To be fair, some evidence points to VALVe porting CS to the Half-Life 2 engine: http://csnation.counter-strike.net/viewnews.php/6540/



I don't think we'll behind for too long, but it is true that the CSX version looks really nice. In any case, I believe that CS:CZ has many of the same graphical upgrades.



With the exception of player models which apparently the most important thing in the universe if these comments reflect on society at all.

how about a pc port of the xbox version of cs? we'll all be happy...hopefully anyway.

wow. the cs cz models which supposedly "didnt work" show up on the xbox. what an absolute shock... valve, why are we, the pc gamers who made the game great, being (again) kicked to the curb? first, you give the ps2 a super asthetic upgrade for hl, (im talking twice what the hd pack is) and now you are doing it again with cs for the xbox. very dissapointing. *shakes head*

Thats how almost every video game company are.



GTA VC for example. Xbox version looks amazing.

PC version, runs bad, looks bad and wasn't really what the PC people want.



So why would they work more on the Xbox version than the PC, even though the PC doesn't limit anybody like the Xbox or ps2?

my best guess is money.



Since piracy is a big issue with computers and not as huge for consoles, company's work harder on the consoles because they will make more money.

I think the game will be more random with the xbox controller and that's not good. Well, time will tell.

You went way too easy on him. Cheating is as bad now as it ever was.... sheesh talk about kissing butt.

Can't really see many pro gamers switching to the XBOX. How long has cs been around like 4 years. Name one game on a console which has such a strong following after such a long time. Though on-line play might add some time. Anyway i find PC's so much cooler than consoles.

[aprice30]

anyone know if people playing cs on PC can join and play people on XBOX.

[Matt3o]

question for csn staff:



framerate is 30 or 60fps?



tnx so very much!

no. csx is shipping with several xbox only maps. also i believe csx has a maximum of 16 people (if that).



oh and the xbox will have "a bullet assist feature, to help the player a bit with their precision" or in laymans terms, autoaim.

TV's can only display 30 frames per second. How often the game is rendered internally is something I don't know, but I do know that the frame rate is consistent even with 2x anti aliasing, detail textures, and updated maps. The game feels just as smooth, if not smoother, than Halo.

Sorry, what? Did you actually play it on a PC that wasn't circa 1997? It got great reviews all round, and most people who played it loved it. AFAIK, a fair bit of work was put into the port to make it not suck. I'm sure the same goes for CS.



Companies don't set out to make ports suck just to spite you. Well, maybe a little. Regardless, this looks reasonable, and I'd be willing to try it out - and i'm by no means a console gamer.

It isn't really autoaim, it's more like, if your reticle is just a milimeter away from the person it's targeting, it will sort of assume that you're targetting that person. Like I said in the interview, it's a lot less dramatic than, say, Halo's bullet assist. It's hardly noticible, it's just there to get over the small bit of innacuracy that lends itself to the less precise nature of the console controller.



It's not like your gun will "snap to" an enemy or something. You'll likely not even notice it.

[Sniper-X-]

Screw that, gimme PS2 CS.

[Mr Appel]

Can you plzz Tell where i can get that Counterstrike Skin On that Xbox they are playing or is it made for them only



I ve been searching Google for 2 days now but Couldent find it myself

[asspennies]

It's an "xwrap" from casewraps.com.



I have no idea whether they are selling them, if it was a custom job, etc. Your best bet is to contact casewraps.com and ask them about a CS skin for the xbox.
