CS:S update today: new radar

Takes skill out of the game? I've been playing matches all night, and rarely used the radars new benefits, nevermind used the radar, unless i needed to find bomb.
 
sry, just assumed u where another 1.6 die hard that cant let go :p

If you dont use it at all m8 then u missing the point of it tbh but thats another discussion. I been playing with the new one to night as well and i agree i never found it usefull howver im not use to it enough yet to get the info i want from a quick scan of it as im playing. Once I get use to it will be more usefull. For example seeing enemy that other people can see, thats what ts/vent is for, ts part of communicating as a team.

EDIT: sry mecca read that wrong, thought you where saying u never used the old radar at all
 
The people that TK you when you run round a corner are the people that need to learn to use the radar :P

Looks alright to me but we shall see next time I have a bash, should be an option to choose which radar you want imo.

Somebody mentioned crouch height? Is it lower or higher? If its higher thats the gay right there theres enough headshots thought boxes etc never mind being able to see the head aswell.

Edit: Just read on gotfrag that it isnt the actual height thats changed it's just the crouching view height so the character isn't a different height its just the view point that they have changed to match the characters height when crouching.

screenie of the old radar. not a good example of its use, but all i have is TWL screenies
 
Crouch is slowed down , and i dont feel as though it crouches down far enough now :/

radar i can live with , but screwing around with game mechs is a bitch :(
 
Deathmatch 1.6 all the way !

If you get bored or run out of mind altering substances while playing source just look at the radar in spectator mode ........... It`ll spin you clean out for a while ! ;)

It was unrealistic enough having a radar in the first place never mind that monstrosity! Your ears should be sufficient.

Well, CSS isnt exactly realistic anyway its super arcadey shooting so can't complain although this makes it even more unrealistic.

ahah
cant this confirm to you how much valve ruined counter-strike

1.6 forever!


valve made 1.6 :rolleyes:


and yes they ruined it, pre versions were much better back in the beta days.
Now all u see is dust and dust 2 its a boring old game and its dead for me :o
 
I gota say im not liking this new radar. In a 32 man server its just too busy and messy to be of any use and in game it seems as though it doesnt zoom out far enough to let you see where your team mates are, I do like the little direction arrows to show which direction your team mate is covering though.

As for the crouching, I dont think your player models height has changed at all, its simply that your pov is more accurate to what your model should be seeing, before this update you could crouch down behind an object and it looked like that object would be completly concealing you when in fact part of your head was still visible above it.
