General J September 13, 2003 Share General J Member September 13, 2003 Anyone have any outstanding comments/opinions/rants/raves/etc. they need to get off their chest? I personally think it plays and looks like some of the older versions of cs. 7.1 perhaps? I dunno. Just got that feeling. I only played on cobble, and a few rounds of italy and office. I found the new guns to help round out the choices. They still havent fixed my pet peeve... the starting pistol choices. I did like the shield, other than the fact that it stops everything. I do like how it slows you down when the shield is hit though. And I feel that this will add a lot of strategy to preventing hostage rescue. So in all I guess I really like the gameplay so far. Seems a bit smoother. My only complaints are not being able to move while buying. Crouching while climbing now slows you and is silent, which can be good and bad. Umm, that would be all in the dislikes as far as gameplay. I really love the new console setup! I love it. I have always thought you should be able to access the server list without leaving the game. Also I learned that you can type the name of a weapon in console to buy it. Open the console at spawn and type 'deagle' 'm4a1' 'mp5' each will buy the corresponding gun for you. This makes binding buy keys sooo much easier. The menu's also add to the "classic" cs look I thought. The main thing I do not like is the time it takes to connect to servers now. This could just be my slow piece of poo computer, but it takes me 2x as long, or so it seems to me. Maybe I am just too impatient. Overall I guess I could say that I am impressed with the changes and really do like them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fatty September 14, 2003 Share Fatty GC Founder September 14, 2003 I love it! I love change! My first game I was trying to run around a guy with a shield and got pelted by his teammates. Another game, me and 5 other ct's took shields and protected one of our guys with a rifle. HILARIOUS! I too like the gui, although the delay to join is a bit much. We'll have to live with that. It's going to be great! Mantis can't take traffic like that...we've proved that before. I found a nice server and my ole klinker ran it just as well as she does 1.5 minus a couple fps.

General J September 14, 2003 Author Share General J Member September 14, 2003 See, I thought with my card (16mb TNT2 model 64 pro) 1.6 ran smoother and with more consistant framerate than 1.5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBugs September 14, 2003 Share TheBugs Member September 14, 2003 it would be fine with me, except of my fps dropping below 20 every second Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rackish September 14, 2003 Share rackish Member September 14, 2003 (edited) Heh, nevermind, Fatty showed me where to download it, but I would still like to know if you can still 1.5 once 1.6 is installed?

Pvt_Jimmah September 14, 2003 Share Pvt_Jimmah Member September 14, 2003 Nope, WON is shutting down, that means that the WONid dependancy of beta - 1.5 is over. If you try to use 1.5, then you get a "LAN server can only be accessed by a Local client" type message, which means that 1.5 isn't even recongnized as a valid format... Goodbye 1.5 and hello Steam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ Premier September 14, 2003 Share DJ Premier Member September 14, 2003 I dont think this is much different that any other version of CS. Did they add any new maps? The changes to some of the maps is a nice touch. But what is bothersome is the lack of recoil on the new weapons. The way I see it, the AK is lacking value considering the defender is a pretty nice gun that has zero recoil. I think they are trying to get the weapons more "newbie" friendly. The way the game looks is a bit different, it takes time to get used to it. All in all, I didn't think it was that much different. I guess the best way to guage that is that I stopped playing after about 30 minutes. It definitely isn't something that'll give me a surge of CS interest all of a sudden. Pros: - Shield adds new dimension to the game - New menu system is incredibly good. - New map touches are nice Cons: - T's should have been given a shield as well. An extra item of that sort will probably give the CT's an extra advantage over T's, on any map once ppl starting understanding how its used. - Gameplay (movement and animation seems to have went backwards) - no recoil rifles == spray headshots; less cool firefights since they seem to end much quicker now (minus the shield).

