CZ Sees First Major Update

[Kenshin]

"This game is currently unavailable. Please try again at another time."



But seriously, do you think they all sit around a big round table and go "hmmm, maybe we can delay the awp more...just to annoy them! And try to make the cross-hair big, that'll make 'em mad!"



Seriously people, these people are paid game developers that truly want to make a game better. Have they made it worse? of course not! They're trying to make this game as realistic as possible, so why complain that you can't be robo-cop and fire the awp 3x in a second? Don't you get annoyed when all people can do is awp? They're trying to make the game more acceptable to the VASTLY growing CS community, so don't be so self-centered and complain about how unfair the game is becoming.



If you want to play an arcade-shooter, get unreal! CS is a realistic-based shooter so if you can't deal with it, make better use of your time instead of complaining move to another game!

hmm... i dont think i WANt to get another headshot thanks to the odd sprite. Radar is good idea, crosshairs and awp delay are not. I can;t play normally cuz the gianormous crosshairs are distracting, I turn off dynamiccrosshair for a reason... get it together valve! Maybe they should ask for the opinion of , oh let's say, the people who play the damn game...

*cough* A realistic based shooter? Sorry, but I'm afraid all CS has going for it in the realism department is that getting shot in the head kills you...usually. Truly, this game should be more about how fun it is to play, rather than realism. If we want REALISM...why don't we make it so that getting tapped by any gun puts you down immediatly...or maybe you actually get shot through the computer...because thats as realistic as it gets. Realism does *not* make games fun. That is, unless you're some kind of sadistic bastard. Thats why they are games...and not real life.



At any rate, I know this AWP change is going to cause some major uproar/disturbanceintheforce with the League play community. For Pubs, the AWP fix is fine...because in a pub situation, the AWPer is the guy everyone wants to smash in the face with something heavy. But in league play, the AWP has been taken with a much different approach. Sometimes teams never even field an awp, because it isn't advantageous during that match, or they don't have the money reserves for it. The awp isn't a *problem* in League play, its a tool. But of course now that tool is kind of...broken.



Maybe now we are starting to see the true falling out between regular-CS and promode-CS.

[SpicySoljah]

well it's not THAT bad. But i restarted my comp and now it's telling me I have the wrong account information... I'm gonna play CoD for awhile...

[pawnguy]

wow, new headshot sprite? UGLY. new crosshair size? UGLY. new delay for switching weapons, most noteably the awp? BAD FOR GAMEPLAY.



im glad everything else was fixed/changed.. but come on guys. every change to gameplay that has been made has been disliked. this one included. i can handle the bad headshot sprite, maybe even the new crosshair size (although theres no reason that shouldnt be controlled by a cvar), but the new quickswitch delay makes the awp entirely useless.

This argument has occurred somewhere around 80 times in the comments before. Your side always loses. If people want realism, they play Raven Shield. If they want action gameplay they play Unreal Tournament(or some other variant). CS is inbetween with a rather heavy tilt towards action gameplay.



As for the update, I haven't played it so I have no opinion but I look forward to the fixed flashes.

[Ava3ar]

Is it just me or has no-one noticed they seem to have fixed flashbangs in spectator



and the knife seems different position(even different to DS)



also they seem to have finally fixed the (useful to some annoyin to others) awp->reload->switch deagle->switch awp full clip (without going through reload procedure)

[Kenshin]

ty, gpig. really :)



but even still, is it something to get THAT mad over? especially the awp thing. its just more fair for the not as good with the awp-ers.

[mojebs]

is there a way to update CS:CZ for offline (not w/ steam)?? cuz i don't like using steam to play CZ so i just use the ''regular'' icon/shortcut/program/whatever and my expert tour of duty isn't in my ''steam version''......



hopefully that wasn't too hard to follow....

[KarmaPolice]

Finally I could log into steam but:



Updating Counter-Strike 0%.



Im going to wait until tomorrow

[Ava3ar]

mojebs no (simple answer)
