Steam Update Analyzed

Halfway off-topic: They need to make nuke look sexah in CZ! >:|



Did anyone notice that they added detail textures for cbble in 1.6 in this update? Or maybe steam just raped them from my CZ install? I'm not sure but ever since that update, I have had detail textures on cbble just like the ones in CZ. (r_detailtextures 1 or something like that to turn em on)

there was no bug before with the fast switch. when ud switch back u still had to wait for the reload animation timing. the big deal of fast switch is that u have the 1/2 second with your pistol out that u move faster out of the way and have a chance to decide if the awp or pistol would be smarter to keep out. now, the awp will see minimal play in competative cs as many individuals in cs already opted for an m4/ak over an awp. and im sure well still hear n00bs scream about the awp, just in different ways. tho i think it was a bad idea based of misinformed people, it will help my clan as a whole's style of play.

People bitched when they lost bunny hopping. As usual they will get over it and before long it will be just another NORMAL part of CS. :)



So what if some people quit CS because of the new AWP deal? Less whiners, the better.

Not only should they take out skill peice by peice I think they should add more randomness to the game. I mean, I should be able to be CAL-I by spraying while running. Currently spraying and running makes me only CAL-IM cuz I get lots of headshots :)

I noticed that the AWP delay affects reloading too. For that second or two you're stuck just staring at your AWP, you can't shoot, scope, or reload. I'm really pissed that they did they same thing to the Scout though, especially while leaving the autosnipers alone. The Scout should have been left unhindered. It certainly isn't overused like the AWP and autosnipers can be. Unfortunately for me, because so few people use the Scout there will be no outcry by the fans to remove it's delay. Ninety-nine percent of the complaints I've seen about this update (that don't involve the crosshair) mention the AWP only. Nobody cares about the lowly Scout. It's already underused, and now this.



Sigh.

Agree, although I played scoutzknivez last night and it was still fun. I read somewhere that the piece of code had to be modified to fix the awp was shared with the scout, hence the same effect. Could be pure bull testies tho.



The article should have talked about the accuracy changes to deagle/tmp/mac, i'd like to see comparitive spray patterns, but I guess that's prolly not possible now.

After playing more last night,. I love everything about the update except the awp change. If the awp rolls back, I will be 100 percent in love with CS again. All my shots register, its great. I just hate that I run into situations where I'd normally have killed the 2nd and 3rd person if the awp was left alone.

[itsMrHankey2u]

wat i dont understand is that the awp quickswitch originalyl claimed to be a bug, but they can leave the auto snipers alone and ppl dont mind wanting the bug on scout?



disclaimer: no, its not a bug, read up a fwe comments i explained it

[RaptorRage]

Eh maybe AWPers will ask for a teammate to back them up for those situations running into multiple enemies, instead of thinking they are Rambo with an assault cannon.

Cliffe has said on the Steam forums that the accuracy/recoil has not been changed on any gun. He contacted MikeJ yesterday, and the report about the recoil that appeared on this site was amended. Cliffe suggested that the perception of altered recoil was due to a placebo effect from the new skins. I know that when I first used custom skins a couple of years back, I did a lot better just because I was more confident. And yeah, peagle, scoutzknivez is still as much fun as it used to be. I just wish the Scout could have been left alone, though I probably won't notice or care in a couple of days.

[bozer]

You're probably right. Cs plays games with my mind, lol.

the crosshair is still huge. the change is barely noticable for the "wannabe pros" that play at 640x480 or some other prehistoric resolution (800x600?). but to all other players who play at nicer res's such as 1024x768 and higher, they all got butt-fucked by valve's giant prick.

[lopinboy]

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).



Along with forcing kids to take IQ test before being able to play games online, they need to force game developers to take them as well...



The article was good however.

[HowlinMadMurphy]

Yeah, the crosshair is annoying. I play in 1024x768, and it makes it a little harder to aim at distance. If they revert to the old crosshair, great. If not, I guess I'll have to get used to it.

[Shadow]

I hate the new crosshair. Cant you download a new one?



Anyway, why did they have to change the crosshair? I dont see anyone complaining about the old crosshair.