ConGregation September 14, 2003 Share ConGregation Member September 14, 2003 I for one dont like the shields at all. I think this is due in part to my changing attitude toward CS. Lately I have found myself just hopping on for a few minutes to fill that fragging need. I have little patience to "camp" but just want to jump right in there and shoot something. But I find it very frustrating to come up on a shield and have to hold my fire. And if you have two guys with shield your practically doomed. Cause while your looking at the one and holding your fire because if you run you clip out your doomed, the other one can open up and start pegging you. Just totally frustrates me when I want to run and shoot something Maybe if you couldnt move with your shield up, or if if would lessen the damage or if you could shoot through their peek hole it would be ok. But to totally block everything is a bit much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rackish September 14, 2003 Share rackish Member September 14, 2003 I love 1.6, I love steam, great menus and much more user friendly. I do agree with rev though, the shield does need to be nefed, my idea would be it taking damage, like having 300 HP or something. In the right hands... a guy with a shield/deagle can probobly take out 3 ak'ers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[DOH]FaCeHoLe .gc September 14, 2003 Share [DOH]FaCeHoLe .gc Member September 14, 2003 i as well like the change i really hate the steam part of it taking 3 to 5 min to get in the game but oh well such as life also the options are quite bette as in choices of 16 bit or 32 bit for the higher end cards and the mouse sensitivity telling u what it is and the console is actually readable now on the in game side the maps look alot better and the new guns and shield rock and finally iu think the hit boxes are just a scoche better i can actually kill now before i get headshotted i actually had a positive score ratio woot woot maybe just maybe thios will make we want to play more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwEEziL September 14, 2003 Share dwEEziL Member September 14, 2003 Haven't played 1.6 Gold yet (still downloading) but in the beta, you could actually shoot through the Shield but for drastically reduced damage and , IIRC, the peekhold didn't protect anything. So...is the Shield complete impenetrable now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
General J September 14, 2003 Author Share General J Member September 14, 2003 Well, all I can say on the shield is that with the right strat and a deagle, I took out 3 t's on italy, each with rifles. It is a bit too much if you ask me. I was under the impression that it would only stop 9mm bullets and reduce damage from higher powered rifles.

dwEEziL September 14, 2003 Share dwEEziL Member September 14, 2003 You can have a deagle and a shield? I thought the shield came with a USP and if you drop the USP to pick up another gun, you drop the shield too. Is that not how it is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zeabos September 14, 2003 Share Zeabos Member September 14, 2003 double thumbs up from Zeabos!!!!!! I love the riot sheild, i drop my awp for it. I like steam, its pretty stable for me, although i had some trouble registering and when i first joined, but sincce then its been good!I connect twice as fast with steam, which i like, and my favorites list is cool. De_airstrip its pretty fun although its very hard to see pepole Love the gameplay changes, I pulled a riot sheild bridge rush with an awper, stopped in middle of bridge and strafed back and forth while my friend picked off the CTs.

General J September 14, 2003 Author Share General J Member September 14, 2003 I have noticed people seem to want to follow right behind you when you have a shield. Pretty cool. Adds a lot to teamplay I think. And then when a t gets one it makes it very interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rackish September 14, 2003 Share rackish Member September 14, 2003 There are pros and cons with the shield, I'll just name 2, IMO. Pro: Adds a while new aspect of stratagey and team work. Con: Only CT can buy them . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ConGregation September 14, 2003 Share ConGregation Member September 14, 2003 Riot shields imbalance the game. Before we had a pretty balanced game with the major difference being AK vs Colt or a map that favored one side. Riot shiels threw that completely out the window. I spose assault might be a playable map now :rollseyes: Need that smiley! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THX1138 September 15, 2003 Share THX1138 Member September 15, 2003 the t's can pick them up though so if they win the round they can grab a couple sheilds. I love the changes and how they tweaked the maps is awsome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ Premier September 15, 2003 Share DJ Premier Member September 15, 2003 I agree with Rev, the game is now imbalanced due to the shield. I heard a rumor that CAL is banning the shield for league play, if this is true, I guess Rev and I aren't the only ones thinking the shield causes imbalance. Think about it for maps like de_aztec, which is completely a CT map. Toss in a couple of riot shields and it'll be a wonder if T's can win a round during league play.
