CS:S Seoul Impressions

[popewax|psycho]

#15 Kommunistsvin , yeah mid on dust2 does look a bit larger than the current version, so I don't think its just you

[Damien4]

I sure hope that if they made maps bigger, that they only made them just a wee tiny bit bigger or else we're gonna be looking at forum post after forum post of clan players talking about how valve ruined the game without talking to the players, aaaaaand I don't want to have to endure those posts.

[ph33r.hell_raiser]

looks good, you can see that they made the maps bigger (look at the pictures where he is in mid, and t spawn).

ummm .... take a look at the graphics of cs now ...... and ask yourself why your still playing and if your not ... then i dont really want to hear your opinion



my point is that graphics dont matter much so who cares if it doesnt look like farcry or doom3 .... its CS ... its not either of those two games ... its the game people have been playing for 5+ years and still draws such a crowd that companies pay more for competitions on it than any other game



plz people ...keep in mind this is a PORT .... im not a game designing guru but i do believe that there is a HUGE diff between porting an engine into a game w/ 5 year old code and creating a game w/ code surounding and taking advantage of the engine



the reason they are having such problems w/ stuff such as map size, object pathways/movement, and character movement is that they are REWRITING the old cs code to take advantage of the new engine ... its like taking a pipe holding x amount of water and makinga new pipe (i.e. engine) and then running the same amount of water thru the new bigger pipe ... somebody has to go back and turn on more water to fill it up



honestly .... be patient .... IMHO the only reason they are rushing this right now is because they had free time while the others did damage containment from the hacker and decided they would give us the port SOONER than what would have happened .... its possible that we are getting the port at the same time we would have if hl2 had come out last fall its just they didnt have as much manpower available due to damage control



my ranting sry so long

you're analogy makes no sense. heres a better one. theyre porting an old game from an old engine, to a new engine, but the games the same.

My pants are moist with anticipation.

the women on the video has *the* most annoying voice ever.

I gotta hand it to valve, CS Source looks Great. The maps they redid look spectacular. I noticed how they added plenty of objects to play with, barrels, tables etc. It is great what they did for the CS Community for enhancing the experience CS has given us for years.

[DeSpiSe Me]

I cant wait! It sucks how it's pushed back AGAIN/SOMEMORE. I was hoping for a mid/late summer realsease. If they release a demo for HL2 I'd be set until release. Or maybe something like the one "glass house" map in Red Faction to show off the physics and stuff. Please valve, I beg of you! I think i'd even pay for the demo hahah

Wtf are we going to be able to do dance in this game? What does dancing have to do with anything

lol, u are completely wrong on the 'this game is 5+ years old in graphics' wtf? LOOK THEY JUST MADE NEW GRAPHICAL UPDATES, DUMBASS!! and u say that graphics dont matter? well..thats your crappy opinion, not everyone elses. id like to see this game have graphics of pacman, an see if u still play. see if leagues still exist. see if hl2 will even get bought, see if ppl even like cs. of course not! graphics are the eye-candy, the grabber, the attention of the game, without them, the game is nothing but a story.

i know! I had to turn the sound off just about 1 minute in.

[Smurfzilla]

look at the hunchback models..this game looks better but i can tell it will blow =/ valve always ruins things, i love it. the legs are so choppy when u run, and they look like eggheads

[happybelly]

Whenever I try to play either of the video clips I get the error: 0xC00D1199: Cannot play the file. Anybody else getting this problem?
