The best part?

[DeViouS]

I know there are many of you out there who bought CS:S yesterday, I wanted to get some feedback about what you thought the best part of the game was, and no this shouldn't be a poll, because I want some specific details. Also be truthful and tell us how ridiculously late you stayed up!

P.S. Hopefully, CS:S will pacify us long enough to want a little longer for HL 2.

The flash bangs.
I can't help but enjoy getting hit by them atm.

And surely you're going to get told off for posting this here.

Please read the forum announcments...

Moved to CS:S.

 

[Crushenator 500]

why is that?

Because it's meant to be in the general CS:S section

Just ignore it though, and take it into acount for next time, i'm sure a mod'll move it for you

oh, and I wish that i could answer your question, but im buying hl2 retail, so... ;(

lets see... the graphics, ragdolls, blood decals and player animation.

Im not a huge CS fan, but weirdly enough I do enjoy CS:S quite a bit.
I love the clean hud.

I like how I havent encountered an abundance of smacktards thus far, and how actually in most servers there have been people able to work efficiently as a team.

I love the shaders, and shiny effects... the hostages.... umm weapon models are fantastic... sound effects and soundscapes own me.
I love watching people die in interesting ways, flopping over chairs or whatever.. ragdolls are the most realistic I have seen in a game thus far (and I play everything) at least imo.

being able to interact with a lot of the environment... well at least blow a lot of shit up, cans bottles, computers screens plants blah blah.. lots to break multiple times.
I was kinda blown away when I was playing Office, and I blew open the side of one of the computers... I then went and looked inside the comp.. seeing the mobo, hd, cd drive, power source etc... all modelled.
I shot it, and each piece came out individually... woah.



things that could have been done better:

at this moment in time, nearly all servers are using the "miles" (aka low quality) voice codec... Im sure CS:S has support for Speex (aka high quality codec)... and hell Valve said that they would even have a better codec than that... so where is it?

Spraypaints... still wishing they would revert to 256x256.
also how do you make an animated spray?

The number of available maps... for being Hl2's only mp component.. you would expect more maps.
