CS BETA 1.6 Update Changelog

Posted by arsen at 15:33 6/6/2003.

With all the recent HL2 hype, you would be forgiven for completely forgetting about the progress of the Steam BETA 1.6, still very much under development. The changelog for the next update has been released, although there is currently no sign of update itself. Quite a few major changes and handy bug fixes, not to mention the new official bots. Without further ado, here's the changelog:

glad to see they are gettin their priorities straight and leaving the unimportant bugs like the magically hiding radar and s*** netcode to be fixed at a later date

but thank f*** they got buffer overflows in infostring handling bug sorted, that was a shocker of a bug! [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

Why bring out cs 1.6 on the old engine. Lets just have a well made CS 2 on the HL2 engine. Maybe even charging for it so anti cheat support can be properly implemented. I am also concerned for CZ, if it doesn't come out soon it will have a short life. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

Now they have to work to keep the consumer base interested until the next game which they have to pay for. So the dl it for free is only a minor issue in the long run [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

i think they've fixed the flash bang thing, but this log seems to me like they're just wasting time seeing as alot of those changes noone would even notice them unless they knew about them, maybe waiting til cz is released to implement these changes. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

Your average CS publics player probably doesn't know what ex_interp is, let alone care less about it. We (those who play clanned CS competetively) are a small minority of all CS players. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

waiting for the REMOVED showing no enemy deaths, cos thats gonna blow

most of those updates seem fairly minor - will they ever adjust the software to use more modern day systesm ie more bandwidth and more cpu [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

mav ive been saying that for years. the only way to keep cs alive (if we really want to) is to create a tournament version, similar to what osp is to quake3.

that way we could let all the newbs carry on lagging each other on dust24/7, and everyone who gives a s*** can download a small patch that fixes netcode, tweaks lighting, reduces recoil, fixes jumping ETC ETC... [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

jumping is ok :P

but get rid of all the guns except usp/glock/dgl/awp/colt/ak/mp5/aug/sig, get rid of all hossie maps, the s*** de_ maps, then we might have a game on our hands :o [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

everything in 1.5 is fine apart from the netcode and dodgy hitboxes. They aren't going to sort those those though, because its easier to give us another s*** map, 5 new weapons and 2 new skins. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]
