That's right folks, after Shaguar's article there has been much debate in the CS community about the current money situation. Many believe that for the game to keep on growing it must be a spectator friendly and let's face it, timing out 4-5 rounds per game is not the most riveting entertainment. As a result of the mass debate, the following email has been sent out:
There will be some changes to the Counter-Strike money system on the 14th of January that should address some of the issues raised here.We're still working out the specifics, but the intention is to make the tactic of waiting for the round to end on the T side a disincentive.
We'll also change the round timer to shut off once the bomb has been planted on de_ maps.

Fingers crossed, touch wood and all that good luck stuff. Stay tuned for more information.

fast walking from beta 6
jumping from beta 7
mp5 from beta 6
old style pistol accuracy
being able to shoot while defusing
unzoomed awp shooting straight(ish)
and punish the side that camps if theyre supposed to be on the offensive.
oh and as an idea for a de_ map, the cts should be able to win if they can pick up the bomb and deliver it to a certain point to win the round [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

On an unrelated note, every single fps game should be based on aim...recoil is what makes cs s***. Point the crosshair at the target and it should hit. When you take that out of a game it becomes random. And that problem is worse in CoD than in CS. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

In turth the netcode would work 10 times better now on LAN / Decent connections cos nobody plays on 56k anymore with the advent of Steam. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

as_highrise from 7.1
The skincheat from 6.6
The old f*cking awful netcode
The inability to see other people's scores from 5.1
Jesus christ, I'm sick of seeing these posts. People have this retarded notion that bringing back all the stupid eccentricities of whatever their favourite version of CS was will bring back a return to some sort of SUPER HI-SKILL MEGA version of CS, when in actual fact it's just a completely misguided theory put forward by a few pro players who are p***ed off that everyone has caught up with them. The main driving force behind everyone pining for features that were scrapped in CS long ago is nostalgia, if they had to play with them again they'd soon find a lot to moan about.

in 1.3 i honestly didnt see anyone who thought "man i cant wait for the next update"
really their was absolutely no reason to tinker with the recoil of the guns for one and when you see that the game has been changed to cater for clan wars then why was jumping,planting,maps and weapons changed??? [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]
