I would like to see certain commands - new & existing that don't already have it to be implemented by using a toggle system, 0 for no and 1 for yes. Just like in q2 you can set up your server to include certain weapons only, I wish that could be done in cs. (Which I believe is not possible with just cs, let me know if I'm wrong). If you don't want awm's then just set "awm 0" in your server.cfg (or for client side options, autoexec.cfg, which ever one applies to the given situation).



Why would you have to rely on something else like Admin-mod to do so? And why hard code something in, like fixing the auto pickup of weapons to on or off when it won't make everyone happy anyways? If people had a choice, then everyone would be happy (almost). They have the option of doing it their own way, just like the hud_fastswitch command for client side. It's better to toggle stuff, not to hard code it to one way or another......I know it may not be possible for some things, but can you plz try?



Also I think that by taking the repeated jumping out of the game may make cs not as fun as it should be. It's not a bug/cheat like the bunny hopping where you would increase your speed. Anyone could easily do it, so why is it so bad? It's not 'real' and it's 'annoying'. Well I don't think it makes cs deathmatchy. It only makes you harder to hit. They already put in the bullets slowing you down when you get hit. People want some way to lasso their opponent to not be able to move so that they can kill more easily and nobody can get away. They want to say "Get over here...I'm shooting you and you have no chance of getting away. haha I own you." If you can't get away, there is no skill involved and it levels the playing field for the newbies. Once you are caught you are probably dead meat, which will make you more cautious in not being seen (which may be a good thing OR a bad thing). But because people use it, that proves that it works to help keep you alive. I know people don't like it, but anyone could do it. Changing it to slow you down after every time you jump may make things more 'real' but I feel that it will be a trade-off. It will make it too boring to just mess around while rushing to the H in dust or just goofing around anytime at all. If I want to jump repeatedly while going somewhere, it should be my choice and now it's going to be lame cuz we won't be able to do that anymore.



Taking away little nuances like being able to jump around (and not slow down) while just goofing around or playing will slowly make things more bland. Eventually a lot the fun is sucked out and then you have a game that has very good LAN competition gameplay where messing around is not a good strategy nor smart to do, but then that's all you have. After a while it adds up. You take away certain little fun things to do that don't really need to be changed/'fixed' and it ruins the game. I like having things in that make cs be cs, not some other game. You want realism go for Rogue Spear. I think the jumping issue is not that big of a deal to complain about (trivial actually), since anyone can do it, it's a level playing field. I say leave it in, but I will have to try 1.4 first to really make up my mind to know what is better. I haven't played 1.4 yet, I can't wait........



Or it would rule if you could toggle the slowed down, repeated jumping thing, on the server side so there could be choice and people can go on servers that have whatever feature that they prefer. Probably not possible but it would be a lot cooler if it was.

yo



it is possible to set up ure server to only include some guns..i think its a plugin that u can get



i would also like to see more modes of play within the game (as_ , cs_ , de_ etc) more could be like u could have targets that u have to shoot within a certain time limit..and the one with the most hits at the end of the round is the winner )



just an idea :)...i know it wont get used but hey...thats life

I disagre with one of the suggestions a HELL of a lot the idea of having an easy to kick edition to cs1.4 would irratae me soo much. My reasons for this is because Admin mod although a gr8 tool for catching cheats gives n00b's the chance to kick Good players cause they find it an easy solutuion to get rid of the competition. a simple admin_vote_kick Kappy in console and bibi to ya fun game it really gets on my TITS when ya playing well hearing ppl and aticipating ppl moves even the odd shot through a wall or crate a n00b cries out cheat! and they all kick u. ive had this done to me several times even on paladin and C-D servers. Im not trying to act big headed by writing this but its a point that needs to be addressed

What problem 'bug' i'd like to see adressed is the strange box thingy in the upper left corner when you start a LAN server. I know, you only have to press esc and resume to get it away, but it bugs me none the less.



Get the frikkin hossies to move right in Italy dammit! I hate that annoying 'im stuck, help me' over a clearly straight pathway. I tried shooting them a lot, but that doesn't really help.



And yes, lower the price of the semi-auto sniperrifles. They're not too bad, but frikkin expensive. I always go for a shotty anytime (for sniping ofcourse!).



And the dude who adressed pushing other guys, that idea has its good sides and its bad sides.



Good: you can push AFK'ers, LAG'ers out of the way (and enemies of cliffs :)



Bad: You get gung-ho action heroes teammates who try to get to the action and push you out of your perfect aim. Somewhat of a blocking-like problem.



Got the idea? Good

[p!ge0n]

ya, i hate those gung-ho guys :P

[xyubnu3gy]

who said what about gung-ho dudes?

[Katana]

Hi yall,

Story 1: Yeh st00pid stuuuupid admins Im no cheater!!!

-kicked by console

Hi admin why did u just kick me? I think thats f4g. Is this a "server for permanently sucking CS players"?

-banned

Hmmz, they dont have any reason 2 do dis, lets join another server.



Story 2 (short version): This is the third time I got stuck (in my whole CS life) :'(.



Story 3: Dont mess with the jumping! As a soldier I had a real war.

3 men in front of me 2 with ak and 1 with a deagle. Where the hell are my friends?? But hey, I just didnt give a silly F*k and started jumping from left to right to right to the left to the right on and on, all over the field. Not even 1 afghan could hit meh. So I grabbed my glock and started aiming first the guys with ak. BAM BAM BAM BAM... UUUGH. BAM DANG Headshot. The guy wit deagle ran away so I started sniping with meh glock. BANG HS. Conclusion you can jump in real life so why not in CS?



Story 3: Hossies... Who uses them? 2 stupid... maybe fixed with the POD technology.



Story 4: Does any1 know a site where I can see the machette?



Hurt me more, MORE!!!

I'd like a new machine gun in adition to the 249, mybe the mg3 or alike, with higher rof but increased recoil, so that you would be forced to fire in bursts, and it would suck while you ran, that way it might be more of a supressing fire weapon than an all out blazing attack one.

[xyubnu3gy]

machine guns are actually supposed to be placed on a tripod. to make the machine gun more accurate people should be able to purchace a tripod.

[adam ksheer]

Why cant the different character's have different attributes

[xyubnu3gy]

then it would make the game unfair, people would pick the one with the best attribute. And you'd see a bunch of clone running around.



It is a good Idea acctually, if you give powerful attributes to players.

[BallaBurUgle]

Came up with another thing; it would be nice if you could see what kind of armour the opponent had on. If he bought lkevlar you could see a vest and if he bought a helmet you would see it on his head. I'd like that...

[xyubnu3gy]

yeh, but can you do that in reallife?(not about the kelvar, I agree with you on that)

[Nooky2800]

I'm sick of all u people whinning about "Automatic pickup" if u can't deal with it than don't play.The thing about cheating its never going to fucking stop people can always hack into the system b/c they have nothing better to do with their lives.So i wouldn't listen to the new cs version about stopping hacks.
