The joy of counterstrike was that it WASNT an attempt to simulate reality. And it wasnt a completely false scifi type game like Unreal, Doom etc.
» No boosting. When you jump on someones head you slide off. If you stay next to a wall you can get on someone's head but neither of you can jump.This one's going to upset a lot of people, but it doesn't bother me too much. I never boosted much in the first place. Who knows, maybe that will be changed.
» You can pick up grenades from people that have died, but you can't drop 'nades.That was expected, and a very neat feature in CZ.
» When I tried to bind stopsound it said it was a cheat and that I couldn't use it in multiplayer.Huzzah!
» Grenades aren't HE Grenades anymore, they are Frag Grenades. If a 'nade blows up near you, you will go deaf and a ringing sound goes on. You also stop in your tracks and can't move anymore, for about 1-2 secs. Granades also push stuff away like barrels, guns, bodies.Sounds very neat, but I'm a little unsure about the "stop in your tracks" bit. We'll have to see how it affects gameplay.
» Smoke grenades look amazing now. The smoke fills up a lot more area, looks very real, and changes color depending on what light is hitting it. If you throw a smoke outside it looks gray you can see through it in some spots, but if you throw it in the tunnels it looks black/gray.Um, good.
» Flashes are also different. You can't duck flashes anymore; if a flash lands behind you, you still get flashed. The flash effect is crazy. The 1st thing that happens is your screen turns completely white. Then you start to see a snapshot of the last thing you saw puts it over the place your looking at now and a fog drag effect takes place.Fine by me. For those that have asked, the reason the flashbang would still affect you if it detonated behind you is that actual flashbangs don't rely on a burst of light. As I understand it, they use mainly sound to disorient.
» ex_interp is not a command anymore.Okay.
» The recoil seemed a little different for all guns.I don't know, I have my doubts. People say that about every release. Some weapons have probably been tweaked though.
» If you get shot it seemed like your accuracy goes to zero.Makes sense, but I'd like them to define "zero."

No boosting and getting blinded when you dont see the flash are not changes for the better. They're unnecessary and unasked for. The day CS has perfect realism (or damn well near it) is the day it becomes obsolete (edit: for me anyways).
KGarcia wrote..I'm confused, can you go into detail about this some more? I thought the grenade stopped you in your tracks, not blew you into the air, so how can they be boosting themselves with the grenades? I know in Q3 you could rocket jump by firing a rocket at your feet and jumping, which would launch you higher into the air.
nobody has mentioned anything about "grenade boosting". Everyone is exploiting de_dust by boosting themselves quake 3 style with grenades rofl. They boost up with the grenade then sky walk all around on top of walls your not supposed to be going onto... they can also see down through the walls.
I run a lan center and I've seen this being done both yesterday and today. This should be the first thing they fix in an update to the beta :)
KGarcia wrote..That sounds like something that will definitely be addressed. I hope.
