CS Article Roundup

Posted by The Oracle at 13:37 5/1/2003.

• First up, Exo from CSNation has taken some time to conduct a one-on-one with Narby (the creator of Aztec, Inferno and Vertigo) to discuss his new 1.6 map - de_Airstrike. Here's some words that Narby uttered:

  CS-Nation: What's this new map about, the basics?

  narby: I'm not one for complex story lines behind maps, the average CS player really doesn't give a crap as long as it's fun. Simply put, the map is set deep in a jungle on the perimeter of an airstrip that's being used to supply special forces into the area to wipe out the drugs trade. If you've ever seen the movie ``clear and present danger'' it's a little along those lines, only without the laser guided bombs.

  Sounds good!

• Next, gotFrag? has posted a rather interesting article about Counter-Strike, and how it effects our lives. It includes interviews with players about the effects CS has on their life:

  Gotfrag: Do you get negative input from friends and/or family about playing Counter-Strike?

  jako: no not at all, they think it's pretty cool. I even told my girl after I only knew her for a month or so, which wasn't easy. she gives me some s**t but it's all in good humor.

  All in all, it's worth reading. It might help to put your life into prespective...

• And lastly. Counter Hack, who's "Leading the Anti-Cheat Movement" has posted their second interview in a series of Public Opinion interviews about the position of cheating currently in the CS community. This week it's Threeboy - The Cartoon Guy - Here we go:

  3) Do you think VALVe Anti-Cheat is working well, or could be better? Why?
  I think it's a step in the right direction, and Valve is good with those steps. I like the blacklisting of WON ID's, and I feel the pentaly should be strict for people who hack/pirate. If you mess with the game, and comprimise other player's fun, you should lose the right to play with them.

  It's rather short (six questions) but it's worth a read if you care about what other people think.
