Well first of all, on the servers that I played on theres no rounds, just base camping FFA with automatic spawning onto the end of an AWP, I understand you can get passed the warm up but at the moment its just FFA. Sound is all over the place along with the animation (i.e no putting on silencer animation for m4a1, silencer makes same sound effect as unsilenced), throwing a grenade doesnt work, it can end up in a random place.

Please dont even compare the two, this is just awful.
CSPro Mod OUT TONIGHT!!
- Thread starter waso_dude
- Start date
I played, and almost cried at how bad it was.
When CS came out in 99 it was bad yes. But there is no need for Pro Mod to be this bad. When CS was released it was fresh and a NEW mod, since cspromod there has been CS beta to 1.6, CS: CZ, Source, sorry but everything was there just to redesigned.

Probably as people were expecting too much from the mod team with the hype level so high, the mod team probably felt they needed to release something to show people that it wasn't just more vapourware.
I don't see the point in making CS Source "pro" mod anymore though since the CPL announced they were developing their own FPS game to replace it so any changes were internal to the league. Then again I've not heard much more about that either.

They act like complete dicks, or come across that way, on their sites and documentation, doesn't seem like the mod has all that much. Guess they just wanted to release something as soon as they could.
I just gave it a shot, all the bugs aside (and there are countless bugs), and can't see that it is trying to do anything different. I was never a 1.6 player, so I was keen to see why some refuse to move over to source. If this is more like 1.6 than source is, then 1.6 players are idiots. It isn't fun.
I just assume the mod doesn't do anything that source failed to pack.

lol, CS:S is CS but with better flashbangs, nades, smoke, graphics, environments...
I used to play CS years ago a lot, it was good then but it'd be silly to go back to it now, it looks horrible. I think leave the '1337' alone in 1.6...

Better maps(lets face it the remakes are more realistic but they are **** and just feel/look wrong)
Better recoil
Better general responsiveness - sharper, swifter, cleaner movement etc.
Still waiting for a modern game to replace CS1.6 for me to be honest, CSPro has already died in my eyes reading some of these comments, sounds just like a clone that hasnt even been implemented all that well, still with the problems I have with source etc.
It's a BETA not an official release. They've even said that they're not going to put all the features in just yet because they didn't have time. The reason they released it is to stop the public from moaning about how long it's taking and to show organisations such as CGS the potential.
There are countless bugs and have been reported and listed here: http://www.cspromod.com.
Once they go through the versions of CSP it will gradually get better and eventually be ready to play competitively. Though that being said i don't think CSP will create a happy medium between source and 1.6 players but we will see.

Do you really think the maps are that bad? They are basically the same but better textures, more detail and the odd barrel thrown in. Maybe they feel wrong to you because you've played the old versions so much.
Recoil, can't comment, but it's still requires a lot of skill to use the rifles properly.
Find CSS movement etc better than 1.6 now that I have a decent setup and get 90fps.
Another quality post.
I think its just a lot of people prefer the 1.6 style maps where its more gameplay based, its not a matter of "oh we cant run around a barrel" its purely because half of the extra content in the source maps is un necessary in competitive play, the 1.6 maps played brilliantly as they were. The ProMod maps are definately a step in the right direction, but the mod is a long way off yet, maybe in a year or so down the line when they have ironed out all the major bugs and fixed the GUI then we can truly comment on ProMod but for the time being its just been rushed out to stop the whining, and when i played it yesterday it was truly truly awful.

... so you mean it is 'oh we can't run around a barrel?'
Because Valve have stopped development of 1.6 other than to include advertising. If we want game fixes unfortunately we need to look to Source now and many 1.6 players aren't happy with it for whatever reason.

lol no. i just feel it uneeded to have plantpots, arches, barrels, posts, pillars, lamp-posts everywere i look
yea i think they are pants - the game was never about realism so i dont see why they went and tried to make all the maps kind of have a story behind them, as if they were areal place.
Yea maybe it does just feel wrong because of that, but theres loads of us with that thought, heck Q3 was one of those massive online games too, that didnt have crap sprawled about all over the floor either, it just gets in the way of carnage tbh :d
Hmf, The recoil on source always seemed a bit lame, it was clearly there, but it just wasnt remotely 'normal' to a lot of players, it was more catered to newer players like many say. CS1.6 didnt exactly have a steep learning curve, bit hard to understand why they made it even easier to get into, after all the better players tended to stay off publics so newer players were free to have a laugh.
Iv got a [email protected] 2gb 8800GTS, doesnt make CSS anymore fun to be honest
Before that my amd64 3500 & X800XTPE never had a problem with it
