CPL uses CS 1.4

[SinaC]

I think RockSteady just found the bold command.

-=cw=-/i/oIr I have to disagree about all the top/pro/L337/what ever players calling 1.4 a "newbie mod". The majority of people that I have talked to about it either have no opinion or like it. (These being CAL-i/CAL-m people.) Although many of them dislike the walk speed, they have adjusted and so have I. I was just playing b5.2, and realised how much CS has matured since then. The graphics, the models, the speed. (the X-hairs :P)



Although I'm not a fan of 1.4, I have to say I prefer it over b5.2. And now I'm going to sleep after a hard night out. (of my room)

-=cw=-/i/oIr you are a complete moron. If you think 1.4 is a "newbie mod" then I'd have to say that your "skill" involved jumping all the time. The people that prosper from 1.4 are the people that were actually good at 1.3. Reaction time is paramount as is tactics. No more running around until you see an enemy and immediately jumping like its fucking quake or something. You actually have to be in a good position before you see the enemy to have the upper hand. Just about everything you said in your comment made me laugh. The best part is that you consider yourself to be a pro yet you think "jumping is the greatest skill in cs". Have you even heard of reaction time? or tactics? or teamwork? or even aim for that matter!?!? The clicking of spacebar is hardly a skill surpassing these. Im glad so many people dislike 1.4, it will help weed out all the people that think this is DM and not a game with OBJECTIVES!

Ok I had to write something.



"Too much camping in 1.4."



I don't know where you people have been; but I've been playing in CS leagues for well over two years now; and every match I'm in people camp like hell.



The point is to compete the objectives; if you try to kill everyone on the team; you will get your ass beat.



CTs camp to hold the bombsite; Ts camp to hold the hostages.



Learn how to play the fucking game; because if your bitching about this then you shouldn't even be in a league... league-play is very different from your local "ffa" pub servers.



"The CS team didn't state that there was going to be major changes in 1.4."



First off; the CS team currently is: Valve; Gearbox; Gooseman and Cliffe. The moderators of the CS forums have no say in what goes into CS or comes out of CS.



The jump change (the biggest change in CS besides Valve Anti-cheat) was announced AWHILE before the actual patch was released. And CS1.4 was OPENLY beta-tested for AWHILE before the patch was released. So you could go on any website and see what we being changed... it's not like it was in the dark or anything.



"The physics bug was fixed; now we walk slower."



It was a bug; bugs get fixed; deal with it.



The walking speed needs to be nerfed a little; but walking isn't non-useful.



Adapt people.

Some coverage from CPL Europe would be nice. Haven't seen a single notice about the whole event taking place. It has started yesterday (Friday) and will be continued until Tuesday. IMO if the stupid draft thing gets huge coverage on CS Nation, then CPL europe should as well, since we all know that it was the European clans that dominated the world championships... please get some coverage

Rephrase that; NiP won CPL WC; X3 was second. There was no 'domination'.



About the headshot question:



The hitboxes were fixed again... hopefully for good now. So the aiming is much more accurate.

[+BB-]

I'm glad they're sticking to CS 1.4, it would be ridiculous if they actually chose to run 1.3 for the WC. I was really shocked when I saw the poll come out on their site, but now some of my confidence in their intelligence is restored +)

You know, if you want realism why not join the rebellion or something, and use the force? If this game was completly realistic, you could walk just as fast as you could run, we all know you can run while tip-toeing.



Just leave the matter as it is, they're clearly not going to change anything, so shaddup.

[CabalSoljea]

erm... watumean fixed?

In my opinion it is domination when top10 is filled with 7 European clans and only 3 american. But thats not the point, but the point was that CS Nation should cover this event as well as it is very popular. At the moment there are 1800 people on the CPL channel in quakenet following the matches, which aren't even past group stage.. that says something about the populairty

[MidgetPanda]

You can walk as fast as u run with a ton of equipment? WOAH...they dont clank or anything? Amazing stuff eh?

[AceR]

great, but i think the game will be alot slower now.

When i started to get a clue about CS, i started walking 90% of the time. Even still, my reaction to 1.4s walking was little more than "Huh. Feels a little different".



Quite honestly, i think that most people who find the walking speed so outrageous were the type that never walked properly in the first place and instead exploited the whole "silent running" thing. Either that, or they just never fucking learned to walk in the first place. It's hard to argue otherwise, as just about every competent player has had the misfortune of trying to sneak down a hall while his so-called "backup" completely nullified all attempts at stealth by clomping everywhere. Demos of "big clans" playing before 1.4 is also littered with back-to-back instances of people jumping as a means of moving silently without losing speed. I don't think it's a matter of strategies needing to mature; i think it's a matter of strategies needing to start period.



Secondly, i think that the "major" changes of 1.4 will end up making the game more interesting to watch. Intelligent players will be far easier to spot since wits will be more of a dominant factor in surviving. The intensity that i remember has a good chance of shining through again, thus making spectating bearable, if not more entertaining.
