Over at csnation they've released some details about possible changes in CS. For those of you who read the recent article by Shaguar over at gotfrag, the Counter-Strike money system looks like it's going change dramatically, meaning that a terrorist timing the round out won't hinder the CT's. Also, if the bomb is planted when there's less than 35 seconds left on the clock, the CT will no longer be able to simply run away. Apparently, the round timer will disappear once the bomb is planted and be replaced with a C4 timer.
If match rules continue to use a round time of 3 minutes we could see even slower matches take place, whether this is what the community wants remains to be seen.

The changes are much more spectator friendly as there will always be action and never 'pointless' rounds from the specatator's pov.
And... an extra 35secs effectively onto the round will not make games longer u tits. Tits! [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

Eco camping will still be an option. It won't cause the CTs to lose as much money, but it means that the Ts can take longer moving around as a group trying to pick people off. They can even do last minute rushes to a bombsite as before, but get the bomb down and extend the round even further.
CTs will realise they aren't going to be punished and are going to be likely to run away more to save their guns rather than risk losing it to a bunch of people who rushed with 5 seconds to go. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

In rounds with rifles, though, the Ts will still have an incentive to wait until near the end of a round so that if things don't work out the last couple of them can back off and save their guns. I don't really see how you can prevent this, so the best way to keep things interesting imo would be to increase the walk speed and have a round time of 2 minutes-ish. At least you wouldn't have too long to wait and most of that can be taken up by fakes and stuff rather than sitting around doing nothing.
The bomb timer thing makes no real difference - you can just use round time of (x - 35) seconds and get exactly the same game except that if the bomb doesn't get planted there will be less long to wait until the next round starts. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

if it slows things down too much leagues will lower round times to 2:30 then they will be the same length rounds and the money system is finally fixed
these are good changes [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

what if that bombspot is defended well and the t's dont manage to get into it? they wont have enough time to change their plans then will they...so i dont think we will see those kinda rounds with good clans much.
but i dont think the bomb thing is gunna make it that much slower.. its only an extra 35seconds you may have to wait. rather that then a whole 3 minute round with the t's not moving a muscle as it is now.
good changes in my opinion [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

there will be no great advantage to waiting till the end of the round to see if u make that vital breakthrough or not anymore due to the new money system. Sitting it out will be a near obsolete option compared to the advantages of pressing forward and doing damage.
teams that wait till 10secs to rush are tits. there is no great advantage in it worth whining on ukt about. It just gives more time for ct's to readjust and more doubt in the final push. If you are in a situation where u have to plant the bomb due to the roundtimer running down u are in a much less advantageous position than if u had the option to plant 1min earlier. tits.
