Then again, it's pretty cool that there was enough detail to see all that.



its fun to blow them apart too;)

I just wish they could hit you but the headshots lessened a lot more with distance and with movement. People running around poppin off shots...

It's not easy. It's either honing of skill or completely random.

Whoa, welcome to like... months ago :)

I'm finding it's fun to play in 1280x720 widescreen mode.

Yep there is unfortunately. I think it's just bug exploits and not real hacks yet though. They're working on them (both sides).

So play on secure servers.

secure servers? i play on steam... its valves job to keep hunting the hacks down right? i'm not sure if they have been slacking on 1.6 so they can support source, or if they don't care.

I'd do it... if there is interest enough, and if the logistics work out. :)

We could always just meet up and get drunk or something though too.

I hope you fall off a cliff you bitter asshat.

:laugh:

I promise that if everyone on AT suddenly learns how to post in the correct forum and starts excercising it -and does so for a good six months straight- I will leave AT for good. :)

Why is it that there's been a sudden dropoff in incorrectly placed threads this evening? :confused:

I agree.
1.6 completely screwed up headshotting.
When WON shut down and I had to install Steaming pile of Shit, I was surprised to see that all of a sudden, far more than 50% of the kills were suddenly headshots.

I pretty much only play on one server, so I know a bunch of the people there, and how good they are, and everyone, myself included, were suddenly masters of headshots.

On the other hand, it seems like the boxes for everything else have gotten smaller, since it's not that rare to see absolutely absurd fights where people will empty entire clips at each other from small distances and not hit with one single shot.

Heck, a guy jumped out a window to ambush me the other day, he had an mp5 and fired probably 15 shots at point blank range, he hit me like once, after which I blew him away, which I of course did with a headshot.
And before someone says he didn't know how to aim, he's one of the people who play there quite often, and knows very well how to aim.

The game has definitely gotten worse with every version since beta 5.2 IMO, that was the absolute peak, 1.0 is where the true suckage began, and 1.6 is by far the worst.
Still, with very few entertaining games around these days, it's still a decent way to kill some time.

People have been hacking since day one. Finding servers without hackers isn't a hard thing to do since VAC is actually banning members from secure servers for cheating violations.

CS Source is kinda f'd up in a ways.

The OP brought up headshots and no valve does not use hitboxes anymore. Secondly, shotguns have spreads as wide as montana which makes auto pump a massive kill farm on close quarter maps. Thirdly, autosnipers are ridiculous. 2/3rd the power of an AWP and it never recoils. Hello????
