mailbag: august 22nd, 2006

[CSN NewsBot]

Here it is! For those who have been with CS-Nation for a few years, you should remember what these things called "mailbags" are all about. For the new guys, the mailbag is simply a way for the community to voice their opinion on a particular topic, and then to have their opinion met with a response from me. Granted, this was my first ever mailbag experience, I don't think I did too bad of a job.

They ruined the gameplay when they made source. They make more and more changes and it's just not the same anymore. I can see the radar change being helpful but a bit stupid really. The key to the game is communication, not just looking at enemies and everyone else being able to then know EXACTLY where they are. They don't realise what they're doing to the game.

If you hadn't noticed already, this mailbag is all about what people think of Valve's plans for slightly modifying the core Counter-Strike gameplay in CS: Source. First up for release this week is an updated radar system and HDR added into a reworked Train.

The Comments for each news post is where everyone gets rammed in their face everyone else's opinions. The Mailbag was always for rizzuh to shit wit on everyone. This mailbag is like your average Comments thread only with 60% more Zips.



That's what they were for me anyway.

I figured this was the case once I realized that I was barely even skimming the "mail" and just skipping down to Zips' comments. I imagine some other older members did the same kinda thing by habit.

Pretty much exactly the same thing as the comments for the news post about the radar changes.

Wasn't it usually answered by asspennies, rottencrotch, or someone equally unsavorily titled?

90% of the people who complain about changes are 15 year old crack addicts, i've seen it every time since beta 6.5



i aint played CS for 2 years, but i used to play it on and off every few months, but pwning n00bs just gets boring



you also eventually grow out of it and find better things to do

I die inside a little bit if anyone mentions still being a Beta, or hitboxes.

[Grimbal]

Hey that wasnt the whole of my post!, its just like the news on television they only put in the things they want you too hear and see! i have been edited!!! aaahhhh!



It doesnt seem to be that bad from what i read but would of been better if ya didnt cut and edit peoples letter's tho...



Which is abit of a shame

[EviLuoTioN]

wtf improve the engine instead of the gameplay...lets start with the goddamn hitboxes that are 5 feet off! Stupid valve

Zips reply about the 1.6 being beta is retarded..I know it was a joke but still.. Its an older game, obviously they arent going to go back and add all the new stuff to older games. Thats like calling HL1 a beta, because Valve needs to go back and add the gravity gun.. Im not saying they should put the extra CZ models in source.. but that point was just stupid.

[DevgruSeal H.E]

I know you're joking as well, but there isn't an application in HL1 for the gravity gun. Story- or gameplay wise..

CSS doesn't need the models either. It didn't need any of the models that were added. Valve/TRS could have easily stuck with one model per team and it'd still have been "final" and not in BETA. These additional models are nothing more than bonuses. The game isn't lacking any models, it's just lacking the bonus content.



So if you go by Mad Dog's logic, because CS1.6 doesn't have the two additional models, it is a BETA. That is, if you follow his logic.

I think they will add the 2 remaining models sooner or later. the auto select is on key 6 :)

Damn right I got on there.
