It still has a huge player base. Most are 12 year olds.![]()

It is one of the best FPS games though, easily beats COD and Battlefield....
I saw that update today but its a beta and i tried to download it and the system said they already have enough beta participants. One thing thats good though... you dont have to pay for it!
No sign of Episode 3, or was it 4 ?
That I'd still pay money for.
Society's to blame,
Or possibly Atari.
great news for cs:s although I hope Valve announce Episode 3 at E3. One thing for certain is that portal 2 is coming, although when its coming is another question.... well it is valve we are talking about here![]()
I wouldnt say that CS:S is better or worse that Battlefield, ok they are both 1st PS, but that is where the comparisons stop. I love and play games so you could say im a fan boy of both
anyway ... glad to see that they are making some changes/improvements.
CS:S still enjoys popularity in the competitive scene while there might not be so many leagues anymore, it has still endured after all these years.
From a competitive standpoint I'm a little concerned judging from youtube footage and comments I've read over steam forums.
They've supposedly done something with the strafing and acceleration making it 2 high and reduced the recoil on some weapons which I'm not too happy about.
I've been waiting a long time for a CS:S update because its been criminally neglected until now but not some superficial UI and achievements changes which I'm sure some will farm for the sake of it.
I'm not trying to sound ungrateful/elitist but it just seems like the game will turn into some poor man's BC2/MW2 when most CS:S players just wanted new maps and fixes for exploits like bunnyhopping and the much maligned hitboxes.
I'll reserve final judgement until I get to play it for myself.
so they have changed the actual game mechanics? I just wanted the bugs sorting and some new maps, I hate it when you spend years learning a game then they change it!

My god..... I ain't played CS for, like, 10 years or something. Ok, that's an exaggeration but back in the Beta 5/6.2 days it was the King of online shooters. And I was totally amazing at it. Now, I'd rather be on the open maps of Bad Company 2.
I think my age is catching up with me. I'd get pwn'd on CS now!!
Well that seems to be the impression I'm getting off the steam forums but I'm gonna take it with a grain of salt given because some of the criticism is contradictory.
While I've not "mastered" the game entirely, I've still become pretty accustomed to it over the years and any significant changes to gameplay is a mistake imo.
Granted it'll probably invigorate interest from the casual pubbers who still play or those lost interest years ago.
I think it would be a grave mistake to the alienate the competitive community, but I just think we're going to have to see how this Beta plays out.
If my suspciions are true then I just hope it'll go the way of that dreadful dynamic pricing nonsense heh.
kill cam is stupid, who cares about kill cam, I have never once thought "I really wish this game had kill cam"
