Have any of you tried it?

Christ I have.. after downloading *512MB* (which is only cached) I got into an empty server.. could have sworn I clicked Quickstart. I tried to play somewhere else, to find I need to re-download. :eek:

I played for 2 mins in the empty server tho, and I noticed some things.

They changed the weapon names to 'fake' names.. you know, like in GTA. Maybe the gun companies wanted moneh? Also, when you jump, you land and walk slow, then speed up. No more bunny hopping.

Thats about it. Apparently, burst shots are well f00ked. Oh well.

I doubt the release version will be as slow. I don't really care much about the names of the weapons, but the jumping issue seems to take some fun away from the game.

It's difficult to prejudge a new release by looking at an unfinished, unpolished version.

Would the initial download be a once-only affair? I'm confused as to how exactly this is supposed to work.:confused: :confused: :confused: :confused:

Well, you download the minimum footprint, which is basically everything until the actual game loads (the bit you play in). Its the menu system really.

When you select a server, you download resources (the game files) which are cached on your hard-drive.

Yeah that Bunnyhopping thing is really gonna fuck up my Style, i like to select my Knife at the start of the round and just jump all over the place, but now its really gonna screw me.. i mean its gonna take twice as long to get somewhere in some cases... and when dodging fire, its gonna feck that up also :/

I think the thing against jumping is very good to be honest.

Makes aim count more as well as the ability to kill people before they kill you (without the silly jumping around dodging - which I admit to using too though)...

You can download something which changes the CS Beta 1.4 weapon names back to the real ones.

well Id rather the jumping wasnt changed as it is but ill cope, atm cs has freedom, you can jump and move freely with no real hinderance, but itll introduce movement based frustration like you get in dod, or when you get hit in cs and it slows you down...

Its a BETA, the broadband delivery system is being tested as well as 1.4. When they release however it will be a normal single ontime d/l.

Weapon names are nothing new, CS retail already has fake weapon names so as Valve dont have to get permision from the manufacturers to use the real names. Its not a big deal, they are stored in a text file and there are fixes out already.

I've not yet been dissapointed with a new version of CS, the people that moan annoy me. The game has done nothing but improve and have bugs removed. This will be a big gameplay change with the jumping, but the amount of people that jump around is getting silly.

Nobody seems to remember the earlier bug where u got 'stuck' on corpses. The new versions have always been better, but I think most ppl moan because exploits and bugs get removed with each update. I expect I shall be doing some serious whinging when grenade spamming becomes a thing of the past.

The only problem I have with each release is the new maps. They nearly always suck, and thats nearly always because they're vast, pretty, piles of cack that are just plain boring. Bring back office 6.5 I say. IMO the only exceptions have been inferno and survivor.

CS will die pretty soon, I reckon. Otherwise they wouldn't need the updates (non-bug)

Bet you a tenner theres still 100,000 plus registering as played every week on clq a year from now. And bearing in mind how much you have to play CS to get on clq (due to the fact it only seems to measure frags, and theres a lot less of those in CS than in say, quake) it would still be far in excess of that figure actually playing.

gah stop talking crap
office was never a good enough map
survivor could be good but it just plays shite
inferno and storm are decent maps tho no one took up storm..
torn is poor
thunder is poor
etc.

Hmm, you know like in 1.4, the bodies of the dead people stay on the floor, well, does this include Hostages? When they get killed?

im not too sure the real anti-terrorism forces have adopted a "jump around like a tit to dodge fire" tactic. afaik in real life you cant just jump and jump and jump the same height and distance constandly for extended periods while carrying a rifle, pistol, armour etc. and look on the bright side, you recover from a jump quickly, no dod style panting for 5 minutes walking about at .0000000000004 mph.

although sniping is easier as when someone jumps they slow as they hit the ground... easy target

The gun names thing I dont think will be fixable via just a text file in 1.4

As it stands now, CS Retail has the changed weapons on the menus only, the abbreviations of the real weaponry are still the proper names. Mod CS has proper names all round.

In 1.4, both releases will have proper names in the buy menu's at least. They will also probably have the abbreviations which the server logs and such, changed to the fake names as well. If this is so we may as well all get used to using the newer names. Because short of hacking the servers files and your own client files, you wont be able to change those abbreviations.

If this is true learning new names is best thing to do because if your still used to old ones and then you die and miss the picture in corner, and bring down console to see what guy got you with whatever gun, youll see "Blah killed blah with a Bullpup" and think WTF is a Bullpup.

I hope it is just a text file that is changed, but even then, would The CPL allow that to be changed? Would other LAN Tourneys allow it? If not then it may be best for most to keep the newer names.

Despite their suckage we may have to use these new names properly.

It takes the same time to get somewhere running with a knife as it does jumping like a tit, unless of course you can actually bunnyhop.

Hmm, i thought it also depended on the weight of the Gun that you had selected?

Like if you had a knife, you run fast
If you had a Colt, you could run at natural speed
and if you had a AWP it was just a bit faster than walking ?

Do any of you actually read the weapon names any more? When I installed retail (stopped using that when they fucked up every update), I used to care about that. Now, I just choose my guns and get fragging.:D
