Counter-Strike Source Gameplay Revamp

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the net-gamers-rise-up-in-anger dept.

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."

      There is an easier way to get called gay even faster than normal on CS and you don't nead a modified version of CS either. Just change your alias to something like for example: 'Aimbotsky von Campenstein'. Your will learn hitherto unknown forms of profanity you didn't even imagine existed, and in multiple languages!!!

    One example: when you look directly at an enemy for a long enough time for their name to appear on your screen, everyone on your team will be able to see that enemy in the radar
    Shouldn't that be ...

    How many times do you see teammates accidentally shoot each other on FF-enabled pubs?

    Seriously, NOBODY looks at their radar. The general consensus seems to be: "If you hear footsteps, fire and hope it's not a friendly."

    I look at it, because I can tell where enemy presence is by seeing who dies, and where they were. It helps IMMENSELY once you get used to it. (This applies to both 1.6 and CS:S)
