Counter-Strike: GO Discussion

Love it or hate it a new Counter-Strike is on the way so we better start up a discussion surrounding it. I put together an article a few weeks ago about things we know for sure so far.

pc.mmgn.com/...

People are focusing on the matchmaking side of things and jumping up and down about it. Personally I think Valve are smart enough to know that if they mess with the formula of the very fanbase that has kept this franchise alive for so many years that they will simply up and leave.

The new features will be entirely optional. If you want to branch out and see the new game modes and what they have to offer they'll be there waiting, however you can simply keep playing the game you already know and love just with some updated graphics and perhaps a new weapon or two.

Considering there is full dedicated server support for PC chances are a number of services will probably disable the new weapons thus making this CSS 1.6 :P

What are you referring to? Barrels and stuff? They were also in 1.6 from memory right?

In that pic, looks like de_dust. You can see barrels all over the place. That stuff was only ever introduced in source. Tale dust 2 for example, heaps of barrels and crap all over the map randomly, none of that in the older versions. I would have thought valve would have done away with them considering they add nothing to the gameplay at all besides being a nuisance and an eyesore

A long

mid

there are more examples (stairs,outside b, dark etc) might not seem like much to others but really wtf is the point of having that crap there? Also, seriously... a tree at mid? WTF is the point?

I guess the barrels give you a little cover in the open maps, much like the filing cabinets in the hallway of cs_office.

I don't see the problem topher is having with the game.

He wants a more barren arena?

The problem is, the game is meant to be a competetive game, not some run around see how many frags you can get game. When you have stupid stuff in the middle of the map it detracts from that and is utterly useless. How about we put a couple of barrels at each end of a football field, or possibly a tree because the ground is barren?

See my point? If they actually were useful and were able to be used for cover like boxes and stuff are, then i wouldn't have a problem. It's just the fact they are completely useless, stick out like dogs balls and add nothing to game besides "ohhh look a barrel [Derp] [Derp]"

Cover from people who aim at legs :P At least in office you can crouch behind the cabinet and be hidden. The barrels your love handles hang out the side and half your body still sticks up

I don't see the difference?

I thought Counter-Strike was purely to see how many frags you can get.

Sure, each maps has an objective, but with no respawn, they're merely secondary to basically wiping the other team out.

I still don't see the issue Topher.
COD4 and SC2 have random stuff on the maps including in competitive play.

yeah topher i believe the barrels should be removed from the game in competitive play they just get in the way and there useless also get stuck on them.

It might have been because I was playing against easy bots who would wait a few seconds before opening fire, but I found that the weapons were a lot easier for me to handle compared with 1.6 and Source. I was actually getting kills where I thought kills were due. Except for with the Glock-- stuff the Glock.

Has the release date been announced yet? Must have missed it, but just to check, it's coming out on the 21st, for $14.99. You can pre-purchase now for $13.49 and play a couple days early. You can even get every CS game released for $19! Like the Valve pack, only easier on the wallet! (*)

I guess the steam store page is the official announcement. :P Not a bad price either.

I'm wondering if this will have mod support on the steam workshop page?

Good question @SevenII because of the competitive nature of it I'd be inclined to think that custom items won't be embraced like it has been in TF2. I could be wrong though.
