When he said "this doesn't mean there will be a patch," does that mean there will definetly not be a patch, or just that they're not promising one?

was 6 m4 shots to the chest and 5 ak shots the the chest, as well as 2 shots from either to the head to kill someone (assuming full armor). Now its 5 m4 shots to the chest and 4 ak shots to the chest. The amount of damage increase was very minor (1.15%).

i dont know but i find the weapons strong, and they put it stronger, mmmmm maybe its to accomodate those individuals complaining that it dont kill fast enough cuz they can "really" aim. It takes like 1 shot in the head and 4-5 shots with on the body, and you know firing 4-5 shots with a machine gun is so fast lets say max 1 second. Now counterstrike the bullets are a bit off and they are much stronger

Two issues:
1) Two players on the same team can have the exact same name. This causes issues .. and yes I understand they have different player id numbers; however when using radio commands or whatever it causes confusion. The other side is that it can be used to harass a player (note second Player1 is different):

Player1: I AM A CLOWN
Player1: I didn't say that

2) Radio spamming? Did I miss that? Was anything done? How many times have a I heard someone yell "Be Careful" through AN ENTIRE ROUND. Ugh.

What is so wrong with leaning and having free back-and-forth *and* side-to-side movement? For lean whores, such as myself, this is going to suck. Any particular reason why this change was made?

Aside from that change, nothing else seemed like it would be that irritating.

- grenade timer reduced from 5 seconds to 3 seconds

/pounds fist on table repeatedly in anger

Oh well; I'm not even able to download a new test for four months, let alone play the game online within that time span. Five-second grenade fuses ruled; anyone who threw a grenade too soon was ineffective, and anyone who burned off the fuse without staying behind cover was bullet bait. Then again, that's probably exactly why the fuse time was reduced.

All in all a damn impressive list. I know how much work that many changes are, by jiminy they're rocking if they got all that done in the couple weeks the MPtest has been out.

I am fully down to buy this game I think, and I think it spells the end of my RCTW MP playing, bigtime (and hopefully the end of my meddling with CS).
