Counter-Strike 1.4 Preview

Posted by robe at 21:30 17/1/2002.

Over at CSNation Venom, a Counter-Strike 1.4 Beta tester, has added a preview of CS 1.4 (this is probably against the NDA, but if he wants to do a preview who are we to argue...)
Had a chance to play with the 1.4 Beta, and it's got some pretty cool new additions so far. The bodies now STAY when shot for the duration of the round. Bunny hopping has been removed completly by causing a player to move really really slow when the jump continuously. At first every time you jump it made you slow/stagger for a sec, but Valve apparently has that fixed and will be upgrading it for us soon. Lastly, they have integrated the spec cam and 1st person view into the dead viewing options which is really cool, and have drastically FIXED the hitboxes to I'd say 95% accuracy now.
Gorktic, has also written up a new article that deals with teamplay in CS and how to do it right. It's quite short, but a nice read all the same.

	XLNC/Dr_Evil 04:32 18/1/2002	N1 valve for including this in the new version. For a game thats free they keep supporting it and that has to be commended. Im loking forward to 1.4 and as long as the anti cheat measures are good im sure everyone will be happy :). [ Comment: Report \| IP: Logged ]
