More 1.4 Thoughts

[CSN NewsBot]

The gods or irony have stuck again, as we present another 1.4 preview from some tester.

I have been selected to beta test CS 1.4 and must say I'm impressed with the new additions, mostly spectator however. The map overview is a very nice feature BUT will it work with custom maps? I have not found or heard any information about it. I'm sure map developers will need to consider this at some point.



The bunny hop "fix" is a nice idea but it will change your game. No more jumping around corners sprayin' and prayin' cause when you land, you will not have the ability to move very quickly. I found myself several times jumping and firing around corners, let's just say I learn fast and stopped doing it!!! Was bunny hopping a HUGE issue that it needed to be addressed?



My BIG question, why rename the weapons without changing any of them?

(CS-Nation does not credit those who sent us information for their own protection.)

Obviously this fellow doesn't play CS.

I think the reason is this, Valve are not allowed to sell the game with the TM. Gun names but they are allowed to let it be downloaded for free :)

I think the retail version has the same issue.

If it really bothers ya you can simply edit the txt file with the names in it.

Oh, i am really looking forward to the so called "bunny-hopping-fix"

I nearly play "sniper-only" and if the enemy will stuck a moment after jumping, or better, won't jump it is a lot easier to hit him.

Ever tried to get from the main door to the bomb place on de_aztec without jumping (as T), and a sniper camps near the bridge?

With "bunny-hopping" there is a little chance to reach the BP, but if you just run straight ...

Yes, i am looking forward to it.

Well I can still jump around a corner and kill someone. I don't know wtf this idiot is talking about. I can still jump and shoot so obviously bunnyhopping isn't gone. Just cause I can't do it repeatedly doesn't mean it has lost it's effectiveness!

[ZeroByte]

Whew. Thanks for that reassurance Sneak. Jumping around corners is one tactic I don't think I can live without.

[azure.]

So Sneaky, your saying that if I jump one time there is no slowing down? Like say you jump around a corner into a crouch, are you slowed for a split second before you can move again? Or does it have to be a couple jumps in a row before it begins to slow you?



If we can still move the same as we always did after just one jump, I have no problem with this new "fix". In fact I would then view it as a good thing.

[Sneaky]

Actually yes you do slow down and it's best to go into a crouch after landing to make yourself harder to hit. If you try to jump twice in a row the 2nd one will basically be almost up and down.



I'm sayin if you move up to an extrance with someone waiting for you on the other side. Then you can run up and jump landing basically in the middle and crouch and fire. BTW the pause is a full second.

I am going to release a fix for the weapons names shortly after cs1.4 comes out. And I am pretty sure lots of coders can easily change it back... all I wanna see though if it would interfears with the multiplayer game, but i think not...



Anyways, although I love bunnyhopping, I am glad that they did something about it because poor people get capped while safely hiding in a corner like in the bombsite on de_dust.

CS will always rule no matter what, its just people will get used to it in a short time...



Ok kids now go get owned ...

[L0stAngel]

I think that this change has it's good and bad points........although I have used jumping while firing......I think I will like it due to the fact that I snipe second most....and I can get those people that jump and get 'stuck' a bit. :)

[-m0o.Rob-]

I welcome this change, will take out some of the stupidly lucky/unlucky jumping shooting.

CS was better before valve started to take over cause they are greedy and need to milk the HL engine for all the cash it can give them

Which .txt file holds all the weapon names ? I want the real names, but I have no idea where to d/load the real .txt file.
