review: cs-classic

[Mr. Lugosi]

CS-Classic isn't perfect, but I really really like it. (Except for the bunny hoppers and cheaters) I guess I'm into the nostalgia thing.

HAHAHAHHAHA BASED ON REALISM HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHA



Sorry, I had to say that *laughs*.



This does look rather bad (the clone thing, not the review

but I'm not a big fan of 1.4+ Pistol rounds are pretty bad now, and the attacking team has a huge disadvantage. Well, I guess AWP'rs should like the additions :)

its based more on realism than say, quake 3 or ricochet. The weapons are realistic, the damage is (nearly) realistic, the enviroments (were for the most part) realistic. The scenarios are realistic (compared to capture the flag).



There's no rocket jumping, gauss guns, snarks, zombies, railguns, powerups or even teleporters.



CS' base template was realism

Hmmm CS Classic should be the funny bastard version of CS. They should add snarks and zombies. They should also have dinosaour maps: maps where the Ts and CTs join forces and have to fight their way out of the T-Rex and Raptor filled jungle. Haha just a stupid idea I had for laughs. But that would be a good Easter Egg, have a pit with a treasure (a colt, de, and armor) guarded by a dinosaour and if you kill em you get the treasure. Arg this is reminding me of my pirate days-time for me to go shoot some sharks wit me musket.

I agree with you rizzuh, I guess I try to play it when they fixed all the things mentioned, specially the crazy bunnyjumping and the sucky models, until then I just stick with 1.5, even though I hate the jumping and the pistol recoil.

[solace]

i miss fast switching with the awp, crosshairs on unzoomed guns (I still think they should reinsert it for the scout.. that was never used as a railgun anyway) and the zoomed colt. But none of these things are in cs classic.. and the versions they have of maps are quite crappy..



I must say though, i haven't seen one cheater.. I've seen more in regular cs in 1.5 than in cs classic

[cheetarah654]

yeah things are always diff when you go back to them and find out that your memory was wrong/ i played cs classics for a bit but i just couldnt seem to hit anything, it felt like everything was off, and the net code = blah, that old lag is horrible. especially since almost all of the servers are running off of cable in some kids bedroom/



id take 1.5 over this in a second

[NebZ]

who fuckin cares about what this review says, people play cs classic if they find it alot more fun, and people stick with 1.5 if they like it, its only a matter of opinion and this review was biased, i couldnt careless if the models looked like shit and i can jump around like a moron, so i say again, who fuckin cares.

Review was kinda harsh but hopefully those guys won't take it too seriously. Yeah, the mod's in a pretty sorry state at the moment, but hopefully they may progress into some ideal thing that's brings nostalgia as opposed to me nitpicking things like the animations being wrong and the weapon models being replacements (I do admit my feelings toward the mod's credibility dropped like a rock when I saw the USP being a custom model :\).



If they ever manage to pull it off then I think it could be fun as a diversion, but definitely no "cs-killer." I think they shot themselves in the foot by releasing something that shouldn't even be called a beta. Granted, CS abused the term beta for years, but a mod that essentially is just reverting to an older version of another fully working game does not need to release new public versions every few days. It also screws up the fan base by releasing multiple versions so soon for so little. A concept like this really should only warrant one major *public* release and then maybe patches if there are bugs. It's not like they are developing something new, they are just making something old work again.



My 2 cents.



Edit: If it's true that this is really just the 1.1 dll and a half-assed job of collecting old models, sounds, etc. then ignore my previous words and insert some generic, idiotic flames towards the "mod's" team here

Well. It uses the same netcode as all modern HL Mods. The only way it could use the old netcode would be if it used an old version of half-life. Which it doesnt. Which means the 'net code' you experienced is BS and you just suck and are looking for excuses.

change your rate



it's set by default to 2500 for some stupid reason I don't quite understand



but also your aim is probably quite bad by the sound of things
