CSGN Season 6

Posted by FK at 00:20 23/1/2005.

Tonight the Counter-Strike Gaming Network Season 6 signups have been opened, this season has a whole new approach with its brand spanking new site and new anti-cheat coded privately by Stono. Head on over to CSGN.co.uk to signup your team and get applied to Season 6.

Not only has the site changed but the rules have been updated including one of the major aspects that has affected the games.. wildcards. This season you get 0 wildcards, which will certainly improve this season!

The CSGN AntiCheat program will automatically take screenshots and upload these after the game without the need for user input. If a user intervenes or prematurely ends the upload process on purpose or accidentally, the game may be void and the result over turned. The CSGN AntiCheat will also scan your machine for VAC proof cheats and opther illegal programs, whilst also uploading your configs. We reserve the right to make any part or all of this data and information available to public viewing if we so choose. If you do not want this you cannot play in CSGN.

Good luck in getting accepted as there are only 50 slots available. Head on over there now and get your application in early. You will need 5 members signed up in order to view the signup form.

screen shots without user input is the best way to catch and prevent cheats, the old punkbuster screener we caught loads of people! cfg upload is cool as long its made clear what is and isnt allowed, i can see the scanning for cheats having problems, if this happens in game will it not f*** up your pc and make it run poo? and if it happens at any other time then what’s the point? as they can just delete n reinstall... i like the idea of no wild cards, or though id like to know how they will implement it, because if a team really cant field a team does this mean they are simply fvcked and get a default loss?

yeah tazzle cus when your pc breaks minutes before the game knowing the game was on 2 days before really helps, i mean its not like pc's or internet connections are the most stable things on the planet and having a zero tolerance policy as annoying as the wildcards were last season i dont think is the way to go it in no way reflects the skills of the clans taking part and isn’t that the point of having a league? and its not like 1 game don’t make a difference when of the positions go down to the wire so it will be s*** if whose goes to the lan finals is decided on defaults because clans have genuine problems, if you say scanning it will work fine then fair enough I know little about how it will work i just have horrible visions of my pc freezing n dying, anything that’s stops the hacks is teh win [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

The zero wildcard policy is harsh, but as it says on the sign up page a game can be re-arranged at a head admins discretion. I'm sure that on one occasion if there were genuiine problems a postponment would be allowed. For us last season in division 4 it was hard to play all games as we had to play on Sundays and were sometimes at lans (playing very badly of course! :D)
New anti cheat sounds like it is going to be goodd. As Pimpboy said, (I am assuming it runs in a similar way to CSAC) you relly don't notice any system lag as it runs it's checks.

GL all and hopefully be another fun season :D [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

St3al7h: The anti cheat doesn't lag your PC period. I would get stono to explain to you the basic concept of this type of scan, which would explain to you why this is the case... but you'd probably still hold the same view so its likely it would be a waste of time.

In regards to 0 wildcards. All CSGN divisional games are on the same day, and the times, server, admin, etc. for your game are released right at the very start of each season. I was sat there thinking, why do clans need to be able ot rearrnage games when they have litterally MONTHS to organise thier every so hectik (im sure) social lives around this game. If they dont want to do that (which i can completely appreciate), then dont play in CSGN. Its not like we're forcing you to. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

Obsidian im not closed minded about the scans at all im just interested in how it will work, i think that people miss games with good reason for things that planning cant account for such as pc's being s*** as mine often is and internet connections dying without warning :( i cant say a social life has ever got in the way lol i understand how frustrating wildcards are to the league but isnt that just the downside to having a league that runs week to week? If you could distinguish between a genuine reason for missing a game and a clan that p***ed off down the pub cus they didn’t feel like playing this week then clearly that would be the ideal situation but having 0 wildcards just seems harsh, but maybe u just like to make us suffer :D either way csgn will still be the best league around and the only one worth playing in [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

the cfg idea is pretty good im sure certain people put commands in there cfg which just basically make them unhittable and warpey and im not talking bout rates.

wot happens if some 1 uses lets say cl_bob 0 and gl_picmip 3 gl_max_size 1-128 do they lose the game?? there was s***loads of csgn screenshots last year where people had those hi mEx hi Caution! hi Played! muley

screenshot upload is good ssclient is probaly the best anti cheat atm

dll and cheat scanners aint really that good any 1 with half a brain will simpley remove the files [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

All good points St3al7h.

But look at it from out pov. With so many clans applying RELATIVE to the number of spaces we have... we shouldn't have to settle for a clan who is unsure they will be able to make all their games based on PC or connection problems :) [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

cl_bob 0 only stops your gun from bobbing up and down.. It doesnt effect recoil or anything so whats wrong with it?

gl_picmip 3 gl_max_size 1-128 dont need 2 be used tho, they dont actually effect your fps. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

Here's a loophole that could be used as a wildcard.

From the rules:
"If a player drops due perminently from the server before the first three rounds are complete, the game must be reschedulled. The player must time out fom the server or similar."

So if you want to wildcard, join, play a round, one player pulls out his network cable and f***s off out for the night. Albeit it does require 5 people to start with.

Don't know if anyone else noticed. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

Loxam - when we look at clans for CSGN we try to consider their past stability, how many times they're formed/folded, and as such, how long ago the last reform was. In your case i think stono believes u score quite badly on all accounts. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

Obsidian:

I would hardly call Kensai unstable - we were active for around 3 years (around 2 before as SOL with the best players creating kensai). We did have a name chance to Unicon.cs for sponsorship reasons but thats all.

Yes we have reformed and the lineup is newer (and better) - but im still leading it and it will be the same as it was.

It couldn't be to do with the fact that stono was one of the list of people possible for the reformed team - but i decided to not choose him could it?

Some of our past achievements:

1st SavageCup 2002
1st WCG Pre-Qual GGA 2002
3rd BWCSL Div 1 2003
1st LANarchy #1 2002
1st LANarchy #2 2002
1st LANarchy #4 2002
7th/8th i14 2002
3rd SavageCup 2003
1st I-GamesUK Cup 2003
Joint 5th WCG UK Qual's 2003

Also, stono (when he believed he was in the team) was considering us for Div 2/1 ! [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]
