1.5 Retrospective

Well, 1.6 is on the way, so I think it is time to ask what you all thought of 1.4 and 1.5 (since they are the same thing with different maps and slightly improved VAC).

Cheating seems to be under control now, CS is certainly no longer a cheaters paradise like 1.1 was. You still get the odd botter/wallhacker, but it isn't on the same scale as older versions.

New maps...Piranesi...hmnnn...I've played it once, which was enough to know that it wouldn't be a clan match favourite, and it was shit on a public. New maps really don't seem to be taking off any more. Are we set in our ways, or does Valve just have shit taste in maps?

Jumping. Took me a while to get used to the slowdown, but I've got the hang of it and moved on (and judging by the reaction to ECAs post, so has everyone;)).

The guns. There are guns that I understand why they are in the game, the USP, Deagle, MP5, AK, Colt and AWP/M. Why are the other guns even there, except to fool new players into using them? I do like a game with the semi-auto sniper rifles, but I wouldn't dare use them in a serious map.

Maybe serious play has jaded me, I don't know. The game used to be about public play for me, but now I see it all from a clan match point of view. Its still fun, just different fun, slightly more serious sometimes, but I still have fun.

Wow, stream of conciousness stuff there, a good use of a lunch break. Opinions/flames/comments below please.;)

I agree cheating has dropped off a little, instead of 40% of people playing cheating its probably more like 10-15%.

As for jumping, i do like the jumplag, but its good fun to go on a server without it and bunnyhop around and watch the newbies gawp.

There are some guns that take the piss, the glock for example.

All the other guns with the exception of the auto snipers are worthwhile i think.

I dont like the Piranesi/Havana maps, Chateu is OK but 8/10 my Radar dies when Map changes to it.

Lookin forward to a few more Maps now, gonna be inetresting

one of the drawbacks for 1.5 was the increased connection issues. If you are on 56k you may have experienced the same.

Most of the time my choke rockets to 50+ which makes it almost impossible to get a decent number of kills. You concentrate on making sure that someone is dead before trying another target - by that time your health is too low to be effective.

All in all (apart from the new maps) 1.5 has been enjoyable.

Heh, I got accused last night, for the first time in ages. Thats when you know your practice is paying off.;)

I like Chateau, though it hasn't really taken off for clan games. Havana could be a good cs map for clan games (unusual I know, but I'm sick of Office as the only cs map I get to play), but failed.

I wrote a great big semi - interesting reply to this post, then BW had a gateway timeout for 10 minutes and its been lost somewhere :rolleyes:
O well, in short
More new maps ! Same ol maps boring , it will kill the game same as it did Q2.
Some jungle maps like on SoF2 please.
I like the standard guns, but not everyone did.
Bunny hopping is fucking dreadful.

I disagree with anybody who says that older versions of cs were better. I remember when the new model animations came out in v1, whinge whinge whinge. Then the jump thing - whinge. The accuracy of guns in 1.5 - whinge. No xhair on awm - whinge whinge. Np more crouch-jumping scripts - whinge whinge.

I started on 6.5 - I remember that the models used to run like hunchbacked rabbits, and that you could rape everything with a P5.

It is about time that some of the older maps were made a little prettier, don't change the layout, just make them nicer to look at. Aztec is a good example, I hope they put the lightning back in.

And they should remove rifles from many maps.

When they fix the dreadful mp5 and other sprayed headshots i'll stop moaning. But overall I liked 1.3,4,5

There were good and bad points to each version, I started on b4.

5.2 is often considered the best, but P90 rushes although fun kinda cocked the game up. I used to love the zoomed colt, but things change and so has my taste. I really think that they have done a fine job with all the upgrades, they have evolved the game not revolutionised it.

The amount of whinging with each new version I find sadly pathetic tbh.

CS was better when people had to pay by the minute to play it.
