article: CSX in San Francisco

[CSN NewsBot]

Counter-Strike for the Xbox will be released tomorrow. Two weeks ago, rizzuh and I were invited to San Francisco for a preview of the game and a chance to participate in an impromptu Xbox tournament. Here's a peek at what we learned:

Upon playing, it's obvious how much time was spent refining the control. Halo got the general gist of console FPS control down. Counter-Strike adapts it perfectly to suit its gameplay. For instance, with crouching being so integral to Counter-Strike, having it be a hard-to-reach button in the middle of combat simply wouldn't do. Instead, the left trigger serves as the crouch button while the right trigger fires, making it easily accessible and tactically useful.

We've got more information of CSX, a recap of the tournament, and some great pictures inside. Brave the fog and check it out!

POINT AND LAUGH

[tspoon1066]

Very nice Article.



Were there any accidental cries of "BS!!" and "omg hax0r!!!!"? If I was playing CS on the console I would think/say it without even thinking coz somewhere in my head I'd think it was the same as PC CS.



One thing that I won't like about CSX is that it will be harder to go on there and play for a laugh, like on PC pub servers, because you won't be able to type things to everyone and whatnot.



At first glance I thought that Rizzuh and Asspennies were holding hands. Very Disturbing.

You chat using voice comm. Everyone who has Live (except those with two-month tryout subscriptions) has a headset and can hear you talking and respond.



You can also set the sound so that the voice comm comes through the TV if you don't have a headset. So it all works.



Do you mean to tell me that every single player you play on the PC version chats one way or the other?

[hitnrun]

no i mean type text, i don't particularly like to hear whiny voices or want people to heary my whiny voice

[tspoon1066]

Can you talk to people from the other team?



e.g.

ll4m4.h4x0r - Hey bob! come CT!!!!!1

r0flr0flnub - Sure thing jimbo!!!
