It pisses me off to hear that people think the awp change was a "fix". THERE WAS NO EXPLOIT TO BEGIN WITH! DON'T FIX IT IF IT AIN'T BROKEN!!!!! Shooting from the awp, switching to a pistol and back to awp (before the update) and then shooting again would save NO TIME AT ALL. NOW, however, there's like a 2 second delay and it just fucked up the awp big time. I don't want to hear any more bitching about the "exploit" in the awp, because there was no exploit in the first place. Goddamn ignorant fags.

I guess I adapted faster than some... just got back from a 26-4 run on AZH (Arizona Hazards, a serv I'm normally closer to 20-10 on)
That solid radar kinda draws my eyes to it... I'm leaving it the way it was before...
I'm really liking the wider cosshairs, I'm getting used to really centering an enemy as opposed to putting lead in their direction.
Oh, and I UMP'd a few people all the way down long A. I was standing in the pit and I capped some guy who was trying to deagle me since his AWP switch didn't make him 1337pwn anymore. That weapon is a dream. If only they made it fire faster. Just a tad faster, it doesn't need to be P90 or MAC10 fast, or even MP5 fast, it just feels a little on the sluggish side, kinda like an autosniper without a scope. Maybe now that more people might be using it, we'll see more, better skins for it? The default is A-OK, but I'd really like to see someone (Hopsefloh, Kissle?) knock one out of the park in the UMP skin department.
Just... they haven't quite fixed the AWP, as it is STILL ALL THE HELL OVER THE PLACE. FFS, it is a one hit kill weapon as long as you hit them in anywhere other than the limbs, and it's not the most expensive item on the CT list. Kinda unbalanced, it is. Maybe if it was the absolute most expensive item in the game, like $5500 or something, it would keep people from whoring it out Saigon style.
The menu changes are pretty. Just a little aesthetic flair for posterity, it seems. Fine by me. Kinda adds a more "mission" feel to it for me, like it's an actual GUI display and not some damn pesky popup.
And that's all I have to say about that.Comment

It's all about adaptation.
If a little thing like AWP delay spoils your fun playing CS and doesn't able you to be L33T, quit the game and play something else.
All the whining shows that how petty players can be and not appreciate all the trouble Valve has done to keep the game polished.
Valve might not have a very strong track record when it comes to games, but at least they are trying.
CS isn't a Unreal Tournament or Quake, it's pretty much a class of it's own, with it's own distinct flavor of fantasy and realsm.
Giving the AWP a delay is simply to balance it. Mind you it's a 1 shot kill weapon. Be grateful that Valve hasn't add the kind of recoil/aiming that Day of Defeat uses.Comment

The awp is priced about right for it's effectiveness except that the para and t autosniper are more expensive and neither of them kill in one hit.
Does the awp still kill if it hits you in the arm? If it does, fix it so it doesn't. Awp should kill head and chest only.
Frankly, the thing needs to be dumbed down so that it isn't useful anymore. On pubs in particular, a team gets 2-3 of these, they're basically going to win until the next map change or until the other team gets an awp. It's essentially a required weapon for a team, on pubs.
AK, M4, and awp...something just needs to be done. They pretty much are CS. The other guns just don't cut it. The t autosniper is pretty good, except that a good awper will still own it.Comment

they did fix some stuff, but not in this update. the radar is the only fix, the crosshairs are bs. the awp is not a fix. we're tired of valve trying to polish the game and instead making us end up as beta testers. which shouldnt be the case the game has been out of beta stages for 5 years. changes that are made should be carefully considered. there should be no controversy whatsoever because then its not a fix, its a test.

if trying made everything okay, what is the point of grades. theyve failed in too many areas
CS isn't a Unreal Tournament or Quake, it's pretty much a class of it's own, with it's own distinct flavor of fantasy and realsm.
and valve is toying with the flavor and making it more and more like a raven shield9realism bs) wannabe

balance it... wtf does balance it mean, everyone says that. its not balancing it, theres nothing on the other end of the scale. its nerfing it pure and simple. nerfing: to decrease the performance of something.Comment
