More Counter-Strike: Source Changes Coming

An economy in some ways hints at selling as well as buying. Would be interesting if you could sell back weapons though that seems rather pointless.

Really though, what I'd like to see is a limit to the number of AWPs and AutoSnipers in action per team. That would completely solve the issue of everyone on the winning team grabbing AWPs and locking down the losing team since they can't traverse a single hallway or alleyway without getting dead. Currently the AWP is the instant server clearer, because once they start coming out in quantity, the losing team starts leaving the server because the fun factor evaporates.

The economy is fine. Everything else is fine. Just limit the number of AWPs via a server-side variable. That way people can enable the AWP and AutoSniper without having to worry about the game getting ruined.

I'd limit it to two per team total of AWPs and AutoSnipers. So you could have a max of two of either or one of each. Perfect solution, really, and much like many other games. People very quickly get used to having to wait to be a sniper if there are already two on their team. Or they can take a Scout and still be a sniper, unlike in other games where you straight-up can't be a sniper if the max per team has been met.

Maybe they'll finally wake up and realize that the current CS model is completely unbalanced rewarding the winning teams until they just keep winning. It'd be nice to reverse the whole retarded way the game works and help a losing team, thus providing more parity and better matches. But I'm admittedly not a fan of the game anyway, without the ability to respawn it can get pretty boring. I play games to actually play not watch (regardless of how good or bad anyone is at the game, if you die that's the rule, you sit and watch, which is definitely not my bag).

I can see why it would be fun for some because it certainly provides that 'one more try' mentality and the simplistic nature of the gameplay also has its own appeal for its crowd of fans. I AM curious, however, what the nature of these changes would be...

Bravo on updating a classic, been playing CS since 1999, however I am afraid they might ruin the game if they made anything too cheap, the team that wins should get extra money for doing well IMO.

The only change I really want at this stage in the game is maybe making the AWP $10,000, that would leave it in but make it a goal to work too.

I also kind of wish they would just get rid of the AWP, I ONLY play on AWP-restricted servers and it makes the game much more energetic and faster.

please please make it so when you lose a couple times your not reduced to SMGs while the other team tears you apart with rifles. Unless you get a lucky kill and pick up something better, it sometimes leads to the other team consistantly owning the other

For each successive win the champion team should recieve deminishing returns so after like 5 or 6 straight wins their purse isn't as insurmountable as I've found it could be.

i think its great that they have the guts to make changes to such a classic, i just hope that they think it through and playtest it more than just internally with the devs

Can we please have Condition Zero Hostages?

- try to escape on their own
- beg for their lives if you whip out the knife
- hollar at CT's

Blast from the past:
".: COUNTER-STRIKE: CONDITION ZERO V1.2 COMING NEXT WEEK
Version 1.2 of CS:CZ will be released next week via Steam. The update includes high-definition hostage models with all-new AI, 2 new player models, brand new maps, and other enhancements.

The improved hostages will show emotions such as fear, attempt to escape on their own if ignored, and even talk to the player to give clues about what they've seen. "

Now what's so wrong with that?

Two words: Persistant Stats. BF2 Has it. 360 has it. Folks like it. Make it happen.

It's neat and all that they're willing to modify this game after this long, but I could really care less about the radar and economy changes. What I want are some new gameplay modes and some new maps. Or even just bring back a deceased gameplay mode like VIP.

AK-47 FOR EVERYONE!

AWP 16000? AKs and M4A1s more expensive as well, cheaper pistols?

whatever they do, there will be LOTS of people that'll bitch until they rollback the game to the very first release

I'm interested what the price changes will be...

Make the weapons cheaper, and the game will be a bit more "even". Make the good weapons (rifles) a lot more expensive, and the first two rounds of a game are going to play a huge role in the final outcome of a match with a limited number of rounds.

i'd say cheaper pistols, more expensive rifles, AND BRING BACK THE RIOT SHIELD!!!

How about, no accuracy whatsoever on the AWP unless you crouch first?

The best simple change they can make to the economy in my opinion is lowering the money cap to $10000.

make awp an expensive consumable! yeah!

How many people is Valve employing these days?

The only problem is with making stuff more expensive is that often losing teams struggle for money at the moment anyway, it's only the winning teams that have to much money.

Hopefully the Rifles will go up to 8-9 round levels and more pistol rounds and smg's will be common.

hooray! I'm glad they're teaching an old horse new tricks
