Jess Cliffe Discussion

Posted by cobbeh at 09:51 31/3/2004.

As you saw a while back when the money system was tweaked, the makers of CS are making it more and more apparent that they are looking for the 'CS community' to help them improve the game by leaking out idea's on what they are looking to update next and see what gamers think about it.

This time around Jess Cliffe has brought up the idea of changing around the prices of the weapons and slight changes to some of the weapons. Here is the list of the potential changes:

228 compact: 550 (old price: 600)
Five Seven : 600 (op: 750)
Elites : 700 (op: 800)

m3 shotty : 1400 (op: 1700) -

MP5: 1700 (op: 1500) -
P90: 1900 (op: 2350)
TMP: 1200 (op: 1250)
Mac10 : 1100 (op: 1400)
UMP : 1400 (op: 1700)

IDF Defender : 2400 (op: 2000)
Clarion : 2300 (op: 2250)
ak-47 : 3000 (op: 2500)
M4: 3100 (op: 3100) -
Bullpup: 3200 (op: 3500) -
552: 3300 (op: 3500)
AWP: 4900 (op: 4750) -

Para: 4300 (op: 5750)

* with slightly increased dmg and slightly better accuracy on TMP and Mac10
* AWP 5 in clip

It sounds promising, especially the AWP clip idea which may lead to more precision shooting. Feel free to pop into the official forum discussion and express your idea's.

**Update**

With thanks to the points that came across on the forums, Jess Cliffe has come back saying this:

Thanks for the input everyone! The "good for pubs, bad for matches" aspect has sent us back to the proverbial drawing board. A good solid discussion but changes that are probably simply overly radical. Cheers."

If anything the M4 price needs dropping to about 2750. It would mean alot more gun rounds and less eco's. as CT you shouldnt have to eco twice to get a gun + armour, then if you lose that round, its eco time again.

Its stupid, on a T balanced map, the 4th round is far too important. Also the Deagle accuracy should be put up a little bit, it's far too random at long range [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

12:55 31/3/2004
imo, there are more important changes that need to be made to cs than the money. Flashbang bugs, skywalking, killing when not looking at the target, the still common use of hacks (try to make it less common plz), the no_spec name bugs.

Those are just a few off the top of my head, u know...the money is NOT an issue in my opinion... [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

I agree with Rhyzz 100%, kill me now 8(

And I agree with pretty much everyone when they say that they should concentrate on other things, it' f***ing laughable that some of the bugs remain while they think of yet more worthless "additions".

Call me a whiner by all means Black Cat, but when some bugs are coming up to 3 years old it kinda makes a mockery that Cliffe would ignore all the previous feedback, then demand it on his terms for such idiotic changes. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

On second thoughts they should be making the s*** guns better, so they're as good as the price they cost, and are equally viable.

I'm loving the flash tricks...flash behind yourself run out and own them when they turn away from the flash. Works every time!

The prices of guns should be bottom of the list of things that need changing:-

Cheating
Hitboxes
Netcode
Steam
Model bugs
Gun accuracy
Flash bugs in certain maps
Sound bugs (cancelling sound out by a nade switch)
Map bugs (getting stuck)

All these things should be above changing/adding/removing any maps, guns, prices of guns, aesthetics etc. He asks the community but in the end how many people heard about the shield coming in and didn't want it? About 80% of the community.

VALVe would do better for themselves and their rep if they actually didn't update CS for a longer time and instead worked on resolving the big issues. Then they could release one top notch version that would solve the vast majority of the issues this game faces. The community would be happier with them and the game might start coming back to resembling its former (better) states. [ Score: -1, pointless | Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

I would agree with that FragMentor. Saddest thing was the n00bs that would TK you for the bomb because they wanted the frags. They should put in an extra column in the scoreboard to say how many defuses or bomb plants the player has made if they wanted to 'reward' people for planting (and blowing up) the bomb or defusing.

things like hitboxs, weapon accuracies, cheating etc will never be resolved, so why everyone still complains about them is beyond me. No matter what valve do, they will never get it right for the majority of the community, so why should they jump to it everytime someone complains? I dont remember ever paying for CS, and ive had alot of good play from it, sure its getting worse, but hey, its much easier to critiscise than praise, which is why all everyone ever does is whine (i'm just as guilty of it myself.)

Why does the 'successful bomb detonation/defuse = 3 frags' need changing? It's not people who read UKT care about their frag/death ratios anymore, since 90% of the readers probably have the skill to decimate a public server anyhow. If you care about your score so much, that you get angry when the second highest on the scoreboard overtakes you because he/she defused the bomb, then go play Quake3/UT2004 DM and rack up a good frag count there.
I would've thought most people would concentrate on improving their teamwork and ability to predict opponent's decisions than being top of the server. Besides, getting those free 3 frags is the only way forward for me. :P [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

Only reason bomb frags irritate me is because it makes it impossible to tell whether or not a POV demo is going to be interesting based solely on the score. But hey, that isn't a problem anyway since now hardly anyone bothers recording as demos lag CS so much! :/ [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

i agree 100% with Carb about sorting out the real issues like cheating, hitboxes etc than changing the money around. I personally think the money system is ok for now, although something should be done about CT's ecoing 3 times, then if they lose the 4th round having to eco again, possibly twice to get another chance of winning a round [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

Definatly the biggest thing that needs fixing!

I also think Deagle accuracy is Perfect, show me one person on earth that can get a 1 shot hs on a person running in front of him at 50ft usuing a Deagle!

The chance of hitting a person running with a handgun is something stupid like 7/100 and even if u hit them its likely to not be fatal [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

Someone whose good with a deagle atm with all its randomness can take down a whole team with it, altho it is very random, is the accuracy as improved, T pistol round with 5 deagles would take down CT's easily, and Deagle ecos would most of the time win. Deagle is good because of its randomness, sometimes its sick, sometimes its s***! but they should defintely fix the model bugs, perhaps move the colt to 2900, aug to 3100, and keep the AK the same.
