Counter Strike : Global Offensive Beta - Games

[QUOTE=Chrille;35091237]I remember playing the beta for the first time. The barrels, they fell over when you shot them man.[/QUOTE] hiding in the van in as a terrorist was the best thing ever

[QUOTE=icefox;35091481]I tried messing with some shadow settings. The results. Before[t]http://u.filepak.com/lEaA_de_train0000.jpg[/t] After:[t]http://u.filepak.com/OVmo_de_train0001.jpg[/t] There are side effects though, like shadows fading out sooner/faster[/QUOTE] Is that the -csm_quality 2 command you mentioned earlier?

[QUOTE=Sourcegamer8;35092370]Is that the -csm_quality 2 command you mentioned earlier?[/QUOTE] Yep.

[QUOTE=ferdam;35086625]I don't have the beta, but you meant we have the tools from the actual Source SDK, right ? But anyway, it would be cool to have new and updated tools.[/QUOTE] Neither am I, but I have a hard time seeing Valve rework any of their current SDK tools

You can compile maps in the Portal 2 sdk and they work in CS:GO.

[QUOTE=Srredfire;35092799]You can compile maps in the Portal 2 sdk and they work in CS:GO.[/QUOTE] I'm just curious, do normal Source maps work in CSGO?

[QUOTE=CakeMaster7;35092952]I'm just curious, do normal Source maps work in CSGO?[/QUOTE] Yes. Even from 2004 engine. Just like every other newer game.

[QUOTE=CakeMaster7;35092952]I'm just curious, do normal Source maps work in CSGO?[/QUOTE] Well if the CS:GO maps can be ported to CS:S, I don't see why it wouldn't be possible vice-versa. E: Fuck.

[QUOTE=Chrille;35091237]I remember playing the beta for the first time. The barrels, they fell over when you shot them man.[/QUOTE] I remember messing with the barrels back in early 2005 on de_dust. Ended up on getting stuck on them, and headshotted. Oh the memories. :v:

[QUOTE=Srredfire;35091031] I'm digging the shadows so hard you might as well call me a shovel.[/QUOTE] No player shadow? wat... What bothers me is that the maps still look like they are not part of the surrounding. There is no real world except for a few skybox models.

Some Lake gameplay, digging the shadows, unfortunately can't make videos with good AA though :V [video=youtube;5oTl1eZtx8E]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5oTl1eZtx8E&hd=1[/video] I love how extra kills give you grenades.

While the map looks great, is it just me but the videos and screenshots seem to give the impression that the map is very bright yet slightly foggy, and the two don't look right together?

Maybe it's humidity? Or likely it's used for hiding props fading away.

[QUOTE=.FLAP.JACK.DAN.;35094083]Maybe it's humidity? Or likely it's used for hiding props fading away.[/QUOTE] They made a post about why they added fog. [url]http://blog.counter-strike.net/index.php/2012/03/the-science-of-fog/[/url]

[QUOTE=Jericho_Rus;35090876]All I'm saying is that begging is flooding up the thread with meaningless posts.[/QUOTE] So you decide to repost things that annoy you? brilliant

I really would like to hear some new sounds, because in my opinion, sound is really the icing on the cake.

[QUOTE=Sam Za Nemesis;35094449]Valve should put a better shadow filtering technique on their Cascaded shadow map pass instead of just box filtering, in my recent tests using my own CSM technique it looks like a baked high resolution lightmap when I add some minor filtering in the shadows[/QUOTE] They originally did have filtering, until they released a 12mb on the same night as the big patch which made it box filtered, which was to help framerates.

Has it been established what the awards in the scoreboard mean? I've got the red star one for some reason. Sorry if this question has been asked a lot.

Something to do with how many achievements you have.

How come a few servers run inferno and dust?

[QUOTE=Overv;35095317]How come a few servers run inferno and dust?[/QUOTE] If you create a game and have your ports forward, then give your IP to people they can connect with the console.

[QUOTE=Garrison;35094579]I really would like to hear some new sounds, because in my opinion, sound is really the icing on the cake.[/QUOTE] Yeah, but cake can still be good without icing.

I just want new bot sounds. So tired of the ones we have now.

[QUOTE=ColossalSoft;35097732]I just want new bot sounds. So tired of the ones we have now.[/QUOTE] i wonder who did the voice "acting" of them

Man I've never been so stoked for a game since back in 04 when I was waiting for HL2 to come out. OH MAN, I'MA SNAP SOME SHIT UP IF I DON'T GET INTO THIS HERE BETA.

Any servers running classic gamemodes?

Who has a spare beta :geno:

[QUOTE=MaxOfS2D;35097771]i wonder who did the voice "acting" of them[/QUOTE] Jess Cliffe While attending Virginia Tech, Jess co-created the original Counter-Strike. You may have heard his voice yell, “Counter-Terrorists Win!” once or twice. Ask him to say it; he loves that. These days, Jess can be found working on Left 4 Dead 2 and attempting to toilet train his cat Gonk. He’s this close. [url]http://www.valvesoftware.com/company/people.html[/url]
