So, CS:CZ released today.


Guess what?


THE DEDICATED SERVER DOESN'T WORK.





The HLDS mailing list is in an uproar. I have not tried it myself however. Nice one Valve, really!

[Evangelion_2]

I am suprised anyone cares figuring you can get the same game for free directly from valve.

CZ = POS

THE DEDICATED SERVER DOESN'T WORK.
 

just the CS:CZ ded server right?

[That Annoying Kid]

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH nice

[esuna]

*poof*

[Satiagraha]

"If you hate someone, you're already dedicating too much of your time to them"

I totally agree, I hate something, I ignore it. Hence, I don't give a crap what happens to CS since it is crap!

PS. Go Esuna! ^_^

[Black Mage]

i would laugh, but i'm kinda busy wondering why elbee even tried to load the dedicated server

[ShootBang]

so... what's so special about cs:cz? it's just ANOTHER counterstrike that you have to PAY for!!!

GAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Please read, then post.

Anyway, this was pretty dumb on Valve's part.  I personally don't give a rat's ass about CZ.

Esuna, the problem is when a game that promises certain features doesn't deliver, and it cost $$$.

If I bought the game and I found that I couldn't play online, I'd be a little teed off too. Just like people would be in an uproar if CZ was nothing more than half-life singleplayer with replaced weapons and models.

That being said, I love Counter-Strike. Counter-Strike pubbing gives a degree of satisfaction that NS pubbing can't. I am in no way a CS hater, and I don't mindlessly generalize CS players and flame them wherever possible.

If I bought CZ, I would flame valve as well. You can't guarantee quality, but there are some features that are minimal, like working servers. Valve is only hurting themselves when they have crap release like this. All the drama that is created does server a purpose, and the angry mob that bought CZ first will brew up a storm and ultimately lessen whats left of Valve's reputation.

And deservedly so.

esuna, I think the point people are trying to make is not blind hatred for CS:CZ... they're expressing frustration at valve's habit of disappointing us lately.  HL2 delays, buggy steam, ads for and pre-loading of CZ built in, marginalizing of the NS community... so people are saying, "haha, look, they've done it again!  surprise, surprise!  gg valve!"

I'm not even saying this is how I feel, just providing perspective.  personally, I think it's pretty impressive what Valve has released for free over the years, so I'm not particularly upset (though I'm NOT surprised at this latest botch-up).

anyway, the internet makes us ALL loud-mouthed and opinionated.  if we were all apathetic about everything, boards like this would be pretty boring to read.

besides, pettily bitching about people's petty bitching shows that you do NOT practice what you preach, so be an example!  be neutral!  as you say they shouldn't play the game if they flame it, so you shouldn't read the thread if you detest it =P

[Venmoch]

Well I'll get CZ on Friday...

But not for Multi-Player (OMG! TOPICAL!)

I want it for the Ritual SP missions.

[esuna]

If you bought CS:CZ and an aspect of it wasn't working, yes, i could completely understand being pissed off about it. But nobody here HAS bought it, have they. That's not what i'm getting at. This is just people mocking VALVe for nothing more than a mistake, an accident if you will, i can guarentee you that this isn't intentional.

[Bogglesteinsky]

I think I agree with Esuna on this one. If you don't like it, dont play


On a side note...

Ok, people who work in McDonald's deserve that, but nobody else!

Venmoch = Owned

[lolfighter]

How cruel. I bet nobody works at McDonalds because they consider it an attractive career choice. My gues goes towards the cash. And we all need that. Mocking people for working at McDonalds is like mocking the trashman. Imagine if he and all his colleagues would say "tell you what, you're right. We're quitting." Guess what? Y'gotta get rid o' yer OWN waste now boy!

[Grimm]

I agree with Esuna, especially after constantly seeing people in #lunixmonster and #naturalselection just randomly bashing games, until it annoys me to the point where I just quit irc for the day.

'If you don't have something nice to say, don't say anything at all' is such a simple and easy-to-follow phrase, but for some reason people seem to read it as 'Flame away, even if you don't understand what's going on'.

[Lightning Blue]

Esuna, go rant somewhere else, and not in my thread...thanks.

The whole point of this thread was to show that valve really has stopped caring about the server side of HL these last few months. high CPU use, HL update tool not working, the HL server itself not working, no servers = no players.

[That Annoying Kid]

^^

the man has a point, besides it's fun to take time during the day to ridicule valve for it's mistakes

[Venmoch]

Dude.

You have no job.

I have a job and I get money. The money bit is the best thing.

[Grimm]

You have to realize that these people spend their livelyhoods making these products, and for some common gamer to gripe about it without understanding their situation is a bit presumptuous.
