Headshot sprite: [...] I don't give a damn what weapon someone headshot with, the whole point of headshots is that it doesn't matter about the weapon, they're dead in one anyway.

It DOES matter about the weapon. I personally thinks it matters about the weapon, cuz you dont attack an awper or an mp5er the same way. So when i cant make the difference by the sound, i often check my console to see which weapon killed the teammate. So there's an improvement here even if it's not an artistical one.



Besides, killed by headshot doesn't mean you was killed by a single bullet in the head but that the last bullet (the killing one) was in your head.

A headshot - a single bullet in your head - doesn't always kills you. See http://www.ggf-gaming.de/weapons/dc_version2.php , for exemple a SINGLE m4 bullet in helmet at 10 meters = average of 85 dmg so not killing a healthy T (and they are).



As said before you can still play CS 1.5 if you're unhappy with steam, there are plenty of servers and players (me included) who stayed in 1.5 for a lot of reasons even if it's not very valve-supporting

the crosshair change is odd, change it back, or maybe put a option like cl_consistantxhair 0-1



and the awp delay i dont care, i havent really used "awp-pistol-quickswitch", so it still feels the same for me.



valve, fire your radar designer, and take me, i can make whole lot better radar than that. i could make it square and radioactive, rofl.



hs sprite, maybe a tad bit smaller, it be fine, ill take it either way.



flashbang fix, woooooohoooooo finally!!

not watched any clan matches... but do they all run around with the awp and deagle?

To put it shortly, Yes. If they have the money, most of them do.

If you've been practicing with the awp for years, as you say, and can't get a kill now, you are just horrible.

[Supersonic^]

I got a few AWP kills today. It didn't take long for me to adjust to the changes, and I don't think it will take long for any of you either (unless you're a complete and utter noob)

[GonePostal]

The AWM was not nerfed. Valve simply fixed an exploit that so many people have been abusing for so many years. Quit bitching and learn to play the game properly.

[Cool Mo D]

since valve screwed up the crosshair ... i made a simple opengl crosshair hack and im gonna use it ... F*CK valve .... and since its just mine ... it wont be detected ...

Amazing... they KILLED the awp (when the awp>weapon>awp animation glitch never made firing faster anyways), yet they left the newbie ass M4 and AK alone. GJ VALVe, promote people from whoring one gun that wasn't dominating the game, while promoting the two most whore newb rifles in the game.



WORD OF ADVICE TO ALL: AWPERS WEREN'T THE NEWBS. THE NEWBS ARE THE ONES WHO USE M4 AND AK WHILE THINKING THEY AREN'T USING NEWB RIFLES.

Heres my two cents on the updates.



The crosshair...love it. Althought I can understand that some people would have an issue with it. Honestly though, there is very little change between the two. Its a mind trick, the crosshair bars are longer, therefor the gap between them seems bigger as well. IF there is a change, its very minimul and shouldnt affect your gameplay that much.



The AWP delay, FINALLY. No matter your opinion on the matter, the awp has been unbalancing gameplay for years. Its the only gun in the game with a one shot kill without having the be totaly accurate. People complain about the game not requiring that much skill, this is one of the reasons. The awp allows a non skilled player to own a skilled player, easily. The awp delay will hopefully balance this out. If you ask me, it should be removed completely.



The radar, sorry guys, check your resolution, and remember the engine its on. ITS NOT THAT BAD, REALLY. It shouldnt be something to be complaining about. You got your radar, and now you complain about it having jagged edges.



Ok, now that I've said that, one last thing. I have been around since Beta 5.2. I know how things go with updates. It comes out, people get mad because there was a change and they arent used to it, and they come to rant. Every other logical person that realizes these cahnges are evolving gameplay, and keeping the game new and alive stay in game, playing. You'll get used to the game in a month, and if you dont, you'll quit. BUT YOU'LL COME BACK. And when you come back you'll love it again, no matter the changes.



The truth of it is, if you hate the changes you come and rant, if you like/love/dont mind the changes you stay and play. AND THAT is why you see so many people complaining right now. All of the people that dont like the changes because they cant awp all the time/hit things/get used to the new WHATEVER, are here complaining.



Valve knows this, and thats why they wont change these things back.

[jojojohanson]

put the goddamn crosshairs back to the way they were!!!! And take off that damn awp/scout lag...so lame.

appended @ [time="1083258231"]

and if you were wondering...I am fucking leet

[Cmoney]

im at school and cant test it what did they change with the awp?

[jojojohanson]

there is a second of lag after you quickswitch back to it from pistol. You cant fire it right away, you gotta hold for a sec. way gay imho...it was never a problem for me to deal with and no i didnt awp all the time nor did I whine about it. Ive shanked plenty of awpers, there was no need for it to be nerfed. and the crosshairs look like the goddamn heavy weapons kit in Desert Combat. weak weak weak.

It's pretty sad that apparently league matches and strategy (and seemingly alot of public gameplay) has revolved around the AWP-pistol-AWP quickswitch bug. The scope/firing delay is only 1 second long and only happens after switching to the AWP, not between shots if the bolting animation completes as normal.



How can league players or überleet public players claim they are better than most at playing the game when they can't even handle or adapt to waiting an extra second to scope and fire their AWP after it is selected?



And what of the other 23 guns in the game? Are those not worthy of use because they can't frag fully armored players with 1 shot and 100% accuracy every 1.5 seconds, as the AWP could with the quickswitch bug used?
