I dont understand the problems with the crosshair. I've been playing at 800X600 for eternity. The crosshair hasnt changed for me at all. Last night, I switched to the highest (1600), and my crosshair remained the same size. Maybe you guys all got stuck with the crosshair that goes with 800X600? Whatever the case, that crosshair is perfect in my opinion.

bozer TRUST ME. the crosshairs have been fucked with majorly. go reinstall 1.5 and u'll see what i mean. if u want screenshots i can IM u em on AIM. the old 1.5 crosshairs can all fit within the new crosshairs' spacing. thats pathetic.

Give me a break. Anyone who thinks the AWP is nerfed clearly never had a nerf gun in their childhood.
VALVe... the only company I know that thinks "balancing" of weapons means to nerf a semi-balance gun (awp), kill another gun (scout), and leave the 2 most use and most unbalanced guns alone (m4 and ak).Comment

As much as I hate how the AWP was screwed, I just can't fathom why VALVe did it to the Scout as well. Lord knows how I hate all those countless "Scout whores" on pubs!Comment

I'd like to see the awp not kill to the arm...Can you guys like play-test this in-house and see how it goes? And if you decide to leave as is, could you let me know why?
Just a little more skill required to kill with the thing, that's all I ask...Run some statistics on how many shots are arm shots or something. I just don't like the idea of a bullet in the arm killing, not to mention that it'll make awpers actually aim for the chest or head instead of anywhere above the waist.
(Heck, I don't like the awp at all, and would prefer there to at least be a server-side variable limit as to how many can be had on a team, but oh well.)
Besides, this wasn't really an awp 'nerf'. Nothing about the gun changed as long as you just hold it like normal. It's switching to it that changed.
By the way, you switch to a pistol just as fast as before. So pulling out the pistol when someone gets close is still fine. It's having the pistol out when your enemy is long distance that's gonna kill you. Why would you ever switch to pistol when you know your enemy is long distance? Simply to sidestep faster, get more field of vision, etc. In other words, exploiting.
Now, just keep the awp in your hands, as you were always supposed to do. Slower movement speed, less field of vision, all the balancing factors of the gun that you remove when you switch to pistol instead.
Besides, if you simply hit your target and kill him, you don't really have to worry about it.naem wrote..
Scout is actually pretty powerful. Nobody uses it because AK/M4/AWP are all better (awp as a better sniper, with the single-bullet kill, and AK/M4 as all-around better for about the same price as the scout, which can't CQB at all).
As much as I hate how the AWP was screwed, I just can't fathom why VALVe did it to the Scout as well. Lord knows how I hate all those countless "Scout whores" on pubs!
Assume your opponent doesn't have an AK, M4, or AWP, and you have a scout, and it's long distance. You'll own. I think it's fine that it affected the scout too, since, as you said, nobody really uses it anyway.
What I don't get is how autosnipers weren't affected...Comment

What I don't get is how I didnt learn about #1.3 and this great community sooner!
Steam 1.3 > ALL
have fun playing the nub 1.6. as for everyone else... take it back to the roots with 1.3! we're all having great fun playing 1.3 come and join us. If it's not your thing.. then keep playing 1.6..
I promise not to bash 1.6 anymore! I swear! Never will I play it again but Steam CS 1.3 will hopefull live long but even if not I will enjoy it while its here and then move onto other games after its gone.
no update = best update. this is amazing. I love it. Now I realize how much I miss it.
ps.. did I mention how good the reciol is on guns and how good it registers compared to 1.6? I'm good once again and best thing of all is even when I do die it doesn't make me wan't to punch something! ;-)
oh. not that I was terrbile at 1.6 but anyone can be cal-m in 1.6. ~Comment

Simple reason for the Scout to also be affected. It's a bolt action rifle like the AWP. And the quickswitch could be (ab)used for the same effect, even though the Scout doesn't kill in one chest shot.Comment

It sure is funny to see 3 AWPers in de_dust getting knifed because people know they cannot adapt to the changes.
Isn't it though :) I can now compete with some of the better awpers since they can't fast switch."
ROFL... you have no idea how long i laughed at that... You are glad that they give the newer players more of a chance? A good player could handle going up against an awp with a colt or ak or any other weapon for that matter. And now they evened the skill gap for those who couldnt shoot an awp worth crap by taking away from the better awpers. GG
And for those of you who are like awww dont mess with the scout only the awp... stfu. If they can nuke weapons like the awp that people actually use and could use efficiently and skillfully, then why should they not be able to mess with your pub star scout?
"VALVe... the only company I know that thinks "balancing" of weapons means to nerf a semi-balance gun (awp), kill another gun (scout), and leave the 2 most use and most unbalanced guns alone (m4 and ak)."
How are the colt and ak unbalanced... plz stfu before valve decides to screw those guns up too... there is nothing unbalanced about them and if you think there is go play America's Army kthx.
At least valve sees they fucked up teh crosshair... maybe their fix the awp too.Comment

Dude, all I have to say is, cs sucks now. EVERYONE A NUB A SOME POINT. so you nubs get over it. we all had to learn sometime. Go play aim map or somethin you nubs, join cal and learn some shit.
As for the Crosshair issue. I hate it. it sucks ass. the gun recoils and you see this huge green crosshair the size of a half dollar on your screen.
I HATE THE NEW AWP. THE THING SO FRICKIN MESSED. of all the things to change, why that?

The old awp, nubs get over it. we all had to learn how to avoid the awp and how to kill it. stfu and learn how to do stuff.Comment

The Only petition you should be signing is this one!
http://www.petitiononline.com/nosteam/petition.html
And quit trying to compare the AWP to the AK/Colt whores. The AWP was only balanced when the Colt had a scope! Ever since Beta 6.5 this game has been about one railgun/rocket launcher/AWP user NO THAT IS NOT WHAT CS WAS MADE FOR! It is a machine gun/teamplayer simulation.
You want a railgun/rocket launcher/AWP play normal half-life deathmatch!
And I hope they never add the new rocket launcher to CS:CZ because then that truly would be the death of CS it would become a deathmatch game like normal half-life.

i had 3 nerf guns in my childhood, and if my memory serves me correctly, the awp is that far off from it anymore.

if the reason that cliffe changed the awp holds true, the reason he changed the scout is the same reason he changed the awp. contrary to what everyone beleives, cliffe changed it to balance the sniper guns that people didnt use as a sniper gun. therefore the scout being a sniper as well, had the same treatment. it is also a bolt action sniper rifle and therefore should have a quickswitch 'exploit' as well. the people bitching about how they love the awp nerf but not the scout nerf are really full of shit. the reason they wanted the awp nerfed is jsut cuz they kept getting owned by the awpers. but if u were honest, you shouldnt be upset by the scout nerf because it was changed for the same reason the awp was.
