Yeah, since the lobby system stills operates on "server" rules, aka not automatically putting people on the same team and forcing everyone to manually pick a side, it's kind of a shit show. The lobby system should find me and a friend a server that needs 2 people on one side or whatever and automatically put those 2 people on the same team.

Otherwise, it's not much of a lobby system.

There are more idiots out there than you can possibly imagine.

i would think that would be really cool. having the option to find a full team vs team match and not just how its now, where youre just put on a server with random people. need to try with a full team of friends, but not everyone is to exited about cs anymore.

Anyone else on PS3? I'm having a lot of fun with this. Good effort Valve.

 

[Levito]

Really glad the Achievements moved over. Put about 50 hours into the beta. I'm excited to get home and play a bit more tonight.

Also, I found this pretty funny. Why are people so dumb?

I really hope that's just trolling.

 

[Heavy's Sandvich]

Er Football Manager is incredible.

I've got the Cleaner achievement apparently. Must have lucked it out in Office a few months ago.

http://steamcommunity.com/id/bigbosseyepatch if you want a few games.

 

[ashbash159]

Just been on two maps in a row with missing textures.

Also horrible noises come out of my headphones sometimes. Really harsh sounds.

 

[StuBurns]

I haven't played Football Manager for a long time, but it used to be serious crack, the ultimate 'one more turn' experience.

 

[Amish]

tbh.. i know nothing about that game. thought i was the same thing as fifa. but i guess it can be good

will most likely pick it up later tonight when i get the chance. how is it on ps3? are you using m/kb? are there dedicated servers/server browser? is there a console?

For those who wanted to do their own Zombie Mod servers, there is some bad news. The people behind the GO version, plaguefest.com, won't be releasing their stuff into public and will be keeping Zombie Mod on their own servers.

Fuck that. Just wait until a new zombie mod comes around.

I'm trying to add their server to my favorites, but whenever I try to browse community servers my mouse cursor disappears. Bah.

Anyone else having trouble finding an online game via PC?

Nope, I found games almost immediately for all game modes.

Is there any point in reporting racists and homophobes?

 

[hyduK]

It will probably be still really popular. Doesn't matter to me if it is the most popular version or not. I really like GO. More than Source and I just can't play 1.6 anymore because it will give me eye cancer.

You gotta keep a good old CRT standard for 1.6. 800x600 for life.

 

[Liamario]

I'm interested in getting this for the PC, but with CS: Source, I just keep getting owned.

Aiming will come eventually.

In the meantime work on learning the maps, where you can be hit from, heard from, seen from, etc. Just knowing where you should be aiming/throwing nades and such will make you better than a lot of players.

The fuck? Is this a common thing for mods? I assumed all mods were released publically because they're, well...mods.

You have to do that anyway. 160Hz and zero input lag FTW.

It runs fine on PS3. I'm running Dualshock at the moment. Its alright with it but hard to hit my mark sometimes due to no aim assist. (which I like) Will try it with the move later. I would try it with a M/KB but there is no way I can get a comfortable setup so that is on hold for now. There is no server browser, its matchmaking. It works great so far though, pick mode, map, and you are usually in a full game. I'm going back in now.

 

[Amish]

i guess not for official mods.. cs is technically a mod, but it was acquired by valve and sold on steam.

Is there any point in reporting racists and homophobes?

i mean you could.. but you wont get rid of them. even if the ones you report gets banned there will always be more.. your best bet is to play on one server, and one server only.. that way you could get familiar with the admins and get people like that off the server.

Tomorrow I think

 

[feel]

Judging from the post on the l4d blog, it seems like their team provided the skins of their Commons for the zombies in CSGO. Why is this exclusive to a single cs community to use?

Good way to kill interest in a mod, not too bothered as I always thought the mod was garbage and with actual Zombie games out now it's irrelevant.

 

[OriginofHysteria]

Wtf, I'm still having issues with joining community servers. I keep getting the "game is no longer available" message.

I've run into the same thing today. Never saw that in the Beta.

Is there a demo/trial for the PS3 version?

 

[solidus51]

Wow I thought people were respectable on pc?

So what happened to the supposed PS+ exclusive 60 minute trial that was meant to be downloaded last night?

I can't find it at all on the Store or on my system.

this isn't merely pc, this is Counter-Strike..

It'll be up whenever Grace Chen wakes up and does her job.

Go into setting -> system settings -> auto update and change it to your current time. Shut off the PS3 and it should restart and start downloading the demo.

The demo for PS3 is PS+ only.

 

[WelfareBurger]

you can also find the PS+ trial in the store, under the full game trials.

I don't think CS is noob friendly at all. I remember when I started with CS 1.1 I was getting owned left and right for a good couple of weeks before I started getting decent.

Maybe the ELO matchmaking will help alleviate that though since you won't have to play against high skilled players.

Prepare to get ur ass kicked for the first couple of hours while you learn how the weapons handle and you get to know the maps.

If ever you felt like getting into CS, now would be the time.

I'm sure there are plenty of other people who are playing CS for the first time today. Historically, it's been a pretty hardcore game.

Did the psn store just update?
I come to it being updated (east coast) thanks grace chen

Do you enjoy carrot on a stick progression system? It doesn't have that.
Do you enjoy feeling powerful when you are sucking? It doesn't have that.
If you're good, you're good. It's not terribly difficult.

 

[smr00]

Took me awhile to get M/KB going on the PS3 version.

The setup was actually instant, it's just the gaming mouse i used acted crazy in-game, it was way too floaty and far from 1:1 so i unplugged it and plugged in my Intelli 3.0 and it's almost 1:1. I mean it's obviously not going to be as smooth and accurate as a PC but i am impressed. I wish they would of gotten it capped at 60fps but i really dig it.

BTW the mouse that was too floaty and out of control was the Razer Deathadder and i don't know if it's because it's really high DPI or what but i literally sat there for 45 minutes going through all acceleration/sensitivity controls and the Razer mouse was just terrible on all settings. Also it seems like either not a ton of people are using M/KB or don't care for it because i played for about 2 hours and completely wrecked everyone but then again EVERYONE was spraying and praying. It was amusing.

As someone who has never played Counter-Strike before-is this game "noob friendly"?

(veteran COD and BF player here)

If by noob friendly, you're asking whether or not you can do well as a new play...I'd say likely no. You'll need to learn the maps, and how the basic weapons behave in order to perform adequately. You'll die a lot, and since the game plays in rounds, you'll have to wait for the next round before respawning again.

You could play Arms Race to practice with the weapons, but that won't teach you much else about the game.

 

[Izick]

I can't find a demo or trial for it on the PSN store. I'm a Plus member in the US.

 

[feel]

You won't get anything handed to you in a silver platter (except maybe your ass) but I'd say it's noob friendly, it has a tutorial and you can play offline with bots in multiple difficulties until you get the hang of it.

 

[Alexios]

Played a bit, seems alright, maybe a bit more like CS than CSS this time, although I haven't played either in years so I could be wrong. Really ugly though, at least Dust 2 is... I like playing without respawns, such a shame most games steer away from that.

 

[Little Old Man]

Shame about the zombie mod. They've just shot themselves in the foot as it goes against everything mods are about. Hopefully it just spurs someone to create a better version.

This game really needs at least 3 match making presets, including region, game type, casual/competitive, and map which I can pick straight from the start screen. I'm sick of having to keep clicking everything again when a server is full, or I can't join for another reason.
