Counter-Strike: Source Beta Launches! (Don't make other threads.) - Games

[QUOTE=zombojoe;21916229]Thats the main reason I don't play it. Even though I could be godly at it.[/QUOTE] The reason I don't play standard CSS is because it's has the most bullshit accuracy system ever, where the bunnyhopping faggot wiedling nothing but a deagle is magically more accurate than a crouched person firing bursts with an M4 or AK.

The addition of a TF2-style killcam seems silly. I mean, given the lack of facial expression or varied effects, what's the point of getting a snapshot? "Oh look, he's holding a gun and running. Joy."

Did they increase the number of slots yet, or have an idea when they will again? I want to try it, but apparently they're not accepting anyone else right now.

[QUOTE=Ziron;21916852]the wording on the beta page makes it seem like that they won't[/QUOTE] But some servers have a tag (increased_maxplayers) that have 64 players. Dunno why you'd need that many, but okay. To my previews post: give me more boxes to hold my books in.

[QUOTE=Nohj;21916419]This is not cod. NO.[/QUOTE] It's not TF2 either

Do I smell another "halocide" for people who "modded" the beta. I'm thinking Valve is going to add hats to CSS, because everything is BETTER with HATS

Jeeessuuss join a server with 20 players 8 of them are like yeah this rocks, thanks valve! the others are having some of the Lamest reasons to hate it RUNS TOO SLOW SHIT GRAFIX, ITS FUZZY NEEDS NEW GUNS YA AN RPG OOH YA AND A RIOT SHIELD. Currently some guy is raging at me on youtube because i told him that there is no point in adding new guns to css, unless they make a new css. then i got the (Lul all the "pros" are not pros cuz they are scared of changing guns)

the update made CS:S compatible to Mac, so no biggie. (the small one)

I wish they'd do this with DoDs aswell. I'd play it a lot more. :smith: I loved the game back in 2006. But slowly stopped playing it because the community was slowly dying aswell. Then TF2 came out, and half of my friends stopped playing it and moved on to TF2, a lot of good servers were closed too. Probably moved to TF2 also. But hell, now-a-days I only see about 20 servers on the list and only 3 are actually good, back in the day I saw over 40 good servers with good people in it on a daily basis. Good ol' days indeed. I just can't seem to get into TF2, I used to play it like an hour a day until the patches started flowing in, and gradually as people became obsessed with hats and new weapons I wasn't interested anymore. DoDs and CSS still keep it simple. I love my simplicity.

[QUOTE=Nohj;21916419]This is not cod. NO.[/QUOTE] So knowing roughly where someone came from, how long they waited, and then how the killed you is clearly something that you don't need to know to actually improve how well you play is it. This just in: CoD doesn't make a game feature terrible as soon as it is used.

seems like an huge update this. maybe it's time to get css

[QUOTE=kimr120;21922921]seems like an huge update this. maybe it's time to get css[/QUOTE] It's still in beta. [editline]02:44PM[/editline] [QUOTE=AntonFTW;21901248] Does the beta allow support for DirectX 7.0, or did the engine update kill that?[/QUOTE] Who cares, this isn't 1999 anymore.

[QUOTE=geoff5093;21923798] Who cares, this isn't 1999 anymore.[/QUOTE] I know its fucking 2010, you can go to a Walmart bargain bin and get a Dx10 card for $20.

Dual Core support fuck yeah?

So what version of hammer do we use for this? I want to see what new mapping things I can do now.

Why the fuck can't I have a game of 15 bots or more? mp_autoteambalance 0 and mp_limitteams 99 doesn't work. It won't let me have more than 4 bots.

To everyone raging about killcam, did you know that you can turn it off?

[QUOTE=AntonFTW;21901248]Does the beta allow support for DirectX 7.0, or did the engine update kill that?[/QUOTE] Yesterday I tried (non-beta version) and it worked on DX60. Maybe it will work with beta, too.

[QUOTE=Agent_Wesker;21925101]So what version of hammer do we use for this? I want to see what new mapping things I can do now.[/QUOTE] They haven't released beta Hammer tools for it yet, but when they do you'll use 2009.

So any private servers without any pubdicks hosted by fellow FPers
