Steampowered forums sounds like an awful place to submit suggestions.



They should make you pay $1-5 per suggestion to weed out all of the stupid suggestions that clearly have massive flaws. Valve doesn't have time to look at 20 posts a day on suggestions (that have most likely been repeated).

Pay to post a suggestion that won't get consideration? Where do I sign up???//qmarkforwardslashforwardslash

The point is, there will be less suggestions, and only long thought-out suggestions are likely to be submitted; not "LOL BAN AWP NOEW."



Like signing up for CS-Nationlist, Rizzuh would probably take a CS-Nationlists suggestions over some random guy throwing them out at him, because they give him pizza money.

Mmmm.....pizza. I know what I'm eating for dinner tonight :)

So, does anyone know what topics were actually discussed (I can read the agenda above for the high points, but curious if those topics were addressed), and was any sort of consensus reached? Do they have any plans to take their findings to Valve for comment?

Doesnt matter.



Unless you're paying for Gabe's sandwiches he wont listen to you.

Myself and a few others on the forums had made suggestions that were implemented. Most notably the new my games window.

I was going through my autoexec, and saw cl_downloadfilter "nosounds".



Now there was a useful update. No more having to wait to download these useless annoying sounds to download to hear everytime someone got 4 kills in a row without dying, or getting a headshot.

[entRo]

Yeah, too bad that useful update was one of the last useful ones we got, and it was years ago.

[DaRk-AnGeL]

Having read the debate transcript, I really can't find the part about where they try and get the importance of the current situation of CS:S over to Valve.....



And Valve don't even want to speak about the issue, they are content to let a game which had so much potential fall to the dogs....

[ukHazard]

Doesn't a debate usually have opposing arguments? Rather than a somewhat agreeable discussion between like-minded people?



I thought there was a modicum of ignorance. No worthwhile competition has ever used Dynamic Pricing, and yet it's touted as one reason why 1.6 and Source are so different.

What if Counter-Strike debated the future of Xfire instead?



Oh YEAAAAH!!

Best response to a debatable question in a debate ever.

You made my day =)

Couldn't you have just typed cl_allowdownload 0 and reconnected?

I'm always surprised that more folks don't bring up the major, major difference between 1.6 and source; you can't shoot through walls!



One of the main reasons I have pretty much dropped 1.6 is because getting awped through every piece of masonry/wall/furniture on a map gets pretty dull after a while. I understand that learning every inch of a map to the point of godliness can win matches, but playing against a player who doesn't even have to see you, just guess that you're there and click Mouse1 isn't much fun on publics...



Source does still have it's problems, probably more than 1.6 has, but I find it fun to play against people who haven't been playing the game 10 hours a day for the past 7 years. That's my own problem I know, but at least it means source stays fresh for me :)
