Counter-Strike Source Gameplay Revamp
Heartless Gamer writes "According to bit-tech.com, we'll soon be releasing the first in a series of updates to Counter-Strike: Source which will be focused on moving the core Counter-Strike gameplay forward. The first update will include an updated version of the map Train, which will feature an HDR lighting pass, some minor layout changes, and a number of small bugfixes. The second facet of this release will be a completely reworked radar system. There will be a significant change to the aesthetics of the radar, but there are also some fairly significant gameplay ramifications to the new system."
T's should be allowed to carry suicide bomb packs like they promised over 5 years ago...
I like a slower pace, personally... I like the suspense that real life would give you. Ten guys running at the other team yelling "GO! GO! GO!" is hardly realistic.
CT's should be allowed to do both. If the bomb's out in the middle of an open area, they should be able to pick it up and defuse it while hiding behind a box, or after calling some teammates for cover.
T's should be allowed to move hostages.
It's funny to see the back and forth arguments between some people. Some people hate a new feature that others say was implemented to make the game more realistic, almost everyone agrees they want realism. Then they complain about camping. Well, in Real Life(tm), there'd be a lot more camping. Real terrorists camp hostages. Real life counter terrorism units would camp a suspected target.
Only whiners complain about camping, and no, I don't camp because I know other people don't like it, but I'll never complain about it and I usually defend people when others are complaining. Some reasonable servers even say "campers welcome".
Personally I prefer the stealth and suspense of a round where not everybody just goes beserk when the clock starts.
Stupid sexy Flanders.
