Guns shoot shards of ice.

I'm new to CS - only started playing on Friday :dork: , but I've found that if I'm so much as clipped by a single round I freeze (can't run away, strafe or anything), making me an incredibly easy target and so I die very quickly. Is this supposed to happen?

 

[Edcrab]

That's interesting- that's exactly what happens to me in the original CS. It's a damn annoying "feature", although I honestly remain unsure what why and how it happens.

Clearly it's intentional (aargh) if CS:S also has it...

Every time you get shot you will be slowed down, it's been part of the game for over a year now. Some pull out their knife and switch right back to regain their default speed faster, just got to have the reflex

 

[jonbob]

Bah. Silly feature I think. I'll just stick to avoiding getting shot in the first place - probably more sensible.

 

[Edcrab]

Alternatively you just get killed and spend the rest of the round whining... that's the Ed way

Oh yeah, just wondering- does leaping through incoming fire still stop the effect in CS:S? Nine times out of ten when I or another player was falling or jumping while getting shot the speed reduction never kicked in...

 

[jonbob]

If it was just a speed _reduction_ I wouldn't really mind, it's just that being frozen completely seems too much. Valve might as well just make all the guns one-hit kills.

 

[Gunner]

Jon it shouldn't completely freeze you, that's not normal at all. Are you running a firewall - say ZoneAlarm or Sygate? or were you experiencing any lag?

 

[Edcrab]

Yeah, like I said I'm not sure how it works exactly, but it seems steepled, cumulative in how it functions; so if I got hit by a burst of bullets (doing surprisingly little damage, I might say) all together they'd freeze me for so long that I'm dead anyway. I've thought the exact same thing since they implemented it... but don't worry, I'm sure you'll get used to it in the new version.

Unless you're me. Grumble.

That's not the way! You're a disgrace!


It just slows you down, it doesn't freeze you. If you were shot in the chest when you were sprinting, you'd slow down too!

Yeah, my favorite feature of CS is the one that pulls you back into enemy fire after running around a corner or something.

haha I've seen that one oh what fun :dork:

It feels like in CS Source that you move a little slower when shot (to me at least). And also you get slowed when a grenade explodes near you now.

Wouldn't stop you running away, ie backwards though.
