CS 1.6 Update Released

Posted by Endo at 02:15 23/7/2004.

A new update for Counter Strike 1.6 has been released, as usual please close and restart Steam clients and Servers for the update to be automatically downloaded. Here is a list of the changes made to standard CS gameplay (not CS:CZ):

  • Improved behavior when a user changed their name to "spec_HELP_TEXT"
  • Players are only blocked by the shield's hitbox
  • Changing weapons but keeping the same animation index plays the new weapon's animation
  • Improved how smoke grenades come to rest
  • HE, smoke, and flashbang crosshairs are now the same size
  • Improved famas burst mode firing (matches the visuals)
  • Improved closed shield behavior
  • Improved hint message overwriting behavior
  • Switching to the C4 or grenades no longer masks AWP firing sound
  • Improved behavior of footstep sound when jumping to a different surface type
  • Buying a primary while throwing a grenade no longer lets players have primary weapons + shields
  • Improved sv_restart behavior (limit is increased to 60 seconds)
  • Cycler_sprites are reset properly and show up on subsequent rounds (chickens)

02:45 23/7/2004		 The bug makes it possible to be able to fade in from Spectator, the general map including the positions of the opponents. This is also if Spectators are not permitted in the config. Further, as of now, the use of this bug cannot be proven which makes a fair operational ladder impossible.

04:20 23/7/2004		 apprently the crashing happened in CZ when someone fired an AWP, they mustve made the same mistake with this update, cos as soon as we went on an awp map it crashed about 5 times [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

Don't think they paid attention about the CS:Source interview in which Gabe said the shield wont be making an appearance...if it wont be in CS:S then why can't they bring joy to our lives and get rid of it now? [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

10:43 23/7/2004		 maybe fixing these bugs will rule them out of CS:S even if its never 'pointless' fixing bugs ... im impressed valve are still updating CS1.6

saying that this update makes CS crash all the time haha [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

11:27 23/7/2004		 The amount of time they've spent on doing things with the shield , fixing bugs etc they could have removed it by now...Dreading going home to play CS now...probably end up crashin [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

12:27 23/7/2004		 Theyre trying to make the game perfect, fixing every little bug... Why not make some new GOOD maps so every mix/pcw isnt de_dust2.

why make new maps when CS:S is coming out with new updated originals? pointless time wasting for them.

Neway if ur board of d2 then play another map... i mean if i can find a game on train then i'm sure u can!

and fix the spec_menu ffs [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

12:47 23/7/2004		 If your cs crashes then remove your script's....
Apparantly if you use awp to pistol switch it crashes CS more often than not. Perhaps we can get rid of a few more script kiddies! [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

12:57 23/7/2004		 i crash without any scripts ... alot of people that have been playin since the betas still fast switch to pistol out of habit every so often .... thats when i seem to crash [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

13:21 23/7/2004		 been waiting for that sv_restart to be fixed forever!!!!

all you people saying the shield should be removed don't seem to realise who valve are listening to. the number of decent skilled people, who are always spamming valve etc, are much much less than the number of total s***ters, wanting all of their best ideas in the game. if you want something done then you need to get a large group together and start emailing valve and stuff.. nothing will happen if you just whine about it on here. valve think they are listening to the public, which, to an extent, is true. its just the wrong public [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

14:09 23/7/2004		 Yeah but smokincs, my point is that there are only 5 official maps played; nuke, cbble, dust2, inferno and train. Theyre the maps everyone plays over and over again, with maybe the odd aztec, fire or mill map thrown into a league to give some variation. We need some more maps to play so people can start to invent fresh tactics again. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

14:12 23/7/2004		 totally agree ^^^

im even starting to dislike nuke/dust2 now, need new DECENT maps no s*** maps and no changing maps textures thinking it will keep the CS community happy for another 4 months.. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]
SumsoluS
14:18 23/7/2004		 i agree with the lack of maps be released, valve must be just afraid of making cs maps and rather "improve" them like in inferno and aztec with the wonderful fps killing bushes and rain etc. im sure i would be a total cs maniac if it was at 1.3 but 1.6 has effectively made me go back to real life more often..DAMN YOU VALVE [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

14:32 23/7/2004		 I crash without scripts too, i just use a previous weapon bind, and it f***s me up. YOU DONT KNOW HOW ANNOYING IT IS TRYING TO CTRL ALT + DEL SOMETHING THATS MAKING A CONSTANT AWP NOISE! :| [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

14:51 23/7/2004		 i like mill, its sexy shame it doesnt get played more often. fire on the other hand = :'(

everytime valve releases a new map its just full of eye candy, instead of concentrating on how it plays. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

14:58 23/7/2004		 doubt theyll add any maps until the cs:s and hl2 s*** is out [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]
koolcat
15:02 23/7/2004		 to all the people saying 'why no new maps?' maybe valve dont see it worthwhile creating new maps, as almost every map since beta 7 has been critised for being s***.

maybe if cpl created/introduced more (and better) match play maps,and maybe get them in official releases?,it isnt all down to valve. or even the people moaning cud learn@how to make decent maps,then they will realise how hard it is (and hopefully shut up)

16:11 23/7/2004		 i learnt how to make maps at one point, its f***ing hard work and i definatly dont have the patience to do it professional, i got more p***ed off than i do playing public CS :D.

Not slating the people that have made maps as some of them are quality maps which i could never make myself, but since when does the CS Community give a s*** about the effort put into making a map, if it plays s*** then they dont care and will slate away :P

a map with very basic textures can be very good if the layout is done in a way that it plays good in wars.

whats de_science :? remind me my memory is crap :D [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]
