article: CSX in San Francisco

[Kraft-XBA]

Great article guys! Just got mine up at XBA as well... waiting to see what bozer and shockwave come up with. I tell you one thing though, writing a full length feature for an event consisting of one game was a little daunting...



P.S. I have the pictures I took up at http://www.pspnetwork.com/sanfran so feel free to get them there.

[-:Nighthawk:-]

Any time you post pictures of yourself, be prepared for criticism, unless you happen to be an extremely hot girl, in which case you should be spending less time posting pictures, and more time trying to move in with me.



And yes, that picture does look like you're holding hands. Funny stuff there, I must admit. :P Pity us team members aren't supposed to crack too many jokes about that kind of thing... heh.



Anyway, excellent coverage Asspennies, very informative while still being a good read. Looks fairly interesting, and I'd almost be tempted to try it, seeing as I'm finally starting to get a hang of the Halo controls (which I still say are vastly inferior to PC controls). I think the lack of any split screen ability is going to really hurt the game, though... Aside from that, however, the port looks pretty good, all things considered.

From the pictures I saw in mags, the xbox communicator thing only has 1 earpeice. Does the sound of teamates in one ear not mess with your ability to hear & pinpoint footsteps etc? In fact, has the audio changed at all?

[-:Nighthawk:-]

The ability to pinpoint footsteps? I'm gonna seriously doubt that's gonna happen when you're using a TV, honestly, unless you have separate headphones you're plugging in.

Well... from what I recall it has Dolby 5.1 in-game support, so figuring out where people are coming from wouldn't be hard with that positional audio.

Anyone know if Valve is planning to incorporate some of the Xbox changes into the PC version? For instance, the new maps, better textures and skins?

[Kraft-XBA]

Chances are no, I would imagine. I'm sure valve has their hands full working on HL2 at the moment and reskinning an old mod would take away from that effort.

the new maps will be in the PC version of CS:CZ, i think they are a bit different though and don't use 24 bit textures (they use new textures but they are the old 16bit format so the min requirements stay low, it's a HL engine game afterall)

[Kraft-XBA]

From what I remember, the xbox maps are exclusive to the xbox. They had 14 maps created and decided to use 7 of them on the Xbox and 7 on CS:CZ.

[MikeJ]

i was reffering to the old CS maps that were updated for xbox. They were updated for PC too but not the same bsps/wads. It's a wierd situation seeing as VALVe hasn't said a word about CS:CZ in weeks.

i wonder what weighs more: xbox or asspennies?

omg thats a fucking lol.



btw, why does the xbox version get the cool looking Ritual models? and we PC users are stuck with the 3 year old defaults.

m$ mustve paid valve a handsome sum.



kraft: wtf did u take thos pics with? a webcam? quality is terrible,.

[Kraft-XBA]

Actually a digital videocam that could also take pictures. Pictures were more of an afterthought, and the camera makes it easy since it defaults at a 640x480 resolution: perfect size for XBA displaying.

I coulda sworn I saw a pic of asspennies a while ago, in which he was a good looking playboy who doubled as an internet jokester. I also thought he was a senator's son and was rich for some reason. Assuming he's the balding "husky" feller on the right in that winners pic, I was obviously 450% off track.



Now the other bombshell: rish isn't fat anymore, and is actually a good looking guy. Oy vey.



asspennies is "da bomb".



Also, I think the X-Box is cool and might get one soon.

fking moron.
