So after playing it some more. Basically we get content that is from deleted scenes. Models are nice, but the sounds could still use some work. As most of them are pretty much the same as what you already have.

This wouldn't be too bad if the delay was only there after you fired, but the delay is there whether you have fired your weapon or not. Switching to pistol is not just for quick-switch-firing after all. It affords you greater mobility, and lets you assert your surroundings before you switch back to the sluggish rifle which leaves you less mobile and more vulnerable to close-range attacks. This is essential when assaulting with an awp, which will now be harder since you can't run with your pistol/knife and then take on a defending target without exposing yourself to the initial delay. How adverse this change is on the game... I guess time will decide that. But it doesn't just fix quick-switching, it "fixes" switching, period.
Seems the AWP was fixed rather than nerfed. It still does the same damage and the rate of fire is still the same as it has been, if you just let the bolting animation play instead of trying to quickswitch and insta-scope/shoot. Were the AWP users really that dependent on the quickswitch bug that they can't adapt to a one-second delay before being able to scope after switching to the gun?
My previous makes it look like I'm madly obsessed over how ruined CS now is, but it's not nearly as much about the actual change as it is about my views on sniping in CS in general.
It's really hard to judge how much this will hinder the usefulness of the awp. It will be interesting to see, that's for sure.Comment

All Steam Games
WOOHOOOOOOOOOO SOME MORE!!
» Improved game demo recording performance under Steam
BEST. STEAM. UPDATE. EVAR.
I had no trouble updating either. Logged in perfectly fine and quickly too. Updates were downloaded very quickly.appended @ [time="1083231076"]
Hmmm. I haven't got a chance to play it yet, so I don't know what the AWP nerfing is all about. I updated this morning just before I left for school.
Has the AWP been nerfed? In CZ only, or in both? Someone explain :xComment

I'm glad as all hell to see the awp issue fixed. You actually need to have a bullet in the chamber to scope it, as scoping wouldn't do much good with no round to fire. Looks like Valve finally took the community of kids who think skill is how fast you can quickswitch and snapshot some guy and grabbed them by the necks and said "Listen here sonny, you can't kill someone without a bullet." I applaud Valve for this step... no, leap, forward in game balance.
Crosshairs? I'm more of an AK guy, I haven't had a great deal of trouble with the big crosshairs, it was just something else I adjusted to, like the shield (BTW, has anyone else found it easier to kill shield-bearers recently? I mean they haven't been hard for me ever, but now it's like they're begging for a bullet) and jumping. I haven't found the guns to be any less accurate, so I presume it's just a little tougher to center a melon in your crosshairs now. Let me get my kleenex.
The HS sprite? Again, just something I will adjust to. I don't really need to know what weapon someone got capped with, but, eh. It is just a tad large though, if it was small enough so it didn't overlap the kills below it, it would be more tolerable, but it kinda gives more of a "headshot" feel to it... bullet in the skull, what else can you ask for?
Radar? Eh, ain't broke, don't fix it. However, it's an option, not a new standard. MOOT POINT.
CZ stuff? I don't have CZ, it doesn't interest me, my comp is good enough to play other games, CS isn't really my primary game. I guess I can't comment on what I haven't tried. Oh wait.
Crap. I'm all out of Kleenex.Comment

I'm probably going get bitched at now, but cliffe, I'm going to say it to you straight.... in my opinion, valve will lose out in the long run, you seem to not care at all about your fan base, and you are basically screwing with cs, if it ain't broke cliffe, then hey... why fix it? i for one, have quit CZ and cs1.6 for now (i may have a few goes on public servers now and again) but if i feel like playing cs, its gonna be a game of cs1.5 for me.
i honestly don't know what you were thinking with the awp/cross hair update.. it's a really silly decision, but hey, you make the game.. who are your customers to argue with you?
edit: by the way, some of the updates are well done, for example the buy package and the flash bang bug fix, so I'm not entirely hating the whole update, just the idiotic parts of the update.
oh and btw cya valve, cs was fun while it lasted, but now i think its officially past its sell by date, and if cs1.6/CZ is anything to go off, then i doubt i will buy half life 2, i have a free voucher anyway so i will see what its like through that coupon maybe.
edit 2: cliffe a quick question for you, how long will WON be up for?Comment

im seriously gonna go to 1.5 if they dont roll back this crap updateComment

The AWP lag semms pretty okay to me. I'm not sure I like the "new" CZ shield though. The shape is kinda weird :) And I would like the dots on the radar to be a tad bigger. I can hardly see them with the opaque version...Comment

Good - sorry to see you go

Freaking whiners. ADAPT. AWP < RAILGUN
Anyone here ever get the Bravo 4 designation? They, like I, will actually appreciate this change.
Quickswitch for me has never been anything but an emergency option if I run out of ammo during a firefight - not some fancy exploit to railgun some asshole. Stop you bitching - the update is fine.
Also - if you people complaining about headshot and radar sprites weren't CS newbs you'd have the ugly things fixed already.
Just adapt. Real life doesn't have exploits - better learn your lessons now - people don't like to be around others who whine about unfair changes. Read a book called, "Who Moved My Cheese" and you'll know what I'm talking about.Comment

wtf??? I can't log into steam...damnit I wan't this updateComment

Geeeezzzz... somebody call the WAAAAAHHHHmbulance for the whiners. *rolleyes* Anyway, I think the changes will be good for rooting out the awp h00rz,(FINALLY) the updated skins/sounds are a big welcome change too. As far as the icons, radar(you actually have a choice btw) and crossairs are concerned, I will be too busy running and gunnin to really notice, much less care. =^D Try to enjoy the game and the update folks, if you don't like the changes, then go find something else to take up for a hobby that's more your speed perhaps... like knitting. ;^pComment

But my knitting needles have a delay! WAAAAAAAAAHHHH!Comment
