Counter-Strike v1.1 to be released on Tuesday! *Updated with full release details*

[bcterps]

I'm psyched to play the new maps! There is de_dust2, de_rotterdam, thunder, and more! Neo, when you get it, you gotta change the maplist to just the new ones so we can get a good feel for em!

Yeah, seriously when 1.1 comes in just leave all the maps on the rotation so we can get a feel for all the changes. Just for a few days...

 

[Rent]

I'm warming up my 56k modem right now

 

[Total Refected Power]

Great. Just installed my new video card with tweaks (Radeon LE). At least for a bit the playing ground will be even while people learn the terrain. Still I will get my butt kicked.

 

[mylam]

cant wait for it

 

[Modeps]

sweet

 

[GoldenTiger]

Who cares?? I played CS from beta 2 and now I've finally tried out Tactical Ops (Unreal Tournament mod) and it kicks CS's ass... it is what CS should be: perfect. Give it a shot... you'll never want to go back to CS.

 

[Killrose]

Cool, the player modeling has improved with this update.

 

[warcleric]

Too bad UT itself sucks so much.

 

[snow patrol]

Well, I haven't played CS for a couple of months now (been playing DOD), but I'm sure I'll check out the new release..

Boy, I am not with you on this one at all. I still prefer the feel of the HL engine, and generally find CS still rules the roost as to this genre. TacOps is not bad at all, but CS obviously paved the way for it, and it is still my preference.

 

[loogie]

I thought tactical ops sucks. This thread however, should be for mourning the impending death of awp whoring.

[gunf1ghter]

Where can I find a list of the specific changes? Or do I have to wait for it to come out tomorrow?

 

[DannyLove]

excelllllllllent! yo neo, listen to the people, we have spoken and wish for a change!

 

[bcterps]

I only know of a couple of changes, I dont know if anyone has posted a complete list.

Jumping and firing an SMG has been made less accurate.
AWP has no crosshair when zoomed out
Player models have been updated
A bunch of new maps

That's about all I know. Some server issues as well, but I dont know much about that.

[Total Refected Power]

Yea, the jumping is kind of silly. People are hopping around like rabbits. I think a &quot;fatigue&quot; factor should be built into your character. That would even the game out more.

 

[nEoTeChMaN]

Thanks for the information, benchiu!

It'll certainly will help my CS server.

 

[bcterps]

I just edited the first post with some info I picked up. I wonder how they changed the old maps like italy, siege, etc.

--Ben

 

[Imported]

Wow.. I hope you're still able to get on the roofs in Italy.. that's a blast to do.

 

[konichiwa]

nEo, I think you should change your server to a Linux box. mmm...that'd be sweet.

 

[MustangSVT]

hmm, only interesting thing for me is the &quot;» Upgraded player models to 512X512 textures&quot;,
what textures did it have before? will this make it look much better? damn, when will they make CS using bump mapping and all the other goodies?

 

[konichiwa]

mustang

Look on c-s.net, they have a comparison between the &quot;before&quot; models and the &quot;after&quot; models.

 

[Kayes]

I am with loogie on this.
and with improved acc for smg when jumping....

MP5 is the only way forward.

 

[nEoTeChMaN]

As soon as it is release..please let me know and I'll put the 1.1 version on a fast server for you guys to download.

 

[bcterps]

If you go to Counter-Strike.net it will tell you the times and the schedule of the different releases. The release for the MOD version of CS will be 2pm PST on Tuesday, the retail version wont come out until Wednesday. I'm on dialup hehe, hopefully the file wont be too big, ~30 megs or so.
