CSS update Launched!

Source

Thoughts?

Havnt gotten into a game yet since servers havnt updated.

The whole achievement thing and domination VIP **** dosnt bug me that much.

Friends of mine who play this game compitivily really dislike this update for some odd reason

:lol: lol at "Made climbing ladders easier"

Well.....>_> I can't say im too happy about turning this game to what TF2 is :? I could care less about being "rewareded" for doing nothing :?

the whole being forced to 66Tic rate and taking out commands that modify that seems to be questionable. tic rate affected registry of bullets if I remember correctly and the higher the better tic rate now hat 66 is the default and cant be changed headshots from around the corner don't seem to reg as they use to.

Idk this update to me seems pointless :?

But I do love the motion blur :D

*goes to install Counterstrike Source again*

I was wondering if CSS was ever going to upgrade to the latest versions of the Source engine. Happy to see they did.

I finally bought it...

Beat me to it. I was about to make a thread about this. Still haven't tried it yet though.

Just tried it. Its tough to get into servers. But there was one server i managed to get into. Too bad it had aim hackers. There was this person who had 123 to 3 kills. I spectated him and he just shot like a maniac. His camera just shook all over the place killed alot of players even through walls. Nice update.

I just tried to play the game. Any server that isn't full or password-protected, I can't connect to. The server list has changed to a TF2-esque list and it's really hard to get into them.\

UPDATE: Got into a match after trying again. Took about ten mintues to find a server that wasn't password-protected or full and another three or four to load the match. Graphics looks good, seems like a little too much bloom effect, but it could've just been that server. Another thing I noticed was significant lag, but I think that was more of a user connection issue. I think after some more servers get set up and more people get on, it'll be fine. Other than that, it is Counter-Strike. It looks like Counter-Strike, plays like Counter-Strike, and feels like Counter-Strike. All in all, pretty good update.

derp, uncheck "Show Map List" or something like that in the bottom left of the server browser.

This is one game that i might actually try to get the achievements for. I played a huge amount but i haven't played too much lately. This will get me back in.

Turned to TF2? Please elaborate. and based on what i played on the beta, i remember the hit detection being better than before. Dante2710

no matter what happens to counter-strike, the players will complain. Counter-Strike Source is one of the worst communities online.

So far it's not too bad of an update. Not any problems for me yet.

My first impression was good. The graphics seemed a tad better, and my average FPS has jumped from 60-100 to around 200 on dust2 (although my stress test FPS was much worse for some reason).

I noticed that only one of my favorite servers had been updated, so I joined that. First thing i notice is that the tickrate is now capped at 66. This doesn't really bother me, since I never noticed too much difference between 66 and 100 tick in the 2004 engine either.

When I first got going, I noticed there was a massive amount of lag almost constantly. Almost everyone was stuttering and hopping around, and I had a few massive frame rate drops where the game would almost appear to freeze for a second. The killcam wasn't really what I was expecting either. The UI looks like it's taken from a bad mod (it doesn't fit with the rest of the game very well), and it doesn't provide useful information like hits and damage inflicted.

Does anyone know the approximate download size of the update patch?

Obviously the only fun to be had in a shooter is to frag the opposition.

I remember back in the day when people played MP FPS for fun and not for stupid achievements or a garbage rpg-like system.ampiva

i have to agree with this. the new useless stat pop-ups and achievements really kill the no-nonsense vibe the game used to have and as far as i'm concerned was really one of it's major selling points. i also can't really imagine it will help teamplay (which is already often an issue in online games) if your teammate cares more about killing someone with his un-zoomed sniper rifle (or worse) in stead of watching your back, which is bound to happen. i don't care for achievements in single player games but they really have no business in multiplayer games if you ask me - you're dead and your team just got wiped out but wait, all is not lost cause you were all wearing the same uniform! have an achievement! woohoo! :P

also: does anyone know why the console has been disabled? i thought it used to be enabled by default in css.. is there a way around this?

you appear to limit yourself to a very narrow definition of fun. work on that and improve your life by at least 6.4 % guaranteed!

Anyone try scrimming or playing competivily yet? I've heard a lot of sad pandas in vent yelling cause nothing is reging and lag spikes
