IGN has always been a great site except for the insider only thing...

anyways, cant wait for CS: CZ. Its coming out in april right?

[rizzuh]

The release date is in the air, but Gearbox says Q2 2002. I think it'll come out in the summer and completely miss the CPL, but I could be wrong.

[Jsunu]

I hope it comes out the end of next month......

Well when you run around with silly aliases it's not like I can magically tell who you are. Of course you're going to say I'm wrong for saying a negative opinion, but when I praise something about CS: CZ I don't get and flames from you.



The LAW looks horrible. I don't know if that's the correct way to hold a LAW, but it looks utterly retarded. The angle is totally off. It makes the end of the launcher look too small. Weapons in CS aim towards the crosshair, even if it's not physically correct, but this weapon aims to the right and below the crosshair.



I don't work for Gearbox. I have refrained from expressing my total disgust of a stupid gameplay decision (see bottom), but I'm not going for an ugly model for the sake of journalistic value (which we do not have). Maybe your company should take a hint and fix the issues with the model rather than say the dissenters are totally off base.



I'll be unbias where it matters: the review.

[reptar]

well rizzuh you're right and wrong...



The weapon does aim at the crosshair, but that shot is mid stride... and half life has that crazy weapon sway.... but it does aim at it...



your concern for the end of the barrel is indeed founded... but thats not the model thats the perspective. It shrinks as it goes away... all models do that, but the LAW is so much longer than normal ones (save maybe the AWP which has a really small barrel on the end too) it just looks odd.



And yes that is the correct way to hold a LAW. However you dont know its a stupid gameplay decision because you've never played it before.

[Jsunu]

I dont think many people will care if the law looks weird...

I doubt many people will use it.

[MikeJ]

Why are the models default right handed. This is one thing gooseman stood by on for a long time.

[reptar]

you can still choose your hand... why does it matter what the default is

[MikeJ]

It's the principle. Besides I'm a lefty, we are always getting shafted.



I am looking forward to CS:CZ though, and anything else remotely related to CS in one way or another.

[Jsunu]

cs:cz single player is going to suck imo...



dont hate me

[MikeJ]

You'll play it, and you'll like it.



Oh it's true.

[rizzuh]

I would think that it would be smart to make the default hand right handed, because most people are righties. It'd be like making the default player model a female.



MikeZilla: indeed I don't know if it's a bad gameplay decision, but one can assume that a tank, flamethrower, nuclear weapon, and scud missle would all be bad for CS. A year ago, a rocket launcher would have been included on that list.



It's lose-lose. Either the weapon has no impact and it was a waste of developmental time, or the weapon is actually useful to a degree and people will think it's lame. Hopefully you guys can pull it off, but pretending like the prejudice against the weapon is unmerited won't get your anywhere.

[MikeJ]

Yea i suppose you're right (as usual) about the player models.

But that was one thing that made CS special to me. *sniff*



Ah well life goes on.
