how come ppl with connections slower than broadband cant get cs 1.6, its so fucked i've played cs since 1.1 and this takes the piss!! there should at least be a LAN/offline version for ppl with slower connections so they can get used to the new map + new weapons etc. Come on sort it out!!



P.S when cs 1.6 is out for everyone will it be split into normal + steam??

You are joking right? I know LOTS of people with broadband who are still to get a working steam.

also what sucks is that any new pistol models change back to original with the shield....

[xcsemtex]

i am tired of people saying how perfect 1.5 is when not too long ago they were complaining about the jumping etc.

[Killer Hamster]

retard, the jumping is fucking 1.4.....and why cant they just update as usual, cs wasnt broke why "fix" it and create more problems

I have to agree in this case, although steam is proving to be quite dodgy on the stability front, I think everyone should lay off it a bit, I mean, I remember the huge uproar when they changed jumping, yet no-one seems to complain now .... after a while I think everyone will except the new system and just get on with playing cs :)

Amen brotha.

Also: Rifles should penetrate the shield a bit! That would encourage more strategy, because people with rifles could take down people with shields more easily.

well i think the shield was placed to counter the AWP...and yes the AWP is a rifle. :-)

ah that pic of the skeleton using steam was great

[GhettoHistorian]

w00t i got mailbag



anyway i think the sheild controversy is identical to when the awp came out



we all creamed our pants about the awp, and look what happened, we dont bitch and whine about the awp anymore do we?



trust me guys itl pass



except steam aka steaming pile of dog shit will ruin any chance valve has at making cs 1.6 appeal to gamers



i love when steam says its updating and it doesent even get to one block and the steam window just dissappears. i hate the steam UI too it reminds me of the last time i had some badass diahreah

See, the thing about the shield is that if you are in a 1v2 situation and one of the enemies is using a shield and the other enemy is not retarded, you're dead. It is a totally different realm than the AWP controversy.

[GhettoHistorian]

well lets hope there are a lot of retarded cs players out there

i say we give gooseman a spanky every time steam gets downloaded

[russianmobster]

oh man, good job mikej, i am in anticipation of the POTD being a clever chess setup, or maybe some CS models pasted on top of a chess board! Hee hee!

[llama]

yet another problem with steam...



i keep getting this problme with opening counter-strike



"Steam has found the following problem with your game:

SteamProcessCall(WaitForAppReadyToLaunch,0xab0010,
0x1f9fd0c)failed with error 16: Cache File Corrupted



Teh game data cache needs to be flushed in order to run.

DO you wish to do this now?

Yea i keep hitting ok but it keeps showng up... wtf does this message mean. Please help me, i havent been able to play cs for 4 days cause of this crap.

[FL!P]

They should add a new machine gun to penetrate the shield.. I mean, come on. Realistically the para isn't high caliber enough, but machine guns have a huge role in other counter-terrorism games. One under the menu? Bah. Other than that though, I have no problem with it. Like other said, you just have to adapt to it.
