I don't want to beat a dead horse here - I totally see what you're saying about whether or not a LAW has a place in CS. Only time will tell, and admins have power over it at the end of the day. I've played CZ and haven't had a problem with the LAW at all. It didn't take away from the gameplay, and spamming just didn't happen - you'd be stupid to for a whole bunch of reasons. Anyway, as I said, only time will tell how it ends up affecting the game. Those who've seen it so far tend to like it, so that bodes well.



"or you can have realism and have the LAW do no damage unless it hits an actual person."



I'd like to see footage of this miraculous weapon that can destroy a tank but won't harm bystanders! Come on, if a LAW detonated anywhere near you in RL, you wouldn't be whistling a happy tune, unless it was out of the back of your neck... :P

For those complaining that CS:CZ is just a dressed up version of CS, don't panic.



1) it is

2) there'll be a patch to "upgrade" CS with CZ weapons, but you have to play on CZ servers to use those features, otherwise its regular CS (no famas, no galil, no molotov etc)



I'm going to wait and see on the LAW. I'd love to have some positive proof of Crinity (my apologies but I have no idea who he is). I'm more excited in molotov's, sorta. Like a flashbang/HE combination. Keep away + mess up. LAW will be awesome for firing into a tight camped chokepoint.



I wonder if LAW will damage people through walls like HE's.

[Crinity]

Just to clarify Cantide, I'm one of the mappers on the team. The Molotov ends up working more like a smoke grenade that does damage - it blocks visibility as well as making it harder to use a route that is "blocked" by the flames. It also has the benefit of lighting up the area that it lands in, so it also acts in a similar way to a flare. Expect it to be very handy strategically :)

[enter560]

if anything there should be trip-mines in cs.

[Eagle225]

i cant tell you how frustrating it is to have half or your team taken out by a camping n00b with an assault rifle or whatever.....but i cant imagin how damn enfuriating it will be to have half your team taken out by a camping n00b with a law in cz.....sheesh i hope they can lock it or something in servers

[Eagle225]

assuming of course randy makes it like in black hawk down or whatever hollywood moovie he seen with ppl fireing laws at ppl and having big succes like bazooka or something

[Eagle225]

im thinkin about it....i post alot....The law is a loose/loose situation for evreyone,if they put a high price,the winning team will get laws while the loosing one will bu smgs or shotguns or whatever n the winners will rocket the loosers to hell,if its low priced evrey1 gets one n cs becomes a rocketfest,if the damage is unrealistic to a laws real effect its gonna suck,if its realistic,its gonna be as useless as the beretta elites so i think they should drop the law for good

[Stiffer]

Biertje?

[counter?]

I thought counter strike was about skill... shooting a law is not skill. I liked it cause it was hard to kill someone not like qauke. besides a LAW is used for veichals it deos jack to people it is ment for penitartion. a moltov i have made one it is hell and also gas grenades damn i just wanted alot of weapons. THE ONE THING THAT SUCKS IS RIOT SHIELDS.....TERROIST DONT CARRY STICKS A DAMN AK47 WOULD PUNCH 5 HOLES IN IT.......also i really like it but SOME PEOPLE FORGET WHAT COUNTER STRIKE IS ABOUT IT IS GREAT NOW JUST ADD MORE WEAPONS AND DIFFERNT MISSONS SENARIOS....BUT I THINK IT WILL BE OKAY THANKS

[counter?]

IF YOU WANT THE LAW GO PLAY FLASH POINT......

[Dirty devil]

Is there any way to be a CS:CZ beta tester?

[ElfMagic]

I was wondering if anyone has asked Gearbox if they will be correcting any of the hitbox issues identified with CS. I know there are other major bugs like grenade damage through walls, and flashbangs, and shotgun pellet spreads, etc. etc. etc. The hitbox issue has always been a problem found in CS and never fully fixed yet though improved through its releases. It'd be interesting to find out if the modeling and its hitboxes and aiming code will be carried onto CS:CZ with the same faults. Even some of the other bugs if they'll be fixed to provide a more realistic gameplay.



I'm not putting down the mod because its an unbelievable achievement, but as money is a factor for CS:CZ it'd be interesting to find out that these issues can now be addressed if not already.

[MrSmiles]

I like the look of CZ but i dont want no rocket launchers they just annoy the shit out of you, I like the riot shield thingies they look cool ;-)
