HL v1108 & CS v1.3 Today

Hi, what's with these redundant CS update articles :)

I'd like to see a double de mode, where both teams have to plant a bomb in different spots. And defusing wouldn't end the round, only successful detonation or killing off the other team. How crazy would that get?

I have the 11071108.exe (tx, NoRulez) -- getting cs10021003.exe from 3DGamers now. Does anybody have an FTP I can up these to? I'm sitting behind a gay-ass flamer-wall....... makes sharing pretty tough.

I wonder how these new patches will affect http://www.mp3.com/djkb

Hahah... I think a truely mean hacker would hack the csnation or some other site posting CS mirrors, and link to the IP of CNN.com... instant DNS type attack :P

Notices
Mr. Johnson from Valve has notices that all CS players should pay attention to:
- If you have an ATI video card, you must run in D3D for the time being. This is a bug that is being worked on.
- Uninstall any OpenGL passthru cheats or you'll be kicked from all servers.

yey...

CS mirrors are going up boys

Ten minutes until 11 PST!

Download servers, brace for impact

Be prepared to hear wicked reverb coming off my coke cans and all other kinds of trash around my comp.

Does anyone know when the new version of DoD is coming out? Supposedly it will use the same voice technology.

if only earthlink could get us NY dsl customers back with normal dsl pings... right now i get about 250ms ping times to anywhere on the internet. :-(

Oh, and don't think you're safe when you blast someone who had an HE primed.

Gee, finally. The HE not going off when you died was really suck.

Is anyone else tried of waiting?

Five bucks says that the on-campus dedicated servers here don't get upgraded for two weeks.

What is up with TF2?

Is valve going to release any info on it? Tell us what the deal is...is it dead..is it alive? Can we expect it in 2002? I honestly dont remember the last time I heard any info on it. They semed to be making progress, untill they decided they had to have the "Commander" class and a new engien. Now it is like four years away!

What I have noticed about game developers and giving information about up comming titles is this:

There are two models to folow.

1. You keep every thing hush hush about the game. You may anounce it, but you dont release any screen shots, or video... Maybe you let a little info out when your polishing the game, but you dont show your hand untill your ready to realese it.

2. You let the community in on what your doing from day one.... you have screen shots on fan pages, and movies showing what your doing. You have message boards for input from the comunity, and your developers can share in the progress of the game...you then have some "MP Test" and some tech demos to help squash bugs and tighten the game play and balance of items and ideas!

Now, my take on these two aproaches...... Im actualy not realy picky on which way they do it... Some examples of type one are Max payne, and Duke4... Max is a good example of being surprised when game comes to market...3d realms kept there hand close to the vest, and were rewarded..there title was origanal...there is no let down factor, because there was no hype with the game. My fealing is that this is the industrys new standard on how to develop a title! I dig it.... I just go about my buisness...and when a game is done, it is done!

Example of way 2 would be Quake, quake2, quake3, Wolf, etc...this is good and bad... the good is that when the game comes out, we know what to expect. Most of us either love it or hate it, but we know...so we can decide befor we even buy it(publishers might not like that so much!)... the games are usualy tighter, because most bugs have been found in testing.

The problem... TF2 could not decide which way to go! At first they took aproch number 2... this was a good time..we saw footage from what they had..we got screen shots all the time..... Then, they went into media black out...now were all hanging..and games are comming out that look very simaler to what tf2 was suposed to be... imho this is not good for tf2.... if they had either adopted plan #1 from the beging, or stuck to #2 we would atleast beable to say"Im gona wait for tf2, cause I can see it is going to be the bomb!"...or we would no nothing about it, and when it came out we would all be surprised, at the inovation . But now I doubt that anything they do is going to be inovating, because they showed there hand 2 years ago...and are still working!

It is sad, because it ws the game I was most looking forward to... valve should have leared the leason they taught every one...and that is it is much easyer to develop a game that you dont have to do everythign..ie, now they are writing a engine, and desighning content.... it is to much of a task now a days to deliver a bleading edge game, with good content....

Anyone else find this funny? Speakeasy asked erik what serers he plays on I think expecting him to say "Speakeasy.net of course!"

"Last Question: What servers do you play on, when you have time to play?

[Erik Johnson] Mostly internally on our LAN lately, getting everything ready for the next release.

Thanks Erik!?

www.counter-strike.net down for anyone else right now or just me?

I'll never understand what is so much fun about this game...

CS 1.3 out?

Just a curiosity question... aren't patches supposed to fix the game and hinder a need for future patches? What's the talk with another patch already? I'm not an avid cs player, and WolfTest is the first game I've actually been entertained by in months, but I would think that patching stuff is to... well... fix current bugs.

Cut the crap, bring on the meat!

If the Wolf test knocked Fileplanet off the net, I can't wait to see what this does
Put in a good effort guys :D

is this the patch that makes the remaining 10 Quake3 players start playing CS?

I CANT WAIT TO YELL AT LITTLE FEGGETS LIKE JOKEMON

Is it just me or is everyone else finding HL + mods more enjoyable than Q3? Damn you ID.. what have you done.

Hopefully Doom III should change that - because TF2 looks like vaporware at the moment.

Who cares about TF2 anymore?

"It's headshot time!"

Shouldn't these people be working on new games or summat?

You know, in a year or so, after continual patches and upgrades, I think Valve is gonna all of the sudden say "Congratulations, you now have TF2!" and then send us bills for $50.

blue has the hl server Love up!!!
