I've never played tides before, but it looks great, I am really happy to see a new official map. I have no interest in the bots at all. Serisouly, who wants to play against stupid bots when you can jump on a server and play with real people.

I'm guessing it's the people who aren't around an internet connection at the time but still want their CS fix....

I'm personally hoping you can set the bots to not show up on playercounts, and have them get autokicked when a player joins. I like full servers, so that would be great from my point of view.

is it me or are they never going to release a new de_train de_inferno de_nuke i mean really can you please stop with the retarded updates like bots who uses bots?we could use some of the classic cs maps please dbagz

Tides is a fun fast furious map. Personally I would like to move away from the same ol same ol. Lets put nuke, train, inferno etc. away. We have enough of the classics. Lets do something new.

sounds cool

[Thortok2000]

Actually, I rarely play nuke and train on pubs. Inferno, aztec, dust, dust2...let's put /those/ away. But already too late for the main three. They have made a CS:S dust2, right?



But even the maps I don't like, they still look better in CS:S.

[ph03nix(k)]

I dont know if i speak for anyone else but, fuck tides, fuck prodigy, fuck bots.

Inferno, Nuke, Train plz kthx

[MikeJ]

Prodigy is cool, but yeah train/nuke would be jawesome.



Bots are jawesome too though and I'm looking forward to some hot AI action :)

AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME

I pointed it out in another thread, and I'll do so again: There is an excellent Source port of train out now (unfortunately, I got it from a server and haven't been able to find another source for it to link to here). It's nearly identical to the original, and plays superbly. There are a couple of minor problems (the ground by T spawn is covered with really shitty attempts at puddles that look terrible, and it's foolishly named just de_train), but overall it's just as good as the original. If anybody knows what I'm talking about and can a link to it, that would be great. Anyway, as far as the news goes, any additions and new maps are an improvement in my opinion.

Must have.. train..

[Sapphire]

damn I want all the cz maps ported to source, all the way from de_fastline_cz to de_stadium_cz.



ps: it's now 9:50 central time where I am......WHERE ARE THOSE BOTS?!!!!

You can download that port of de_train from Punkassfraggers here. They also have de_trainyard which I also like.



They both need work, but as you say, it's not like these maps aren't around in some form. de_nuke_b8 is good although not final and it shows, and another conversion de_go_nuke looks particularly tasty but is still in testing. There are about 4 infernos out there, of which 2 are also nice.

What do you expect? I bought an incomplete game.



Dont get me wrong, Ive flamed and shouted at people all over the net (even here I believe) for whining at Valve for no HL2DM.



However I can understand theyve got alot todo, DODS;HL2DM maps, Expansion pack; Source engine to complete (look in the sdk, theres alot to complete) and the SDK, however as time goes on its up to Valve to step up to the plate.



Im sure they've got there money back from HL2 and can afford the extra staff, for gods sake hire more mappers/ Im starting to think all these whiners are right - theyve had months and months to fix up CSS, but all weve got is like 8 maps, 2 models and a sheet of bugs.



Valve need to prioritize, get CSS sorted ASAP.



(edit; They'll never please us all, hence the whiners, but at the end of the day there is a HUGE growing community of CS players who wont switch over unless Valve sort it out, ATM CSS isnt that appealing when you compare it to a dated ugly, yet finely tuned CS).

Quoted because he is right!



So we just have to wait 3-8 months to get what we already paid for.

[SushiEF101]

its already 11:05 here, central time. I was expecting this. Valve is late again for their release date. I just hope we dont have to wait 6 more years for these bots.....
