CS-Nation has
posted their impressions from participating in the testing of the new version
1.6 beta of Counter-Strike, slated for release tomorrow. They discuss the new
version of the Steam content delivery system that provides the beta, the updated
Valve Graphical User Interface, impressions of the new stuff included, and more.
There are also impressions of the testing on HomeLan Fed
and on Gamehelper.com
where they have also posted some
screenshots from the beta.
But the map design in CS is just plain bland (and the engine being 6-yrs-old doesn't help).Well, there are a lot of good maps out there. Unfortunately they don't get much play since most server admins just want to have the "classic" maps. I get sick of playing de_dust and de_aztec all day long too. Luckily I've found a couple servers with a wider variety of maps. Makes things a lot better.

What he's trying to say is that everyone should make a decision for you.
I've an individual, pal. I'll be deciding what products are good for me.

So you are saying that McDonalds food is "quality"? It may be good sometimes, but it's really more convenient than anything. You need to think through this a little bit harder. . .
things get popular for a reason

"It's an ok mod, but it doesn't beat CS."
I do agree that there are some aspects of CS than UT just cannot touch (like weapons physics for example). But the map design in CS is just plain bland (and the engine being 6-yrs-old doesn't help).

It looks as if our friend Oblivion is a victim of social proof. Popularity != Quality.
I tried Urban Terror for a while. It's an ok mod, but it doesn't beat CS.

Odd, Lex. 72,000 people playing a dead game? Maybe that Kryptonite has fucked up your brain.
I totally agree with you Cicatrix .. Raven-Shield rocks !!!
Counter-Strike is dead .....
Counter-Strike is dead .....
If you haven't yet, try the RavenShield demo. It absoltely destroys CS.
It's pathetic when people think there is some objective reasoning to be applied to something so subjective as opinion.
Welcome to logic, gumdrop!

Might be fun, but I don't have a copy of HL anymore. Someone borrowed mine and forgot to return it. The only one I can find in stores is that one that comes with all the extra stuff and costs like 40 bucks

Give Natural Selection a shot (www.natural-selection.org) for a true dumping on CS from a great hight experiance,..

The graphics certainly aren't anything special anymore, but then nobody has really cared much about the graphics in CS. It's the gameplay that makes it so popular. Nothing else has yet come close. I played SOF2 for a while, hoping it might be a CS-killer. It fell quite short. As did Global Operations, another game touted as a CS-killer. Sooner or later someone will make a game with better (or at least as good) gameplay than CS. It just hasn't happened yet.
