Seeking Enlightenment

[old.Mr Crapini]

While playing CS today I was killed by an AK47, nothing unusual about that, however it turned out that I was the first person to die in that particular game, again not uncommon for a skillless player like myself, anyway I was the only person with a recorded death and I hadn't noticed anyone leave or enter the game. Therefore this was the first round of a new map and the guy that killed me shouldnt have an AK atall. Am I correct and he is some how cheating ? If so is this likely to be stopped in the next release of CS? Also plz let me know if I am delerious and wrong.

Either way, can anyone enlighten me plz?

hmmm

how do u know someone hadn't been playing him and left just before you connected?

 

[old.Mr Crapini]

P.S. I had been playing the previous 2 games on that server.

Its very easy this one, lets go through it simply -and olly you should have known this one being a clan leader and all.

1)He was not cheating.

FFS WHY DID HE HAVE AN AK THEN?!>!! I hear you shout

2)Because when u are an LPB you receive data at a faster/higher rate.

WHA???

3)The map will basically load a lot faster for him then you -he will start the game and join a team, if the server decides no one else has connected yet then he will auto win the round and have money.

So basically when u joined it wasnt really the first round, it was the first round for you but not him.

All new CS players will call this a cheat the first time they see it, its not its just a faster connect time.

^^ what Cheatan says.

 

[old.Mr Crapini]

Fair enough and ty 4 that clear response. However, that being the case, I would like to see a delay at the start of the fist round included in future cs releases so that 56Kers and below dont feel cheated atall. (cos I do)

Its true...sometimes a round is over before any one else joins

Even as an LPB I've seen the first person win a round before any one else even joined a team.

 

[Wilier]

my connection is so slow I usually just get in as the pistol round is finishing.

 

[old.asdfgh]

puter also dictates map change time (tho not as important as ping) for eg, when i have gvs running and map changes on server i still catch pistol round but little further behind peeps, like to b ready to charge off when clock counts down and leg to opposite spawn to hunt some unaware folks lolol

[old.jobbie]

it dosnt only happen to HPB's, i see it a lot, it totaly spoils the pistol round half the team running round with pistols and some git with a colt or AK mowing everyone down, bah

when im on the UKLA server i always do a sv_restartround as soon as i join in, sometimes i have connected, spawned, bought a DE turned round and a enemy player is shooting the crap out of me before i even have time to react, bloody annoying.

this has always been the case, just have to put up with it i guess.

just remeber, at the start of a new map, be very wary on where the enemy is, expect them to come rushing in, i sometimes like to wait and try and ambush them.

oh well back to work

 

[Ch3tan]

Yeah, I play on my ex clan server, if you message me on icq I will send you IP -dont want to step on BW's toes in here. They neaqrly always do a sv_restarround untill all players have connected joined, teams are fair.

Valve/CS team could implement a minimum percentage of people trying to connect have connected before game starts algorithm (?), would be nice.

 

[old.Mr Crapini]

Soooo anyone know anybody at Valve this suggestion could be sent to ? or is this something Barrys World could do for themselves??

valve dont do cs the cs team do. ask them.

 

[Ch3tan]

yeah if you really want to see it implemented, get your facts and argument together and post at cs.net forums.

 

[Moving Target]

sometimes on the first round I could be killed straight because the person spawned then go to the spawn before me

Yes I know

The old LPB start thing works best as either T on Estate - jump out window and straight to CT spawn, or as CT on Vertigo - straight down hole and at em.


Very funny
