Well, as one of the (seemingly many) recent converts to CS, I thought I'd jot down my first impressions of this mod.
I've played it, off and on, for about 3 days, enough time to find my way around.
The first thing that struck me, was the fact that a lot (if not all) players have their gamma settings altered so they can see you in virtual darkness! I found this out after asking how someone could rush into a darkened hanger, and pick me off in a sec (even though I'm crouching on the opposite side). That sucks.
A lot of people leave a server after dying. I guess they can't be bothered waiting until that round is over. I use that (frequent) leisure time following the top scorers around. Gives me an idea of how the good players get about.
Players can shoot through walls! I thought this must be a bug, but apparently not. A couple of german guys told me it's this way to be realistic. I'd like to know how some players seem to have the ability to SEE through walls though!
Lots of moans about campers. More than I've ever heard playing Q2/3. I thought the idea was to winkle the terrorists out, and I guess hiding and waiting for the CTs to come into range is a valid tactic (well it seems sensible to me anyway!).
A great mod, and obviously suited to the likes of SAS, who is careful, thoughtful, sneaky and accurate(I know he is, because he tells us on every update).
The Quake3 thing is starting to pall a little. There just doesn't seem to be any lasting appeal (maybe I'm just getting old!). This could be just the thing I'm looking for (after looking after my Sims, of course).
