Source CS

[Benny]

Or is it sh1te?

The hits were crap, it looks like it should be good, but it's not.  Is it because I haven't played it enough.

[Gh0st Face Killah]

I think the jury is out on this one at the moment. It definately needs something doing to it to improve it I think.

[Dr Sadako]

Tbh I don't like it either. Sure it is cool with weather and moving stuff but imho CZ is so much better.

[DogMeat]

I tried if for the 1st time last night.  Now I could be mistaken, but running around the new-look maps and looking at hostages, there is a definite feeling of being, well, about the same height as Bridget. :huh:

I haven't actually played CZ, so my comparison is to CS 1.6, ...and Source is great! The graphics I am really enjoying, and all the little things that make the levels look, and feel so much better. The gameplay itself is different, but still enjoyable, and I'm sure that subsequent patches and tweaks will see to that. Besides, someone else will come along with some new mod that rocks and we'll all be playing that. It is only an add-on to HL2 after all!

I got the "hey, those hostages are tall" impression too

Oh, on a related note... HL2DM is out I believe :devil: gravity-gun only servers anyone? Where'd that buzz-saw blade get to...

ive had more fun playing (with dmw peeps) on the BoD CZ servers then playing CSS.

(havent had chance to get on dmw shiny new servers yet)

css has someway to go befor its as polished as cz is at the moment.

Yep Source isn't there yet. The graphics offer a greater degree of immersion as the maps look look like real places rather than a hemmed in arenas, as is the case in 1.6. And while I'm not an anorak about these things the rag doll physics and proper bullet effects do make the game potentially more exciting. The loping run is a matter of preference but until they get the hit boxes and major gameplay bugs fixed it's not something I'd want to play

I like it  :dribble:

The gfx ...the dust the smoke ...flashbangs that ARE effective....

Blocking up choke points with a few barrels and watching a rush grind to a halt    

Then again i am easy to please.....my only niggle is the x-hair dynamics are a bit slow

the other night on piranisi I got shot while on the top parapet, my lifeless corpse fell through one of the holes, bounced off the middle level, slid out the slit-window and landed head-first with a crunch on the ground. How can you say older CS are more fun!? :devil:

It's the next engine and no doubt they'll tweak up the gameplay, but the game will evolve. I recall so much whinging about almost every new CS, CZ, whatever that gets released, but they win most people over, even if it's grudgingly, in the end! :winkiss:

oh yes, the grenades (apart, perhaps, from the HE grens?) do indeed rule :narnar:

[smilodon]

I agree Source has to be the way forward. We can't keep playing 1.6 for ever. I looks ancient.  As soon as the Leagues move over I guess we all will?

[TeaLeaf]

As soon as they fix it then they might stand a chance of moving.  Then they can deal with the second biggest problem which is the small player base compared to 1.6 or even CZ.

TL.

1.6 will not update at all and hasn't since august. CZ might be updated but tbh it is running excellently atm and I can't see any necessary updates. CSS needs a larger player base especially within dMw to be worth considered even. CSS imho doesn't have the gameflow that CZ or CS has atm. Weather, light, moving objects are all cool stuff but the CS community in general don't have the computers needed to run it properly hence the low usercount. ED has started an CSS ladder that atm holds 93 clans in comparison to CS that holds 550+ clans and CZ 98 clans. CS is still the big game and I think it will take time until you will see the same clan count for CSS. Imo probably 1-2 years.

In respect to the community I think we need to keep servers for all three games.

Regarding matches in CSS we need to:
1. check how many actually have CSS
2. how many of these are interested in playing matches in CSS
3. find a day where we have enough players for a squad + reserves for a match
4. rethink tactics with respect to the new environments introduced by CSS
... before we even consider entering a CSS ladder.

I can't say I'm overly keen on CS:S at the mo, it seems to play terribly, I dunno if its because my pc can't take it or if its just that bad, but when I have played it didnt seem to have any reg & I couldnt seem to aim at all (not alot differant to normal cs I know but...)   anyway, I'm liking cz atm, so, erm, yea.

[smilodon]

I'm not good enough to see exactly what's wrong with CSS but it just seems odd. I'm sure this is the targeting and movement bugs. I think, as Sadako says, the move to CSS will be gradual, as more people own PC's capiable of playing it, and more glitches are removed and CSS begins to flow like 1.6 and CZ
