Counter-Strike 1.6 Beta Changelist

Posted by The Oracle at 02:16 15/1/2003.

As most of you know, the beta version of 1.6 is going to be released via Steam on Thursday (according to Valve *cough*). Here's a new changelist that was posted at Shacknews earlier today. Check it out if you're interested in what's changed/added/removed in 1.6. Here's just a few:Let's just hope we actually see 1.6 on Thursday.

Added zoom & health in HLTV.

FINALLY

actually, theres s*** loads of bug fixes in there that have taken AGES to be fixed but i'm glad they finally will be (especially all the HLTV s***)

first time ever i'm looking forward to a cs release, only thing i don't like is that it looks like they're locking interp but unlocking it for HLTV as i bet some lame fag will find a way to exploit that and change interp in normal game too

the ONLY thing i don't like the look of is the enemy deaths showing up on scoreboard during round whilst u're still alive coz i always use that:/ [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

nah i can see at cpl or summin, in 4k game last round, stu's on 12/4, marc's on 13/3, killed last enemies & going for defuse, marc starts defusing but stu wants to come top of scoreboard so tk's him and gets the defuse frags to come top, cue laughter and lots of F5 spamming [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

yeh thats true mav, its gonna mess up scoreboard totally maybe if they had a seperate score for that like say you killed 10 people and defused/planted+exploded 4 times it might say 10 + 4, the +4 in a different colour on the scoreboard, that would be a better idea in my opinion.
Would also make the scoreboard more informative [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

i think reasoning behind the glock is that now with the addition of famas and gali, both ct's and t's have a cheaper option of rifle, therefore the pistol imbalance (CT biased) 'needs' to be fixed to level the playin field overall [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

u seen these others?

- Changed so live players don't see enemy deaths in the scoreboard.
- Fixed mouse input bug when playing with very low sensitivity in Windows XP.
- Fixed demo recording after changelevel.
- Fixed bug where players could duck while traveling up ladders and not lose any speed (but the sound volume was reduced).
- Fixed players being able to move up ladders faster than their maxspeed.

1 - going to have a better memory as to who's been killed, or bring console down to check... hmm.
2 - I know some people who will be happy with this
3 - wow, maybe my nuke demos won't load on prodigy now
4 - hmm, wonder if it fixes silent ladder - personally I thought crouch ladder was good :/
5 - makes sense I guess [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

i think that change list sucks large

what about netcode, ex_ commands, gl_maxsize, armour drop bug, celing boosts, fladhbang crouch hitbox bug the list goes on - instead they change default chasecam mode to locked which means u wont be able to follow gay cheating fags in publics cos nobdy will be arsed to change from default. they better change some of that cos atm its w**k.

and the cant see dead opposition on scoreboard thing is f***ing stupid. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

They done this in Front Line Force. If you capture the points you get more frags and if you kill someone defusing a capture point you got more. Also if you stood on an enemy grenade so that it only affected you and protected your teammates you got more frags.

In the end everyone ending up hunting for grenades on the floor coz it gave them loads of frags. I can see this happening in CS now... /sigh. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

Surely you get cash AND frags... you get $300 dollars for 1 frag so im sure you will get $900 for 3 :o I can't really see them JUST giving frags.

Looks good. Not being able to see deaths is gonna be stupid on pubs cos u wont be able to count. But in cw its gonna be VERY interesting... adding another element in ;) i.e. SOMEONE has to count how many ppl die ;) at LAN infact everyone will cos u cant talk when dead :E

I think the 3 frags for planting is a diversion of public interest and is very very clever.

Originally people were going to eb angry at the addition of the riot shield - but it seems that no posts have been directed at the shield in recent threads. All the anger seems at the addition of the 3 frags.

I think they will just remove this from the beta and then everyone will be happy with the new addition so much so.

Another idea is that they make cs so s*** before condition zero comes out and then make that really good so we all have to buy it.

I personally think this release will be great though. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

Some good stuff in there. HLTV will be a lot better now, the new guns will suck and everyone will be doing glock + armor rushes as T now with its increased power. The shield wont get used except maybe to take the p***.

Dont think you will get more money for a defuse because the team overall gets more money for winning by defuse than by elimination. Enemy deaths not being shown will only come in to play if teams use inbuilt comms or non of your team are dead to inform. Will make lans with no talking policies interesting too. Hope netcode gets locked so WWCL is no longer needed, then people can discover some new cvars to moan about...
