Counter-Strike 1.6 Plans [Jan 13, 2003, 8:08 pm ET] – Share – Viewing Comments
Valve sends word that their plan is to begin the 2.0 beta test of their Steam
broadband content delivery system this Thursday, January 16. Included in the
beta will be the release of Counter-Strike version 1.6, "which introduces
new weapons (riot shield, FAMAS, and more) a new map (de_airstrip), as well as
various fixes and tweaks." Also included in the new Steam beta will be a
new version of TeamFortress Classic "featuring the introduction of the
teleportation pad, a new map (ravelin), and more."
If there was one thing in Urban Terror that should inspire the CS team, it would be the weapon balance.
It's neither perfect nor realistic, but by limiting the amount of weapons they'd have to work with they have managed to make all of them useful for various situations and playing styles. Even despite the fact that they lack the additional monetary variables of CS.
Each weapon in Urban requires a unique set of skills from the player that when mastered create a highly effective tandem of man and machine, both in killing and in teamwork.
IMO the CS team is completely lost concerning this issue. They've given up and have ignorantly contented themselves with simply releasing new yet untested weapons and letting the players sort them out. Perhaps it's simply the team succumbing to the tenacity of the hardcore fans who protect their beloved game from any change that would detract from their L337-ness with the handful of weapons actually being used.
