Title: Counter-strike Source Beta 1
Post by: admojostrator on July 08, 2004, 02:01:52 PM
Starting later this summer, Valve will be conducting a limited-time beta of Counter-Strike: Source via Steam. The beta will first be open to subscribers of the Valve Cybercafé Program, and then extended to owners of Counter-Strike: Condition Zero. The next installment of the world's number 1 online action game, Counter-Strike: Source blends CS's intense teamplay with the advanced technology of Valve's Source engine. For more information check out Steam Powered (http://www.steampowered.com)

Someone's already working on cracking this, and it's not even out yet.

If you ever find anything let me know! I don't care to waste my money on CZ. I don't really have any money to waste!

LAFF!

In other words, it's just regular old CS on the HL2 physics engine. (decyphered using Niteowl's reference to PR Buzz Lines) (http://www.somethingawful.com/articles.php?a=2220)

Whats funny: There is more teamplay in CZ than in CS, and its SP. I just got CZ today so I could try out the source engine: And CZ isn't that bad. In fact- I like it. A lot.

Not as good as NS, but it does its genre well.

i played a cracked version of it awhile back, the AI was HORRIBLE, it felt it was WORSE than HL's.

The "hostages" always ran into walls. especially that dumbass "sniper" in the black hawk down level. Always causing me to check every 5 seconds if he's still unstuck.


And the enemies are so horrible its quite funny. and your ON your OWN 80% of the game in SP.  <_<  Some Teamwork huh?


the only situation i saw with Teamwork was that silly Russian Silo thingy map when there were 2 terrorist organizations shooting at eachother and you and like 1 other guy (who dies in the beginning anyhow so ur on your own killing 4563524231 bad guys by yourself as usual)


And did i mention its so easy to do what marines do to OCS these days to kill basically alot of terrorists? All u have to do is slowly strafe away from a wall until u see a bit of their arm or leg and shoot while they go "OW! and still stand in the same spot. Eventually killing them ^_^  

Boooringg, but cool videos in the beginning at leasy  :ph34r:

I think your talking about Delted Scenes. Regular is basically just matches with bots and a few requirements.
