Looks nice. Kinda has the CoD:4 feel to it.

Cant wait and hopefully not rage at the low skills i have at this game.

[The very best]

Wish they would bring VIP back, it used to be pretty popular as a CS:S gamemode

[hexag0n]

I was watching some streams of it earlier, hope they make the hitboxes nice, like pre-orange box CSS

[GladoSC]

Oh cool, I got in...because of STS :)

[DiBBs27]

Some of the weapon models look kind of... bad.
The ak looks really nice though.

I would have liked to see an m16 as well as an m4 though. But if their goal is to pretty much make an updated version of the original counterstrike, then new weapons would throw off the balancing.

The awp looks kinda disgusting to me.

There is just something about the way aiming and bullet recoil works in this game... I hate it. I would rather play CS:S. I have mouse acceleration turned off but there must be some kind of mouse lag option I haven't found yet. I don't like I can't fire more than two shots without the gun seeming to just shoot in the air, despite the lack of visual recoil. This is really annoying because I like everything else about the game but this is ruining it, but I don't know if anyone else is experiencing the same problems or actually likes it like this.

No I think they said that they do want this to be a new Counter Strike. The reason they're making this is because they don't want to edit 1.6 or Source and with the new Counter Strike they can test out new game modes, map balances and new weapons/grenades. Not to mention I can imagine things like the firebomb and distraction grenade being game changers. Although it's generally pretty obvious when it's a distraction grenade and not a real person.

Turn off v-sync.

[Jericho_Rus]

I like how you can play instead of a bot when you're dead.

Have my babies. I had no idea v-sync caused mouse lag. It's still a shame about the recoil though.

I think I just discovered a bug. If you throw a decoy grenade while you're sort of colliding with someone, then it sticks to them and makes a hilarious noise, and I think it might make them get stuck until the grenade blows up.

That happened with the smoke on CSS too

IMAPICTURE

They should keep that in as a feature against griefers. Act like an idiot? Get frozen in place with a decoy grenade in your face shooting off fake gun sounds and blinding you with the sparks.

Also, Valve said that they are planning on opening up the beta more at some point. They just haven't said when. I also have a request in for giveaway keys when that time happens.

[Over-Run]

Is there a server browser in this or is it just match making?

Read the OP next time

OP posted:

Q)How do I open the server browser?
A) The current version of the beta does not support a server browser. This feature will be added later.

[Drewsko]

I can't usually tell. Do the gun viewmodels look a little "uber-close-to-camera" like some people say they do in L4D2 and Portal 2?

[The DooD]

No they look about the same distance as CSS view models in my opinion.

The one thing I really love about the AK47, is how they fixed it so it's ejection port is on the right side. Terrorists must be getting faces full of hot casings during CSS.

Small fov.
Would be fixed with a config change.

I pretty sure they are, they are adding a lot of game modes so I am sure VIP would be it

That should be like, the rule for all games with bots
I would love to be able to play as a CI in L4D while waiting to respawn for example.

That's actually exactly what I was doing with it. Some chump kept shooting people while we're trying to run, and even though it does not team damage it still slows you down, so I kept glitching decoy grenades onto him

I'm so incredibly happy gun game is going official. 99% of my CS time is spent on gun game servers.

[Raijin]

So I tried playing last night. Menu was nice, the music was odd but nice, tried to join a game and my computer exploded. Time to get a new computer.

Source?

New source textures for mapping? +1!

Chet has said it in a lot of interviews

[t h e]

Are people allowed to upload the music files? If so, please do, cause I crave soundtracks

[hexag0n]

if you want to make the viewmodel fov higher type this in the console: viewmodel_offset_y 6
edit: hope they remake de_phoenix for cs:go too, that map is wonderful

[arby26]

Is there shell ejection depicted on the L4D2-style weapons? I think being able to leave that out is part of Valve's love for this new viewmodel style (the only non-pistol that ejects shells in their last "modern" shooter, L4D2, is the AK-47 and it actually ejects unfired cartridges for some reason).

[HelloDer]

Looks amazing! Hopefully I can get a CS:GO beta key and try it out :D

definitely looking forward to this game, a new counter-strike needed to be released most definitely. nice thread also, answers a lot of good questions i was wondering about myself.

I'm pretty sure it's in this video, but the video is an hour long so I couldn't be bothered to watch the entire thing to be completely sure

[VoiDeD]

Figured I'd dump some pictures from the game. It's pretty for a Source game.








Click 'em for larger res.

As for how the game plays, it's pretty fun. Lots of people say it reminds them of 1.6, personally I think it reminds me of Source, so I dunno. There's this one obnoxious movement bug where you can strafe side to side and move faster than you normally could, but hopefully that will be fixed.

[Butthurter]

i dislike that theyre using rimlighting, its cartoony
i thought after the l4d games they didnt want to use it anymore

[The very best]

I prefer the CS:S minimap tbh

[superdinoman]

So I finally put my beta code into Steam and I get the message its already been activated. Turns out my friend wrote down my code on scratch paper and used it for himself.

it highlights the silhouettes well, so i'm sure they will keep using it everywhere.
it doesnt look that cartoonish wit a good lighting btw
