Yesterday I was accused of cheating while playing on a public server with Armitage, Albert and Sqounk. The non-dMw players were running around all over the place and I don't think that they even knew that they could walk. I was walking the entire time and used sound combined with radar to "spot" enemies.
If you have a fairly new soundcard you probably have EAX or A3D. If possible turn it on in counterstrike and you will get a better stereo perspective i.e. you use the sound to pinpoint the direction of the enemy. Try it on a public server and you will see how many easy kills you will get.
Sound is very inportant. for example, you can even hear CT's in the sewers of miltia. Which is very handy in 1v1 or 2v2 games.
I love it when the enemy run everywhere.
OOhhh.. I wonder which server this was on. :roll:
It was mine - I banned him for being Swedish ;-)
I always knew you were a good judge of character BB. :D

When you turn A3D or EAX on, you are able to hear the enemy from approximately 30% further away. That is one huge motherload of an advantage.
1. Turn it on.
2. Get a buy script.

I didnt like EAX personaly, found it harder to tell where people where when i tried it!
how do you turn on the 3d sound for CS? I've got one of them ujerby sound card deals!
I wanna cheat like sadako too! :lol:
Go into configuration then Audio and there should be a check box to enable/disable EAX. NB this might be under the advanced part of the audio menu (I can't remember just now)

Actually I don't use the 3D sound as it isnt working properly in cs. Probably something with the drivers ... :(

Thanks for the heads-up. I'll make sure and join the other side next time you connect to my team 8O
Sound may not work for you, but your sound will sure as hell kill your team mates real quick. :(
Safety Tip: Walk softly, carry a 'big stick'. :D

Whats a good setting for the Soundblaster EAX? When I turn mine on I get a midget alien sound, in a theatre, with a bit of distortion type gubbins and everything echos like on nuke.
Explain it to me in terms of the Creative Sound mixer thingy please :D
All I get when I turn them options on is lots of echo echo echo echo echo 8O.
Still say you can't beat headphones and lots of VOLUME !!!!!!!
You have to make sure you set the EAX environmental settings in the control panel.
You may need the live! stuff or the equivilent Audigy software pack to do it.
There are several settings such as Opera House and Stadium. Just choose something sensible like living room.
Also, CS with EAX and a 6.1 system rocks! You can hear everything, if someone is coming from behind, it plays in the rear speakers, and you get a seriously realistic sense of spacial movement.
HTH

This will open an old debate, but you get exactly the same sound stage (and I would actually say slightly better) with headphones. I have an audigy in one system and an audigy 2 in the other and they both rock for headphones :D
