Counter-Strike 7 Today

by Maarten Goldstein, Aug 26, 2000 8:21am PDT

Related Topics – Half-Life, Counter-Strike, half-life

As I mentioned in my update yesterday, Beta 7 of Counter-Strike will be released today. Of course we'll have a mirror when it is released. What's new? From CS-Nation

This version includes new arm models, a new knife, one driveable vehicle test map, dual berettas, some new maps, new player animations, various bug fixes, and much more

CS-Nation also mentions a bug in the Linux server release from last night. There's a bug in the map de_vegas that crashes the server. If you run a Linux server, remove the map from your map cycle.
As for the release time of the new beta, that is not known yet.

Just waiting on some stuff, so I figured I'd re-install half-life, right?

Figured I'd do the automatic update. 39MB patch. LOL

Now WHO was saying that the size of the patch indicates how bad the game is? LOL

This is for target boy.. or other interested party.

You may note the "legend" at the bottom.

These are the stats taken about 3 minutes ago.
You may note that the top two Half-Life mods alone have more than q3 total. [yes, both of them have more than Q3 boys and girls!]

RA3 and CS are only similar on public servers. On clan matches it takes teamplay and coordination to tackle the other team, or hold your ground (depending on the map and your team).

Just because CS has more doesnt mean its better. HL is a dated engine, so it runs on most peoples PCs. Its also cheap at wal mart. Mark it up there with Deer Hunter 3.

How many people who buy q3 know of this site? Know how to tweak the game so it runs decent? I'd say damn near to none of them do. HL runs great out of the box, and q3 takes some know how for someone to make it run decent.

So yeah, HL has more people. Q3 has people who care enough to figure out how to get the best performance out of their machine. Quality over quantity.

I play q3 and half life both, but about 1/20 games of HL are actually FUN cause of the playerbase.

I think the main thing that will destroy CS would be the ppl. So far the CS team hasn't killed it yet, it's all the crappy ppl that play it that ruin it. I got called a newbie camper the other day...I heard a guy, sat at the door, and shot him through the door (hands stick through :) I must not have sat still for more than a second and these nimweeds are calling me newbie (B1? anyone else?) Camper (someone who never moves) IMO that will be CS's biggest problem, defining the line for all the dipshits out there.
