wcs>zm. maybe zm will die and wcs will live on? we can only hope...

Yeah because we all know more profit isn't beneficial to the community.

Figures doesnt say WHO closed it, no response from Erik either.


At this point I'm not going to be buying any games from them. If that's the way there treating us they can go to hell.

and it looks like their closing all of the threads of all of those who openly oppose them on the change, just like the old left 4 dead boycott. Granted there is a few people who are overreacting, atleast I was civil and considerate.

When they do something like this without any provocation its an order from the top like what they did with the boycotters, they don't do that without a reason.

Those threads were also posted in the wrong forum...

[Kavinsky]

Theres no right forum for criticism of the CS:S beta on there to post it in, so technically it isn't.

this is gonna hit the competitive css scene in the nuts - wait they fixed the strafing speed. that shit was off sumthin fierce.

dont know why they increased the zoom speed on the awp though, quickscoping was fast enough.

reg seems to be great though because the hitboxes arent all fucked up like they used to be, and these are mainly 30 tic servers.

and all that gay achievement bullshit can be turned off via zblock just like bunny hopping.

EDIT: but this is definitely geared towards the casual pubbers rather than the competitive community - shame.

I've got a question for everyone who the hell is Hidden Path Studios and what have they done?

Counter-Strike: Source Update Now in Beta

Press Release - Valve
Available immediately, Valve has launched an extensive update to Counter-Strike: Source, now in beta.

The update includes a host of new features and functionality developed in collaboration with Hidden Path Studios. These include 144 new achievements, a new domination and revenge system, player stats, and more.

This beta will run for a limited time, and once complete, the update will be deployed to all Counter-Strike: Source owners for free via Steam.

Server admins may download the dedicated server files via the HLDSUpdateTool using "-game cssbeta" in the command line.

wtf, you can't google for yourself? The most major thing they've done is Defense Grid, a pretty decent tower defense game. They're also pretty responsive on the beta forums, so you can be sure that posts there are getting read. PM Echo on the steam forums if you have a specific concern.

[Kavinsky]

So they have no experience with first person shooters let alone one as big as CS:S?

[ZERO]

No and that is why they are qualified to update it!

Also it is believed that the game will release on this or next Wednesday or when ever the mac version of cs:s comes out. Also it is now believed that if it was not for Mac there would be no new version. So now we know exactly who to blame for this... Apple

Also current moders have found this in the engine: CCSWearableItem, CWearableItem
hopefully this does not mean that valve is going to fuck cs:s like tf2

[Kavinsky]

Seems like all of my worrying, bitching and moaning has been justified if thats the case.

Zero is there anyway to trick steam into thinking that our current css is a mod rather than a product if we back it up and hold onto the old version after the new ones released?
