oooo used to love a bit of office

I like it but it feels much faster paced than CS:S. Kind of similar to TF2 or an Unreal game.

I am not sure on this. I played 1.6 soooo much back in the day at a decent level as well and for a long time.
This feels strange to me.
The movement feels really kind of floaty.
It feels very fast basically rush rush rush
The recoil on the guns is insane, no silencers but I hear this is to be added?
No MP5? Not sure why the other SMGs are awful.
The shotgun model is horrendous it looks so bad.
The bloom/hdr on some of the maps is way ott, Aztec bombsite near ct spawn a prime.
example of where it looks bad.
They have changed the menu layout/structure? By that I mean I swear it use to be B,6,2 for armour and helmet but now that goes to grenades? Or am I mistaken? Feels a little clunky as well the whole menu system. I much preferred a list.
Not sure if the other grenades are really that useful? The Molotov is a bit poop and doesn't really seem to fit in with the game as such. Is it restricted to terrors only? I can't remember? It should be if not.

My biggest gripe really is lack of silencers and MP5 and the default CT pistol is rubbish

I found it a lot slower than css, but I'd agree with the floaty feeling which isn't good.

I'd say the movement feels "heavy" when running, but jumping feels like you float for a while? Not sure if i like that part or not tbh

Gun sounds are dreadful
Gun models are dreadful
Default viewmodel settings are dreadful (luckily a simple 3 settings to fix this though)
I don't like the way the game is setup at default, such as crosshair etc, imo the default should be cs/css classic but again not a major issue as we'll all have configs etc later down the line.

I love the updated graphics
I love the changes they've made to a lot of the maps

Overall i still feel it needs a lot of work but has a lot of potential

Can't say i like it at all, just doesnt seem right.

 

[FeFiDoh]

I found a few config settings I am going to try out from Holtzman whoever he is, removes some of the issues with the models (fov I believe is the issue) and the bobbing etc.. see how it plays then.
Agreed the sounds are bad, they just seem so tinny, the whole game does it seems to lack any umph to it.
The player models do look pretty good and the overall look of the game isn't to bad the engine is ok but it does need work.

*edit*

Another thing which I assume is due to me updating my gfx drivers yesterday but I am getting quite a few pink/black checked textures and some missing in general. I had a few issues with Diablo III yesterday after updating but I shall try that again see if it is driver related.

Thanks to Shashman i now have a key!
First impressions were that it was slightly clunky, but i think its just because im used to CS:S. The movement does feel heavy and jumping light, but you get used to it.
My main gripe was the terrible crosshair, but quickly sorted with some console commands.
Now i would like to see silencers introduced and the m4 skin changed for sure.

Oh, and a quick way to check your ping!

 

[FeFiDoh]

net_graph 1 for ping. ierp and fps
What xhair settings have you tinkered with?

Is the in game server browser really tacky for anyone else as well? The font seems incredibly small and quite hard to read, not very clear at all!

 

[PhillyDee]

I like the maps, but Arms Race?
They have taken the Core of GunGame, but without actually using the fun parts of it, such as knifing to steal levels, nade level, and even sounds. They have sucked the fun out of it. The levels are also so small, that the spawn protection can actually make it across the other side of the map with you.

As for the other, not sure at all.

 

[mrbios]

Just had another go at it.... you can hear the bomb being planted no matter where you are on the map!?

footsteps....i literally find myself turning in circles trying to work out where they are coming from, as a fairly seasoned player in CSS i find my ability to pinpoint sounds in that game pretty good, but csgo? not a chance, everything sounds like someone is running right next to me/running circles around me.

The sound aspect of the game (EVERY sound aspect) appears to be its biggest downfall right now.

 

[dfarrall]

I know but having the graph up does my head in!
cl_crosshairdot 1
cl_crosshairsize 1
Thats with classic crosshair.

I certainly am missing the awsome sound you used to get for a headshot.

 

[FeFiDoh]

Will the Mp5 be in the game at some stage? Not a CS game without it :/

 

[Pate]

Been looking forward to playing this for ages.

Got the key thanks to darling 5ub, and i must say it's a TREMENDOUS disappointment.

So bad infact that I haven't bothered playing it again. Dosen't feel like CS at all.

 

[Xire]

Can't say i like it at all, just doesnt seem right.

My thoughts exactly

 

[linktoinsanity]

Default viewmodel settings are dreadful (luckily a simple 3 settings to fix this though)

What fixes did you use?

 

[mrbios]

What fixes did you use?

in console type viewmodel, then you'll see 4 settings 3 of which are offset ones. Set x and y to "2" and z to "-2"

Makes a surprisingly good amount of difference tbh. Now to fix the crosshair...

Option in the menu for that to change to classic, then the rest i think are all similar console settings to css

Pitty there aren't any console settings (at least that i know of) to sort the dismal sounds!

Don't suppose anyone has a spare key lying about? I'd be eternally grateful Used to play quite a lot of 1.6 and hoping that this revitalises my love for the game again.
