Source Update Released

[Thortok2000]

Now if only I could find a good CS:S server to play on...



500 servers playing zombie, 500 playing RPG, 500 playing gun game, 500 playing death match, the rest 24/7 on *one* map, like office or dust or the worst one of them all, fy_iceworld...



Whatever happened to good 'ol CS? Plantin' some bombs, rescuing some hosties, and doing it on more than 1-3 maps? All I see of any of the maps I would want to play are dust2 and office, I don't even really see dust all that much, just dust2.



Aztec, train, nuke, port, tides, all those exist already, and I'm sure by now there's some custom maps with objectives.



Of course, finding a server that plays maps with objectives is hard enough...trying to find DWP is _impossible_. I've used server browsers that can filter by DWP, and the only ones with DWP on that aren't running some mod like gungame are over in like Germany or France, or completely empty of human players and just have lots of bots running around. I don't wanna play against bots. =P

There should be more new official Source maps. Like compound, port, etc. All exclusive to Source.



What happened to Cliffe's?



And stop putting in so much garbage (so to speak) in your maps, ffs, Turtle Rock or whoever else made these Source conversions. Or fix the barrels if you're going to litter them around the map.



Shooting barrels and prop_physics were fun and all. For the first day. Then, you start stumbling over them. Not to mention the processing required =\



And just as pre-emptive defense: I have my own autoexec to limit props, graphics, et cetera.

Why? Whenever they make new maps, they're horrible. And then the shitty players and fanboys will put it on their map rotations, saying dumb shit like "but militia is a good map!"



Yeah right, assholes.

I agree with you somewhat there, i think in a city area map the bottles and garbage fit (ie. assault and tides) and make it a bit more believable. But in most other maps they don't fit. I do like barrels and filing cabinets especially on servers where you can move them and jump on them ect., I feel it ads a new dynamic (especially on office where you can truly barricade yourself with the hostages).

Don't worry! They made the elimination of props a client cheat recently. Just so that you know why that guy was firing into the ground... he was performing the important task of blasting a dinky glass jar. Which you wouldn't have seen with no props.

Hopefully this will be implemented into Dystopia ASAP

now that we've gotten past the hurdle of codec quality, the quality (or lackthereof) of player's microphones is going to become much more noticable.

And soundcards. Seems that some with integrated sound are having more issues than those with separate cards. I haven't played yet to see how mine sounds, but I'm sure it'll be fine (X-Fi).

I hate my X-Fi fatality and I hate creative for making a product that is incompatable with 75% of nforce4 boards but not actually telling you this until you fork out your money for one.



Assholes.



Useful update I guess.

My audigy 2 doesn't sound good with this mic. Thing is, it's a cheapo logitech free-standing thing, that is probably worth more for scrap parts.

[DevgruSeal H.E]

I have a simple little Audigy. $30 at Newegg. Works perfectly. Then again I'm just a headset guy, and I don't need 5.1 surround sound to sense an enemy.

Weird. I sound perfectly clear over Ventrilo, or just recording in general, but with this new update, I sound super high-pitched and scratchy.

Maybe a joke about Ep2's extra 2 hours being commercials pissed off someone at Valve and they decided to get back at you

[entRo]

If only. That'd mean they're listening to the shit we say about the shit they do.
