CS BETA 1.6 Update Released

Posted by arsen at 01:58 10/6/2003.

The Steam update of CS BETA 1.6 has finally been released, after much stop-starting. As you may recall from my previous post, the update includes a shiny new knife model and official bots, as well as many other changes to appearance. It is still not yet known what changes are to be made to the netcode, if any. One thing you can be sure of, however, is that it's gonna look the business, as you can see from the pics below:


You can find the full changelog right here on last Friday's post. Also, CSNation have kindly uploaded more sceenshots like the two above and you can check them out right here.

i dont know about the rain :/ i think it will just get f***ing annoying, i think aztec is hideously over rated and rather over played now anyway. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

just tried it out, feels so weird..

rain on aztec owns your fps, i dont like the look of the knife but the animations of the f***ing daddy, new ricochet sounds are cool and the sounds for the new guns are good also.. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

if only life were that simple

a decent processor needs a new mobo
a new mobo needs faster ram

not to mention a new PSU to cope with the increased wattage requirements, a cooler for the PSU

£200 and you're still stuck with a GF2 mx and a PC that will choke at hl2 [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

the bots are pretty funneh, they seem to do a lot of one bullet bursts.. they're not really hard it's just the fps lag on aztec makes it more difficult [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

03:17, 10/6/2003 omg just save up £50 and go buy urself a decent cpu instead of moaning about fps in cs...

New aztec with rain/smoke = 50fps in the big open area with action using a radeon 9700 pro and xp 2200, 512 RAM.
Also bugs spotted by myself and yates so far, incase someone who can do somethin about them reads, include:

> restartround keeps tactical shield
> when shield is out it has the old knife model
> bots dont use scope for awp! :(

comments so far on the game are that it feels more like dod, the ricochet noises and the scout in particular.. also the normal text font looks well camp, takes some getting used to, but the rain is f***ing class visually, shame about fps. Also the famas is deadly vs no kevlar but as good as a glock without, and galil is basically a machine gun with different sounds and a 35 bullet clip!

So, good and bad, hopefully the next beta release will see some improvements and fixes, also you cant type ;'s anymore, they're replaced with ,'s (in messagemode). [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

Interestingly enough ex_interp now allows a min value of 0.009, compared to the previous 0.05 minimum, with 0.1 still being the norm.

Silicon cheating. Anyone and everyone can have a good day at counter-strike. All that it was, was Stu (Silicon) on teamspeak. And he was holding Double-Doors well. Anyone can have a good day and get called a cheat, but to spam cheat under a thread thats todo with 1.6 is kinda o.o.o :x
