Fikk en epost på HLDS_L mailinglisten angående denne aprilspøken, hvor vedkommende skrev en passende beskrivelse av hvordan CS:S er og vi bli. Vil ikke påstå at det er helt off-topic heller.

 

Enjoy (hvertfall dere som er 1.6-gamere).

Hee Hee, I laughed at it but then thought about it. CSS is a joke. As a

game in its own right it fails im sad to say. Compare it against so many

other OMG's that all offer the same thing only better.

 

I think someone has forgotten one of the key features of what made

counterstrike Sooo good. PLAYABILITY.

There are more serious flaws with CSS that stop the playability ever

reaching the accepted benchmarks set by CS and CoD etc than i can count

on my fingers and toes.

 

Valve havent made CS 2, they have made a game that will be forgotten as

soon as the next big Online Multi-player game comes out. Ok so lots of

people have purchased it but how many compared to HL1 off the back of

CS? Do you think these people will buy CS3? How many would take there

money back given the chance?

 

I know more people who refuse to play it than people who will. (All

1.3-1.6 players of varying skill)

 

The netcode is diabolical. I mean really really bad. Its not a problem

if you are new to the game or dont play often but its when you are

semi-skilled that you realize that you cant play the game seriously.

There seens to be 2 hitboxes, Head and body. If you dont get the head

then its a full clip to the body and they die if your lucky. (This is

from the same company that codes CS, some of the best netcode around).

So this rules out competive play, clan matches, etc.

 

Maps, Dust2 - Most played map on CS and what happens, Its changed, some

of the most vital parts of the map are ruined. Inferno, why make inferno

when you can re-make one of the worst maps created for CZ, tides. Could

have redone de_truth as the new nuke (good for wall banging), Sienna as

a fast paced map for smaller servers, Inferno as the second most played map.

 

The models run really crooked (side step for example). Just looks wrong.

Barrels and other useless objects are now obstacles that ruin the game.

Ask anyone who has played for a few days and they will agree, complete

waste of time. As soon as you bump into one your goosed, sometimes even

get stuck on some. A flag to dissable these would be probably the best

option.

 

Recoil / Tracer, In CS, DOD and other mods you can see where you bullets

go and adjust accordingly. With CSS its a lottery and "spraying" is no

longer controllable.

 

Walls and Structures now seem "Bullet Proof". One of the best parts of

CS is being able to shoot someone through cover and can lead to some

intense moments of sparyage with 2 people Screaming over comms "Face

Off" style (A great movie btw).

 

There is this great interest in VAC2 but tbh i couldnt care less about

it. Cheaters arent the real problem, CSS is. If you would put the maps

and netcode from CS into CSS, you might be on to a winner, is this

likely to happen?

 

CSS has got to be the most purchased non-played game of the year /

decade. I know so many people who brought it with all there hopes and

dreams of Counterstrike with good graphics.

 

This is not a slander on the hard work that took to make CSS, it looks

amazing and non 1.6 players will probably like until the next new game.

This is more an upset customer who new it could have been so so much

more. It is not what it is, it is what it could have been, what is

possible and what valve are capable of.

Enig i at det burde vert de_inferno i CS: S. Men synes at objekta i CS:S er litt bra og ha med men ikkje så mykje som på de_train for der er det for mange objekt.

Den karen traff blink

var ikke diskusjonen den samme når 1.5 gikk til 1.6? forandringene kan man ikke sammenligne, men det var mange som mente at 1.6 ville ødelegge alt, nå er 1.5 nesten glemt....
