CS 1.4 - Next Week?

Posted by Blitz at 12:54 10/4/2002.

Just noticed over on XSR that the Steam Forums have been updated with a new thread that details the latest changes/updates to the Steam beta:
Counter-Strike
  • Added Dynamic Crosshair. The Crosshair now expands or shrinks depending on the player status (running, jumping, crouching, etc.). Turn it off using "cl_dynamiccrosshair 0".
  • Fixed phantom crosshair appearing when hitting intermission if you were zoomed in.
  • Tweaked mouse/keyboard input settings.
  • Fixed muting bug in the scoreboard.
  • Fixed bullet exit holes not drawing properly on thick objects.
Tracker
  • Changed in-game color scheme.
  • Fixed icons not drawing for in-game Tracker.
  • Fixed message box text wrapping bug.
  • Fixed online/offline status rapidly changing.
  • Fixed text entry for in-game Tracker.
Later on in the thread, when asked about a release date for CS 1.4, Erik Johnson replied with:
"We're shooting for mid next week currently."
So there you have it, CS 1.4 could be with us as soon as next week....good news, I'm sure you'll agree.

i dont quite know exactly what this dynamic xhair will mean..but if its something to do with less recoil while crouching etc...then some1 who has it off is gonna have a hughe advantage over some1 who has it on and vice versa.. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

The dynamic x-hair grows while you move and shrinks as you duck, so you have less accuracy while moving.

There is no end to jump ducking in fire fights, people will just be jump ducking and moving slower, slowly coming to a stop on about the 3rd jump. It doesn't actually stop what it set out to do.

Some of the changes are very nice though. Bomb showing on radar, ineyes view when dead, the para is pretty sweet, you can turn off automatically switching to a weapon when you pick iit up now too. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

I don't know why they bother with all these new additions and stuff personally. They are nice and all, but it's like they don't even listen to what the community is crying out for.

Why not just iron out cheating once and for all?
I would be much happier with a cheat free game rather than a "dynamic crosshair".

Who knows, maybe valve's new anti cheat software will work great, but i'm not getting my hopes up. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

I saw a 2 people cheating this weekend. they clearly had wall hack and probably aimbot. maybe it was the xqz thingy.

but plz take the link out of your post. there are enough problems already. just email the link to the Valve team instead of posting it here.

Yeah Nick, but how many completely random noobs cry wolf constantly about good players 'obviously' cheating?

If there really were cheats available you can be sure one of the big news sites would have reported it along the lines of '1.4 no longer cheat free?; or something catchier(Im no journalist) [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

doz...i already knew that ?:) but if some1 has less accuracy while jumping and running etc..using dynamic xhair, some who has it set to 0 surely wont have the same problems? therefore giving thema huge advantage? thats what im saying.. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

Doubt it, just means it won't display the changed x-hair size. So ya set it to whatever ya prefer, just another useless option really [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

nick have faith fs ;p, you shud go onto some 1.4 server, if you have moderately decent aim or even get a headshot half the server cries cheat ^_^, and forget trying to explain the basic principle of listening to sound in cs :) I aint seen one person i thought was cheating in the last few weeks or so and ive been playin it fairly solidly for ooh a month now ;x Still there is probably hax for it and i'll look like a nooooooob now :> [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

Madness, that was taken directly from Steam boards. :/

Who cares about accusations really, I often just disable the text. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

Roll on the worst release ever :D

Hell if I didn't want to jump I'd play DOD but me can't see this being a huge success. But we'll still have to play it (hopefully for a short while). [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]
