I remember seeing a european pug of sorts play all the retired 3D guys in a GO showmatch at IEM NY, it seemed pretty rough and Ksharp bashing face with an auto sniper was embarrasing to watch. When everyone realised how good it was thats all they used, it was a bit silly. 1.6 lost to shinier games and CSS was a joke attempt at evolving the game, doubt anyone outside the US played it seriously.

And are they short on maps? Or just scrimming on dust for kicks ?

The weapon sounds on this game are just horrible to listen. Thanks for the stream enigaml.

Hahah. They're playing on a different map and the player models are replaced with walking red text "ERROR". So funny seeing words fight words.

I don't mind the rifle sounds, but the awp sounds so pathetic... I don't understand their logic in making it so much quieter and less bassy... Supposed to be my 1 hit wonder not my airsoft rifle ><

Looks like Counter Strike: Source 2. I don't think Valve have learned from their many and grievous mistakes from Source.

I work for one of the top CS coverage websites on the web (Cadred) and can safely say this game has nearly no potential competitive-wise unless Valve ACTUALLY listens to the top tier of players and conform it to e-sports' gameplay. Right now, it feels like a bad BF3-Counter-Strike hybrid with the ADS blur and movement.

For anyone that's into competitive CS still or used to be and has played or watch pros play this game, for someone who might be looking to get back into the competitive scene through GO, would it be better to start practicing on Source or 1.6? I've always preferred 1.6, but the game looks to be it's own entity and I don't want to build reflexes or patterns in play that wouldn't transfer over to GO.

It's closer to Source atm than 1.6, but we don't know how the recoil and other things are going to change.

The only thing worthwhile for this game imo is the built in laddering system for clans. That ought to keep the game alive for awhile even if the game itself is terrible. After cal died in the us I haven't had any motivation to keep playing competitively.

If they ruined all the games sounds like that, I'll be very disappointed.
That is still one of my biggest gripes with SC2.

Does the crosshair show recoil in this one? IMO one of the biggest things that needed changing, it was fine once you got decent at the game, but it really threw off the newer players.

Yeah when I played it on the first day, the way I described GO was that it is more source, than source was. Relative to 1.6. We'll see how it turns out, but I just feel way happier when playing Dota 2 beta than I do GO beta, the polish of the games at their early beta stages are pretty far opposites on the spectrum.

Yes, crosshair shows recoil just like in 1.6, I think there was an option in the menu that makes it so the crosshair stays stable but I never tested it out. Also for the Awp, recoil is based on vision, so if you're zoomed in and move, your vision becomes blurry for a brief moment, and once its clear you know that it aims true. Really odd mechanic but its not something I'll complain about one way or another.

One of the biggest issue with everything moving towards realism is the loss of some of the insanely satisfying things that made 1.6 the game it is. Like the retardedly loud bassy awp shot that instilled fear in you every time you heard it. That there was a gun that kills in one shot. Or the fact that when you got a headshot the body would fling backwards into the air as blood sprayed out in a ridiculous fashion.

Compared to 1.6, kills in source didn't really feel like you were doing anything more than poking the other person with bullets. You just kind of aimed at them and then they fell down.

Fucking ragdolls

I agree, shoot a colt in 1.6 then switch to source and shoot one. The difference is night and day, colt feels awesome in 1.6 and a pea shooter in source.

I haven't played CS sind version 1.3 in 2002, and I am an extreme elitist CS hipster. How disappointed will I be? :-D

I played it a little a few days ago.. It's got potential and they seem to be listening to feedback already. I have hopes that it'll work - if not due to the game itself then due to the fact that people still want to play counter-strike, but are unable to continue playing 1.6 because the scene is pretty much dead.
