Counter-Strike Beta 7 Released

Great game!

Ok...some thoughts. I've never been a big cs player. I play it from time to time but most of my time is spent on quake 3 (mostly rocket arena 3). This version is pretty fun (just got to play normal, no jeeps yet :( ) but I still have some gripes about CS in general:

-I don't like being punished for being aggressive. In CS it pays to be defensive 90% of the time, and the 10% of the time is when you're with a bunch of teammates rushing the other team, hoping you wont be the one out of the pack killed in a big gunfight (which are fun, I must admit).

-Waiting times. Because of the slow gameplay on most servers, the waiting time is much more than that of a normal rocket arena 3 round, or straight deathmatch (no waiting).

-And finally, I can't stand the half life netcode. Maybe it's because I'm too used to the q3 netcode, I don't not like hpbs (they're ok sometimes :P) but I don't like the fact that after I think I'm hidden I can be hit because they shot at me when they saw me on their screen. I like reacting to what I see, and not what I think will happen. (I dunno doesn't seem that mcuh of a problem in q3, maybe it's because less hiding behind walls and stuff). I'm all for an even playing field but I just don't like the way it's handled here.

Know what sucks? My brother and I can no longer play on the same server (through the router). I see how it could be used as cheating, by telling the other person where everybody's at and whatever... but damn. It was a lot more fun when I could play with/against my brother and make fun of him when he died :D

:(

I beleive

you

are confusing me

with someone

who GIVES A SHIT about fucking counterstrike.

tremetal...you talk a lot..shut up for a bit.

Umm... when you think you're hidden behind a box/corner, you're usually not. Your gun is sticking out. Your head is sticking out. That's why people shoot you through boxes so well :) Sometimes a little guessing doesn't hurt (also when you get hit blood spurts from the other side so people know you're there.)

Not because of the netcode.
Not because of cheating.

There are times where people spot each other across a semi open door, usually what people do is shoot and move out of their line of sight. However, the SMART non-Q3 playing mofo will continue shooting approximately where he thinks the Q3 zealot will be standing... and soemtimes the Q3 zealot dies. He accuses people of cheating (WALL CHEATER! THERE ARE SO MANY CHEATS FOR HALF-LIFE! OH YOU DON'T BELIEVE ME? CHECK this site and so and so...) of bad netcode (BUT I MOVED BEHIND THE DOOR! HALF-LIFE NETCODE SUCKS!) It's not long before he goes back to Q3 ;)

Three one line replies where one would have been enough... Tremetal is obviously related to _ilf_

Thanks!

You're pathetic.

I hate the way the knife is, even though it doesn't really have any effect in the game.

The death animations are still kind of annoying.

And I can buy/use the fucking beretta's.

tremetal = _ilf_ = dopeman = kabex

Oh, and the Seal Team 6 model looks OK but I liked the old one better.

Oh, and I don't like the new VGUI at all.

I wasn't even a fan of it when TFC started to use it.
I'll admit, sometimes it's good, like when choosing the team/skin that you want.

But otherwise, it's kind of a pain in the ass.
Maybe if it didn't shade everything and was just transparant.

Someone please raid my ftp tonight. I'm gonna be leaving my computer on and I at least want it to be doing some good.

Anybody else have stuttering problems with the new version? Or do I just need to reboot?

i no care anon issue

you are all anons to me, so no matter!

D3D was my problem. Runs a lot better in OpenGL.

Oh, and I tried turning off EAX extensions and even turned off HighQuality Sound (running an SB Live! Value).

I dunno what it is about this mod, I wanna like it but its got these bullshit kinks...

The models on both teams look too similar so i dunno who to shoot

The little indicator that tells you friend or foe "lags" or some shit and never shows up when you need it...

The models run like ass btw...

The crosshair is that stupid HL yellow/green shit and blends in with the scenery, did I mention its too spread out in the middle...

The vehicles are lame right now, I see entire teams sitting on them, or shooting each other for them...

*uninstalls this turd and goes back to AQ2*

[quote]anyone else getting crashes out the ass on Win2K? (hl.exe has generated errors.....)[/quote]

Yes, I am. Well, I got a crash running 1152x in Win2k (SP1, latest drivers, etc).

I dropped the res to 1024x and it works now, BUT:

Less than a minute into a game I get the Broken Record LockUp: My system freezes and a sound is repeated endlessly. I can't even CTRLALTDEL, I have to Reset.

WTF?!

So, how is the patch so far?

(haven't got the chance to play it -at another computer)

Counter-Strike is a popular online game.

err, rare

hey, anybody know some good sites for rar japanese anime?

Man those dual barettas sound freaking powerful. Nice addition.

well, de_foption is ruined. I so wish I couldn't do that. And no I'm not telling anyone what I did. It's cs_silo (one of my favorite maps) but with a horrible error on the bombing point.
