I have to admit, for the first few rounds I was just shooting physics objects with my USP! It's so neat!



I tried it, and it worked. I think suggested to Jess that they should seriously consider removing that command. Ambience either needs to be on or off for all players on a server, or it's just not fair. In this case, I would support a server-side variable because I know the competitive community is used to silent maps.



However, I think it's worth leagues keeping ambience on. As long as it's fair, no one is getting hurt. Any other competitive players agree with me?

I completely agree.

GREAT article!.. great writing rizzuh.. i felt like i was actually playing the BETA.. but not



the MP5 loookkkss sooo sexy :) great job.



I think the hands could definitely be improved, especially the FINGERNAILS. Please add some specularity to the nails (if it isnt there already) and maybe some normal mapping on the skin texture.



overall.. too damn sexy. AWESOME job :).

I didn't knock over barrels with the USP. There were plenty of small physics objects in Dust 2!

but in some videos, large metal barrels get knocked down by a bullet. I doubt that's physicaly possible (CONSERVATION OF MOMENTUM GUYS!)



also, in some videos, the barrel looks weightless.. it just bounces around (especially when squished between a player and a surface).



original CS we got bunny hopping.. in CS:Source we got barrell humping. SWEET.

if you cant, im saying good bye to this game ive enjoyed for so long, only to change for the worst for some petty graphics..

Great article. CSNation has really led the way with CS: Source coverage. You guys get a gold star on your report card.



What's with all the whining? The game looks great, and should be a lot of fun. If you're really that peeved about the AWP delay or some other ridiculously minor point of the game play, maybe you ought to start drinking less Mountain Dew.



I'm a little bummed to hear that DOD:S won't be available at release. It's such a great game, and with great graphics to match it ought to be able to compete with Call of Duty. Oh well, I guess I'll have to make due with HL2 and CS:S for a few months. What a shame.



I just hope my GeForce can handle all of this.

I probably will be out of commission for weeks just based on school work and HL2 alone.

As soon as my girlfriend found out how addicted i am to CS/HL stuff I told her we're going to have a month or two break unless she wants to bunk at my house with her computer heh, she just looked confused. (I know, i'm not a real CS'r because of my affiliation with the other sex)

Yeah I have noticed that that particular problem has been fixed, I just picked it as a convenient example.
