanted a reason for people to try Steam out and providing CS1.4 early to Steam beta users would ensure that.



it isnt even cliffes game anymore.



And

- In the end Steam = better user experience... It's that simple, that's our motivation.



why would you make CS into a game almost exactly like, DoD, Firearms? When it is more popular than both of those games plus a few more COMBINED? I personally think the only good upgrade part to this whole thing is anti-cheats installed directly into Counter-Strike.



now your turn to bitch at me

[ShoNuff]

paying to play a "free" mod sux which ever way you look at it.

[Shadow-Dragon]

Para is only good for support anyone who can rush with it I take my hat off to you! Well it is pretty easy to get headshots with I use it in fy_iceworld and I almost get a headshot my first bullet!
