Shield is perfect and Im so sick of hearing people whine about it. Learn to kill people with it, and forget how to complain.

should be able to whack people with it if you come up behind them ~25 damage

On a different note I was looking through the Files of steam today and noticed a strange file.



in steam dir: There is a creditcard_back.tga file.

You open this up and get a pic of a back of a credit card. Strange that this is there when steam is free or is vlaue upto something that we do not know about.

Personaly I still think the shield can unbalance CS. Sure, the Ts have a new weapon and all, and sure it's much better then the FAMAS that the CTs now get, but still, the shield works too well. Imagine on cs_seige if by some fluky round the Ts managed to get hold of a couple of shields. All they'd need to do is make a wall with the shields, stick any old AWPer behind them, and they'd own the CTs even more then usual. To make it more balanced, either the shield should break or somehow become useless after X number of hits, or it should be limited to only a certain number of shields per team or something.

if you had bothered to find out a bit more about steam then you would know it is a content delivery ssytem which means when its finally done new games will be released on it. So instead of going down to you local games shop to buy a game you can pay for it on steam and download it through that.

The shield will help the CTs on maps like Siege..



Talking about Siege.. How did a (shit) map like that survive all the way from beta 1?? Sure it was fun in the beta days, together with more (only) 1 or 2 entrances to the hostages maps like Ship etc, but in current CS these hostage maps like Siege are so unbalanced it's sick.. The hostage maps need extra routes to the hostages to make them more balanced & interesting again imho.. It's the only reason why nobody plays them in clanwars anymore, no balance at all.. Seperate all 4 hostages, or add more routes, it's as simple as that..

Why's everyone whining and complaning about buy-scripts?



If you were composed of true l33tness (such as myself) you would have everything memorized.



It also gives you a lot more freedom, since you can choose exactly what you want, ie how many clips, what nades you might want for that specific round, ext.



Skillz.

Can anyone never get to connect to Steam? This blowz so frikin much...

[[CyW]-=BigBear=-]

I can do both, by hand & scripts, now that's uber-l33t!!!

[ushigarf]

btw, bigbear, the author of cs_siege died, he can't edit it. However someone was taking the liberty of changing htings around for balance, now making it de_siege.

[[CyW]-=BigBear=-]

I know he commited suicide.. I feel sorry for him and especially his family.. But that doesn't make Siege a good map.. Infact I remember Noth!ng saying in an interview once that Siege was a sort of testmap, it wasn't designed to be an official map with balance etc in mind, and he didn't expect it to become a popular map in CS (at least it was popular in the beginning of CS).. But this is just a vague memory, so I'm not 100% sure..



Making Siege a bomb map is not a solution imho, we need some good balanced hostage maps, which even could qualify for leagueplay.. That's what I think..

I dont really care bout the sheild. I can just shoot thru the little gap in the shield used for the eyes. Instant HS.dont complain, only newbs should complain.Ppl who have been playing cs for a long time should be able to shoot thru the gap for the eyes. Seriously, headshots areent that hard.

I fail to see how it gives you more freedom, as you can do all of that without scripts.

[Majingeta]

about the gap in the shield... If the point of the shield to block shots, it probably should block the gap too. It's not like CS is realistic as like rainbow 6, so the gap really shouldnt be sh00table. I dunno maybe when the shield is to the side, but just for some kind of gameplay balance. imho. But what do i know. I know nothings.

(shootable wtf)

[[CyW]-=BigBear=-]

The shield *does* block all shots, also in the 'window'.. Shadow talks bs.. Go play 1.6 beta before you comment on it..
