New CSX Preview!

[CSN NewsBot]

The Adrenaline Vault has written up a nice new preview of Counter-Strike for the Xbox console. They provide some new information and screenshots that's worth checking out. Here's a quote from the article:

The controls are already in a state of total readiness in this build, feeling even more fluid and precise than Halo. Speaking of which, the button layout is vastly borrowed from Halo, so the transition to Counter-Strike is as simple as possible. The biggest difference is in how grenades are handled, being a selectable weapon with the Y button, rather than getting assigned its own trigger. The left trigger is instead used to crouch, which can come in handy for taking cover. Considering the importance of staying as protected as possible, you'll find the trade-off is well worth it. The only problem I ran into was a need to turn around quickly to scan for enemies around me. While initially this proved cumbersome, enabling a quick look option allowed me to check my six with ease by holding the stick consistently in one direction.

Your post didn't even make sense, don't dis something unless you actually know what you are talking about. Oh BTW, have you played it, your troll-like post seems to be a big glob of opinion that truly has no meaning.

[-=]PM[=-ColdBrand]

Yea you suck looser, also Halo kicks ass (can't tell whether or not you're insulting it). Also looser, I just wanted to get the point across by the way.

[Requiem]

I am looser? looser than what? i have played halo, and every minute i hate microsoft for buying out bungie and turning it into a shit console game. do you guys have any idea how awesome halo was going to be?



i do know what im talking about, im just hung over and really pissed off today. but even when im not hung over and pissed off, halo sucks, and cs for xbox is going to suck, and i laugh at all you tools.

besides, its my opinion, and opinions are never right or wrong, so just accept it and move on rather than starting a stupid flame war. the comments are meant for posting opinions. so bugger off.

ok .. so that's saying that HALO pc is gonna be like CS but with rocket launchers and jeeps.. nub... man .. don't hate a game because you think of a company in one way.. I was like that but then i threw my ideals out of the window when i got my hands on a behind close doors preview of halo for xbox.. MS or not that shit rocked.. and with a kick ass game or not some one would have ported it or bought it out to play on pc or (like MS did) console... but i imagine you never fathomed that a game like that would be kick ass and you would have to wait so long for the pc version to come out..



anyway.. back to CSX .. does anyone know if the console version has the ability to switch skins? i'm a righty in real life but when playing CS on the pc i'm a lefty and that is my major question.. cause i admit i wished for that option when halo came out for xbox.. so i'm hoping CSX doesn't basis against us lefty skin users

actually its not like saying halo pc is gonna be like cs with rocket launchers, im sure it will have a very distinct feel because pcs arent limited in the way that consoles are. the reason cs for xbox is gonna feel like halo is it uses a very similar control scheme, and similar autoaim or so i hear. and because consoles are very limited when it comes to a first person shooter.



about the halo being awesome thing. i have followed bungies work since marathon, and i doubt any of you know what that is. so when they were originally making halo, it was gonna be like really kickass tribes or even bf1942. they had a very ambitious project going. it was going to be a very large scale battle game, not some crappy standard console fps like it turned out to be. i dont like halo because i think it sucks, and when microsoft bought it over i was dissappointed(after i played it) that we didnt get the kickass game it was supposed to be. not liking something because of who made it is just as bad as being stupid and getting suckered by pop-ups and all that crap. corporate whore, or anti-corporate whore, your still a whore. what im trying to say is, i dont like halo because I DONT LIKE IT, not because microsoft was involved with it. as far as i'm concerned, halo is just another console fps.



so before any more of you call me ignorant and stupid, remember, that i am quite informed, and it doesnt matter anyways because its an opinion. sorry for not using correct grammar/punctuation to make myself not look stupid, but i dont care. i will go back to being hung over now

[Bibbz-F_T_S-]

quite the touche there Requiem very well said and true i don't know what Marathon is because i was more of a console gamer than a pc gamer.. but now i'm balanced between the two

hehe thank you.



marathon is a really really old fps by bungie. like early 90s old i think. cant remember that was a long time ago. they were awesome games, really good stories. one thing i do know is, i still have all 3 marathon games on my 75 mhz mac. haha, im gonna plug it in and go play them....because i messed up my tacos

[azz0r]

If it somehow had live built in Id get it, but not so, so Ill stick to the PC. kthxbye.

[exwhyze]

Tools? I don't like Halo either, do you see me bitching about it, no. This is about CSX, not Halo, I don't care if you were following Bungie since Marathon. Does Bungie make CSX, no. I'm just overall sick of people shitting on games because of stupid reasons. You don't like Microsoft so you don't like anything related to them, stupid reason. Judging the game on the company, not the game, is stupid. Just an overall pile of stupid, enough about that, I hate this talk. I'm a lover, not a hater. I LOVE YOU ALL!

Gee, what do you know? A flame war erupts within the first 2 posts. Typical.



And I see this all the time on the internet and it's becoming my pet peeve (this isn't directed at anyone in particular)...



LOOSER means LOOSE, as in the rope is LOOSE



LOSER means DORK, as in you suck



Go to vocabulary class once in awhile instead of playing CS. It'll do wonders for your grammar.



out.
