Counter Strike : Global Offensive Beta

[Legend286]

[QUOTE=En Ex;35403674]Thanks!

Oh holy hell, there's a lot of cool shit in here. I'll post some of that once I've gone over it a bit more.

For starters, here's some map stuff. I've emboldened map names Valve has not officially confirmed yet:

// game type names
"SFUI_HostageMap"  		"Hostage"
"SFUI_BombMap"			"Bomb"
"SFUI_GunGameProgressiveMap"	"Arms Race"
"SFUI_GunGameTRMap"		"Demolition"

// nice map group names
"SFUI_Mapgroup_bomb"		"Classic Bomb"
"SFUI_Mapgroup_hostage"		"Classic Hostage"
"SFUI_Mapgroup_allclassic"	"All Classic Maps"
"SFUI_Mapgroup_armsrace"	"Arms Race"
"SFUI_Mapgroup_demolition"	"Demolition"
		
// nice map names
[B]"SFUI_Map_cs_assault"	        "Assault"[/B]
"SFUI_Map_cs_italy"		"Italy"
"SFUI_Map_cs_office"		"Office"
"SFUI_Map_de_aztec"		"Aztec"
"SFUI_Map_de_dust"		"Dust"
"SFUI_Map_de_dust2"		"Dust II"
"SFUI_Map_de_train"		"Train"		
"SFUI_Map_de_inferno"		"Inferno"
"SFUI_Map_de_nuke"		"Nuke"
"SFUI_Map_de_shorttrain"	"Shorttrain"
[B]"SFUI_Map_de_vertigo"		"Vertigo"[/B]
[B]"SFUI_Map_de_balkan"		"Balkan"[/B]
"SFUI_Map_random"		"Random"
"SFUI_Map_ar_baggage"		"Baggage"
[B]"SFUI_Map_ar_monastery"		"Monastery"[/B] (aka Tibet)
"SFUI_Map_ar_shoots"		"Shoots"
[B]"SFUI_Map_de_embassy"		"Embassy"[/B]
"SFUI_Map_de_bank"		"Bank"
"SFUI_Map_de_lake"		"Lake"
[B]"SFUI_Map_de_depot"		"Depot"[/B]
"SFUI_Map_de_safehouse"		"Safehouse"
"SFUI_Map_de_sugarcane"		"Sugarcane"
"SFUI_Map_de_stmarc"		"St. Marc"
"SFUI_Map_training1"		"Training Course"

Can't wait to play de_random! :D[/QUOTE]

Well de_random isn't a map, it's just a menu item to select a random map from all of the available ones (seen as you're using the ui files to find this stuff out.)

That was the joke, my dear.

Also, I posted this on SPUF, but I'll post it here too. Evidence that the game will have a trial mode and a purchase option after that:

Least its better than straight-up F2P, cause F2P REALLY doesn't fit CS.

[Qaus]

They're doing this because of Xbox Live Arcade and PlayStation Network. Any huge release on those download-only console platforms almost always have a trial that's either timed or lets you play a certain number of rounds (like Section 8 and Nexuiz).

Probably for the 360/ps3 version, It's going to be an arcade game on xbox and they usually have timed trials or something similar.

I don't think it's actually doing anything with matchmaking though.

[QUOTE=Sam Za Nemesis;35406063]Is it just me or are pistols too damn effective compared to everything else? I've been perfoming much better with the Dual Pistols than with any other heavier weapon[/QUOTE]

Duals with a mouse1 spam macro are ridiculous. Rate of fire on them is only barely beat by the MP9.

[Qaus]

dual barettas are a bit too accurate for their capacity/rof/damage in my opinion.

[editline]2nd April 2012[/editline]

anyone else think CS should have more realistic reloads? (having the bolt/slide locked after only the last round is fired)

example from BF3
[media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l1Xd4DyR92E[/media]

personally i think it would be cool of both the half-empty and empty animations took the same time so as to not impact the gameplay. more for aesthetics.

That would bring a new spin to CS, sure, I want that

[S T]

Luggage map is infinitely more fun than the jungle map for arms race

[Chris M]

[b]Baggage[/b] IS better than [b]Shoots[/b]. They're both really balanced, but baggage is more focused, so there's more going on.

[Benji]

I'm not a huge fan of Shoots. I like baggage a lot more

[Qaus]

I think shoots is better than baggage. More protection while still providing better sniper sight lines.

[Radio]

So how are they giving out beta keys now, are they still giving them to people who took the survey?

How did you disable the bullet tracers?

dualies are great, they keep accurate under sustained fire

that being said I still <3 my awp.

Anyone know why the SSG isn't in arms race/gungame?

[OnDemand]

What about the fps, does cs:go require a better graphic card or processor than say, portal or tf2? Any specific maps or areas where the fps drop significantly?

Not really. I've experienced tons of bugs and crashes.

[trotskygrad]

[QUOTE=Benji;35414778]Not really. I've experienced tons of bugs and crashes.[/QUOTE]

polished != optimized

my point is that it gets good FPS on mediocre equipment with good graphics (AA, etc.). that's what optimization is.

[Mattey]

Plus, I think they are focusing on completing all the gameplay stuff and improving with all the feedback they're geting, and then they will worry about bug fixes.

..of course that's just how I think they're doing it

I thought r_tracers was offline only and didn't work in multiplayer.
