review: cs-classic

[CSN NewsBot]

Some idiot who happens to have my name has written a review of the newly-released CS-Classic. You can view his full writings right here. If you require a preview before running off and reading the full review, you'll be delighted:

Ever since Counter-Strike 1.4 has been released many in the community have demanded a CS clone that allows repeated jumping and possibly the return of bunnyhopping, a method of jumping over and over while strafing that increases your velocity (removed in CS 1.3). CS-Classic BETA 1, and its update BETA 1.1, were released last week. The mod has old CS art (skins, models, maps, etc.) and some older CS code that has a bit different weapon balance and unrestricted jumping.



I have been playing Counter-Strike since BETA 1 (technically, before it was even released). If what this mod represents is BETA 6, then I must have been smoking a fattie while listening to Nirvana instead of playing the game back then. If anything, this mod represents CS 1.1 with crappy models, average maps, and unrestricted bunny hopping so you can look like a moron while playing a game based on realism. Indeed, it is simply CS 1.1's code with a new name: CS-Classic.

Well he certainly sounds like he loves CS-Classic. Tomorrow we'll be posting the mailbag about this new mod.

Hmm interesting read



hmmm rizzuh was ur mother really stabed :P

The USP reminds me of the time when this model was never in CS.

Indeed.



Same goes for the rest of the gun models.

Took the words right out of my mouth.

Just today I was playing (because i was extraordinarily bored) and I remember someone saying "Anyone who doesn't like this mod and likes 1.5 is a total n00b." I had to quit out because I was laughing so hard.

throw in then colt scope...the fast awp glitch, and the awp crosshair and I might redownload it.

Why don't they throw in a in game aimbot and wallhack while they're at it? This is a pathetic attempt to make CS "what it was". CS has improved a lot since I started playing in 1.0, I still don't like the jumping, but everything else has improved by leaps and bounds.

Rizzuh strikes again. Do you ever like anything not done by valve?



But anyway, while this "mod" may not appeal to rizzuh's anal team-based definition of fun, it has appeal for the dm-ers who left at 1.3 and 1.4. It has that realism/action balance that cs today has almost lost. The cheating and constant "how do i use thirdperson?" questions makes me stick with 1.5 however. And for those who hate the models and sounds, just install the real 1.1. Works fine.

And for god sakes, will all the servers out there put some REAL maps in? As for these guys ever coding a cs clone. Yeah right. All they can manage to do is zip some files and call it their own.

The new custom models aren't very good. Actually, they are terrible. The MP5 was one of the worst I've ever seen. Animation and the movement of the weapon was just plain bad. The USP and Glock were ugly, as is the M4a1 model. And what's up with the UMP, Five-SeveN, and Dual Elites? Unless my memory is wrong, they were introduced in retail.



But being able to have that nostalga factor of beta's 5, 6, and 7 back was really alot of fun. However, the fact remains that the hacking problems of yesteryear came back with a vengance. It's not terrible, per se, but it does need alot of work in order to really redeem itself.



I'm keeping 1.5, throwing out Classic. Well, that's not true. If meh trusty M4a1 Scoped comes back with maybe some sort of anti-cheat technology, maybe it'll come back. Until then, this mod is garbage.



BTW: First post for me :)

rofl, that review made me laugh. I agree totaly, I havent played cs nearly as long as you rizzuh, only sinse 6.5 or 6.6 (cant remember), but this was pathedic, if they really want to make cs the way it used to be they need to not use the newest HL update, I mean there are good things in it, but they have changed too many things that have made cs a lot differant they the old days. They talked about taking out the ump, duals, and fivesever, but what about the sg500? And why isn't siege at night like it was in 6.6? There are just too many problems with it to make me think of the "old days". If the hitboxes are "correct" today, I really don't care, all I know is that in in betas you could not get head shots this easy, in my mind, I still think that the old hit boxes are better, correct or not. Does the VIP still have usp in classic cs? I mean I liked that they added the usp in 7.0, but if this is going to be the good ol days they need to take things out that have been added resently. I agree, 1.1 copy with gay models. I mean, I would take the REAL old models if they had the old animations. I just have one question, what version was dust changed so it wasnt like the one in classis cs? Cause I dont remember it being like that... maybe it was before my time, or maybe my memory jsut sucks.

Those were the good old days. Come on newbies, act like you already knew all this. To be honest I didn't like CS until beta 5 but it's still nice to see where the roots are.

[X-Ray Cat]

Now that CS is out of the beta and at current version, I like it as is in 1.5. I was on the anti-1.4 team but now I have grown to like it.

LOL! Funniest review ever; I almost coughed some of my internal organs out because I was laughing so hard. Btw the review was deadly accurate.
