[QUOTE=rezOnance;33538003]You've also go to remember that despite it being called a beta, it's actually more of an alpha, since there are very few maps/gamemodes/weapons and as Valve say, [u]everything[/u] is up for change.[/QUOTE]
Even the engines shitty graphics? Nope.

I meant everything gameplay related..
When it comes to CS games, graphics have never been a massive concern. 1.6 is still the most played game on Steam (afaik). Honestly, who cares that its on the Source engine?
I've played since the 1.6 days (though still suck at CS in general :v:) and am really looking forward to CSGO.
I wish I had a key :C

1.6 is most played because it runs on pieces of shit, and the gameplay outweighs the graphics by far. CS:S is the same. CS:GO has shit gameplay and shit graphics so its disqualified.
They should reintroduce AS_ maps, thats the only way they would get me to buy this shit.

Click 'em for larger res.
As for how the game plays, it's pretty fun. Lots of people say it reminds them of 1.6, personally I think it reminds me of Source, so I dunno. There's this one obnoxious movement bug where you can strafe side to side and move faster than you normally could, but hopefully that will be fixed.[/QUOTE]

RPS lied
[editline]2nd December 2011[/editline]
In fact any media outlet that was at either PAX (Kotaku) or Eurogamer (RPS) must have got a key or they didn't bother going along to one of the booths. Plus I'm fairly sure valve would send one to you if you were a nice respectable news outlet.
Rockpapershitgun are a reputable and respectable, nice and unbias news outlet.
[QUOTE=ripple3000;33534908]
Both are fun, however CS:GO is basically a CS:S spinoff with slightly more detailed geometry work in the maps, and different texturing mixed with some horrible L4D2 matchmaking and limited player amounts/ no skill involved in the gunplay.
I mean fuck, come on even Call of duty has SSAO and other graphical features.[/QUOTE]
Oh I'm sorry, I was under the impression that the [i]game was still in beta[/i], I didn't notice that they released it. My bad.
THE CHICKEN IS BACK! AWW YEAH

Do you even know the difference between a model and skin? :v:
[QUOTE=Drewsko;33525058]I can't usually tell. Do the gun viewmodels look a little "uber-close-to-camera" like some people say they do in L4D2 and Portal 2?[/QUOTE]

[QUOTE=Jericho_Rus;33535047]I'm okay with that. You're saying this as if you were going to be yelled at by the people who think otherwise because "their opinion is always the right one".[/QUOTE]
there's a difference between saying "source is better than 1.6" and "i like source more than 1.6" hence why people aren't yelling at him.
Just as an FYI, if you have ANY problems with the CS:GO beta's gameplay, Valve is 100% receptive to it. The direction of the game is in our hands, literally.
But keep in mind that the game was tested prior to the current "closed beta" by a decent number of pro CS players. They had their own private forum and private build, and they were beta testing before any of us were. So if you think the gameplay is "dumbed down," talk to them and ask their opinion.

The poor economy has it's impact on counter terrorism units too you know.
Just got done with a few more rounds. It's growing on me more and more. Random lag spikes that freeze the player just suck though, and it's happened to everyone I've talked so far.
Also, PC Gamer DOES have the beta. Evan Lahti was just in the server I joined and was actually streaming to PC Gamer viewers. And of course I'm in it right now and I never went to any of those trade shows.
Edit: As of the time of this post, he's still streaming - [url]http://www.twitch.tv/pcgamer[/url] Not sure for how much longer.

Worst valve game ever shouldn't even bother releasing it.

Granted the textures are small, but by the looks of it Militia will take place in some sort of snowy climate. It's kind of a shame really, I LOVED Militia's aesthetic when they introduced it in Source.

I don't know, the one thing that lacked from CS:S is having more snowy maps because seeing terriost wrapped up in coats during hot seasons looked retarded.
