CS:S Update Official Thread

[Spasm]

everything about this update is great, except for the fact you can't change your name in-game like you used to.

great registry, new/fixed hitboxes, no more crabwalking, bunny hopping has been slown wayyyyy down, enhanced recoil, and a lot more i cant think of right now. basically as much as we all thought this was an update for the random pubber, they really hooked it up for the competitive player. all the achievement garbage can be turned off, and this new scoreboard bullshit can be reverted back to the old manually. zBlock will be taking care of all that soon!

only thing is, now it only costs 7 dollars, and there will be a huge new wave of cheaters again... bleh.

b hopping is only fixed because of 66 tick, which imo, sucks. and btw, zero has 100 tick already back up on ibis servers. recoil is no different under the same tickrate.

Yes but the hitboxes made sense in a way, you lead the shot.

Your supposed to shoot infront of the target so he runs into the bullet, its only close up that it seemed weird and its been 6 years like that so the changing it now completely throws us through a loop and because of those new fixed hitboxes and the updated netcode the game seems too easy and downright boring now.

So now its just another dime a dozen shooter with subpar graphics than the modern day industry standard. those unique hitboxes and outdated netcode are what made css great in the first place.

thats a server side command, just as it was before. perhaps the servers you played in yesterday had forcechasecam on. there are a shit ton of commands now that will give you the same effect, as soon as someone releases an updated command list i will link it.

hitboxes are perfect now. they not ahead of the player as they USED to be. see video:



that is how hitboxes were prior to the update. cl_interpolate used to be used for more precision but all of the leagues banned it.

as for weapon damage. on the important weapons such as the awp, m4, ak, deagle, etc... it's all still the same. a dink with the m4 still does 80-90dmg which i wish they would have fixed, but meh, the ak does the job in one shot.

but yes, it does blow that you cant change your name in-game. im sure coders will find a way soon.

Wow that's horrible... atleast A Perfect Circle made up for it!

forgive the upcoming doublepost but my network is acting up and it wont let me multiquote and post.

the game is meant to be played at 66 tick now, meaning that if you leave it at that setting then everything will run as it should. recoil has changed, you can no longer "run n gun" and shoot semi-accurately anymore and get "sourced". the ak no longer shoots as fast as it used to when playing on 66 tick, although if you played on 100 tick it will shoot normally. basically, all of hitbox/registry/recoil fixes they made, will only be evident on 66.

i was playing on a 66 tick server at 150 ping and still getting 1deags and raping face with the ak. THAT is a GOOD thing. it will bring the west/east communities closer. people on the east won't look down on scrims offered on west coast servers, and vice versa.

nevermind it just won't let me quote kavinsky

To Kavinsky:

the game was BROKEN before. hitboxes should be ON the model not off, you shouldnt have to LEAD a target that is at point-blank distance from you. the hitboxes and netcode were what made people cry "broken game", or "i got sourced" or "shitty reg" or "theres blood on his face!" before... yeah you'll still get those idiots from time to time, but they have no idea what they're talking about.

dime a dozen shooter? CS 1.6 had the correct hitboxes for years, and yet it is still more popular than CSS at least on the competitive end.

you aren't gonna get randied by a kid spraying and strafing who didnt know how to control his spray, before youre able to kill him anymore. at least if youre any good at game.
