Counter strike source limited beta?

JonnyGLC · 12 May 2010 at 17:11

Tried playing about with cl_interp etc and still can't sort out this horrible hit reg.

It's definitely different in the beta, loaded the non-beta css up straight after and everything was fine... Ah well that's this game ruined for me!

Just out of interest, how many of you who signed up for the Beta and have experienced issues have actually bothered to report them like you're supposed to with a Beta and how many have just treated it as a demo, moaned a bit and then closed it?

Like Source in general, then.

Sounds like they've done exactly what they did to DoD:S ages ago. These stats/achievements are meaningless as far as gameplay is concerned. Things like 1000kills with an m4 etc. They don't actually unlock anything.

Leagues = serious gaming 4 hours training for 40 minute game
Mixes = fun competitive gaming 30-40 minute slot of your life
Public = boring 1 minute / kicked.

Its pretty simple really public is just waste.

I don't want to play competively, I don't want to spend my time honing my skills towards one game (or more). I don't know anyone else that would want to if I did, I have studies and other commitements.

I find it hard to believe you cannot come up with those or more reasons as to why people play public and why people don't play competitively, as if they can't have a choice.

Not that I can remember playing a PC game online publically aside from BC2 for a long long time, one gaming community has spoiled me and I tend to stick to playing with them because nobody is an idiot.

Don't know why people are moaning anyway CSS is the casual version of Counter Strike anyway , if you're that hardcore you would be playing 1.6

never knew that, thanks for the info

Wow this brought out the elitists

DampCat · 12 May 2010 at 21:25

It always does. The same tired arguments from the same tired people. It's funny how the only people who even care are those who still play 1.6, and they raise their same ugly heads every time someone says "CSS".

I just see it as personal preference.

I played CSS in WCG as well, I just like pointing out how terrible it is.

Why so negative?

People have complained for years about how terrible the game is.. They finally release some update that changes it and people complain again, before even trying it.

Beta participation is open again btw.

This is the first of me reading about people complaining about how terrible CS is... Its one of the most played games on Steam and probably one of the best FPS games on the PC...

I just hope they dont turn it in to a TF2 style game.

dmcg · 20 May 2010 at 07:55

why is it 2gb? thought it would be a small patch not redownloading the full game again :mad:

When you say WCG do you mean the qualifiers (where a couple of 1.6 teams failed) or for reason-gaming which actually qualified?

no matter what your answer to that question i think it's safe to say you hate the game because your not very good at it compared to how good you are at 1.6, your just not willing to learn it (as it IS a different game), reason-gaming were a total flop at WCG and a lot of people whined like babies at losing in the qualifiers, iirc kazakstan was the country that won it in the end which was a surprise!

Cheers, thanks for that, would have missed it otherwise. Forgot to thank last night.

Plenty of issues to fix it seems.. for example I had a purple texture covering my whole screen. Disabling HDR fixed it but I want my HDR back!

Anyway, the update is perfect for me and my friends. These days we only play in private servers WITH bots and achievements are something little extra to do while playing. I usually dislike achievements but for CSS, I gladly accept them. Though I hope they can be disabled for pro gamers.

Purple and black checkers?

Just minimise and restore the game, it's been an issue in all source games and can be fixed easily (either tabbing out or changing a gfx setting then changing it back)
