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

[QUOTE=Takkun10;22054146]You all will soon realize nothing really has changed but some UI shit.[/QUOTE] If so, then there should be no reason for everyone else to be bitching besides possible framerate drops due to the more-demanding engine. Also - while setting up bots on my own server, one of their weapon choice options was "Shields". I wasn't able to find said shields on the buy menu, though. Is Valve fucking with us, or will the 1.6 Shields return? I don't think i'm late, since a much earlier page had a mere rumor but was shot down I believe.

Why the fuck are the Steam Servers so busy? This is so fucking annoying.:Dawkins102:

I have to say, I want the beta. I signed up like the rest of you, and I've waited for about an hour for this download to start while my whole friends list plays it. :gonk:

I'M IN, FINALLY! /caps

Neat, finally in. Time to go look at that slightly updated GUI.

[QUOTE=PivotDJ;22054858]watch you'll disappointed because the steam servers are "busy"[/QUOTE] They were that whole hour. Now it's onto 1+ hour and I've given up on it downloading tonight. Steam is really :downs: today.

I just finished playing a few matches. It's a lot of fun when there are people that suck as badly as you do.

I'm in :D

I get this error when trying to run a dedicated server: [code]the procedure entry point Coroutine_Create could not be locaded in the dynamic link library vstdlib.dll[/code] Ive tried deleting the .dll and re-installing the server with no luck.

[QUOTE=PivotDJ;22055325]Fucking [i]VIETNAM'S[/i] servers are busy today. :downs:[/QUOTE] Gabe Newell: CSS Beta, new slots, but here's where it gets funny.. WE HAVE BUSY SERVERS! HAH, OH GOD THIS IS GREAT! HIT IT, CHET! :buddy: This is how I envision it happening at Valve HQ.

[QUOTE=Ehmmett;21994588]Iron sights plz? I don't care if it has no effect on accuracy or anything, it just looks nicer IMO.[/QUOTE] The "Competitive" players will bitch that it will create a blind spot :downs:

[QUOTE=lukepker;22003909]Yeah i see what you mean, but thats just kids, kids ruin every competitive game. as for pub servers, it is impossible to find a good one in CS:Source, but i've said this before, Counter-Strike has turned into an elitist game over the years and attempting to change the gameplay to suit pub and casual players wouldnt be very wise.[/QUOTE] I've found this happens to any old, but successful franchise. Take a look at Quake Live, which is very much populated with old Quake players, the kind who can bunny hop into a room, blast the shit out of everyone inside of it, and be out in about five seconds, all with split second precision and no missed shots. Going into CSS pubbing is like walking through downtown Detroit at 2am wearing a suit and monocle with bills stuffed in the front pocket. You might not get murdered, but odds are very against you.

Mother fucker, I missed the slots AGAIN. :gonk:

FFFFFFUUUU, unlike most people who got a slot, i actually want to play the game!

[QUOTE=lukepker;22058925]FFFFFFUUUU, unlike most people who got a slot, i actually want to play the game![/QUOTE] You're not missing much unless you're one of those types who take the time to notice shadows and phong whilest being shot at. The GUI is updated too, but again not much missed. Perhaps the most 'affecting' things are: lower framerate than the old CS:S due to the new engine, achievements (pointless really), and maybe slightly altered game physics.

Whenever I join a server, it gets stuck at "Retrieving server info" :saddowns:

Oh wow, what does Valve have against Europans and Asians? I can't belive they screwed the rest of the world AGAIN.

[QUOTE=Silikone;22062750]Oh wow, what does Valve have against Europans and Asians? I can't belive they screwed the rest of the world AGAIN.[/QUOTE] 1. Use the URL to install it 2. Extract folder with GCFscape to steamapps/sourcemods 3. Run as a mod. 4. Enjoy CSS: Beta, limited to bots. I've been playing for a while on the actual version (keeps track of achievements) and it's not a huge difference.

[QUOTE=Silikone;22062750]Oh wow, what does Valve have against Europans and Asians? I can't belive they screwed the rest of the world AGAIN.[/QUOTE] Get used to valve time

When am I gonna be able to map on this?

whoa they might actually be trying to implant the shield

Shields. Cool. No, I'm not complaining!

I have had a slot on this beta since the first time it came out, played the thing for a couple days then stopped. Just CSS with added graphical tweaks really. Although it would be nice to get the shield back.

Do skins and stuff work in the beta?

[QUOTE=HHBlackhawk;22088708]Do skins and stuff work in the beta?[/QUOTE] nope.
