depending on how much they improved the auto snipers, it could be really really good... i guess we'll see, as of now i usually use scout, sometimes awp, never AS guns, but maybe now..

As long as your LAN is connected to the Net your fine and if your at someones house they should have a modem for you to plug it into. I would say that making the Semi-Auto Rifles not suck is a far more requested update, I hope that this is as effective as the Glock upgrade was.

That still shouldn't have to be. Like I said though, I personally don't care about it, but I know others do... You see enough of the whiny little punks at the Steam boards to see there's some desire for it.

HOLY SHIT, THAT ONLY TOOK THEM LIKE THREE FUCKING YEARS!

Hehehe, i was about to say the same thing ;]



And finally players will have shadows, wow.

[DeAceShooter]

Hm. Shadows may reveal those campers! :)

[Thortok2000]

I never awp, I find it to be too cheap. I'm not that good with it, actually. I'm better with either the scout (more mobility), or the autosnipers (bigger clip). I can usually take out anything except an awp or an AK at long range.



Yes, the AK = sniper rifle. Over 100 yards = lucky headshot. They need to fix that.



But one of my favorite things is to get a scout headshot on some awper before he can move his crosshairs over my left elbow and kill me. Not an often occurrence, but rewarding.

Time for me to lay down the scout and use the auto-sniper rifles. =)

My god. They're actually making the most expensive guns useful!!! Now all they have to fix is the para and duelies. :)

That's next on the list.

G3 is one of my most favorite sniper rifles to use. I find it fun :)

Me too... it's probably my 3rd or 4th favorite sniper rifle in CS, right after the two bolt action ones that currently do something useful. :P

Heck yeah! :) I'd be a bigger fan of lower recoil than higher damage in both cases, but either/both would be very cool.

[Julio Caesar]

This seems like a nice little update. The added shadows kinda make sense, and improving the auto-sniper rifles is a good idea, since I don't mind using the g3 as it is.

[|5hadoW Hunte|2]

they should just add a grenade launcher onto the knife... ;]

COUNTER-STRIKE CHANGES:

» Improved damage and accuracy of sg550 and g3sg1 sniper rifles

» Added small shadow underneath player

» Added autobuy and rebuy functionality to buy menus



-Great! Now add LAN functionality and Steam will be as good as I always said it would (I've been a fan of the Steam concept since the first beta, I've just always thought it was badly implemented)



TODO:

1). Add total offline play functionality (like it was in 1.5)

2). Improve DEULS and and PARA (cut cost and/or improve accuracy)

3). Fix shield (Yes, there are still problems with it)

[FatboyTim]

Nice. :-)
