Upgrade your CS to 1.3

[Stormy]

i know alot of people have been complaining about 1.6, i personaly dont like it as much, i feel the game has been changed to much, new awp annoys me, new X hair etc etc. this isnt a thread about me complaning about 1.6 so please dont make it one..

i know alow of people wont have played the older versions etc but dont really matter. well a group of guys have made 1.3 run on steam, once i played it abit i relized how good CS used to be, there is so much freedom and the game dont feel like there is so much shit running in the back ground. there are quite a few servers on it and each day there seems to be more. there are alot of old skool player playing it and its a good laugh.

my mates got this and hes a "pro" cs player... he wouldnt use it for anything other than public servers, tho...
i may give it a go.

 

[Neutrino]

Is there anywhere to play it online? I'd love to play 1.3 again.

 

[Stormy]

yea quite a few severs but there will be more and more once people relize how good cs used to be

 

[Shuzer]

yeah, I've been playing this lately.. oh how I missed 1.3, pinnacle of CS (except for bunny hopping, meh, that's the main reason they put the slowdown after jumps)

 

[Neutrino]

Dang, that was cool. It would be damn funny if all the cs players switched back to 1.3. I loved the fact there was no slowdown on jumping. Even if I have to put up with bunnyhopping it is worth it.

Bah, the beta stages were the best years of CS.

 

[Sprafa]

Shouldn't that be Downgrade?

 

[Neutrino]

Bah, the beta stages were the best years of CS.

I agree. The funnest times I had in CS were before 1.0.

 

[Sui]

Shouldn't that be Downgrade?

its called a "pun".

CS only stands up because of it's realism. If you want to play unrealistically, games like UT2004 blow 1.3 out of the water.

CS and realism are two words that don't belong in the same sentence

Past "real-world" locations and weapons, there's nothing realistic about CS

Nevertheless, unless CS sticks to realism there are far, far better alternatives.

Meh, one person's opinion. I hated UT2004. But the early CS was great.

CS 1.3 was the pinnacle for me. Right before I stopped playing steam came out & I tried CS 1.6 (maybe a beta version?) and what annoyed me the most was the sounds had changed. Before I could know precisely where someone was by the gun sounds...but the changes made that very difficult.

They eventually reverted back to default sounds, before 1.6 went final

Hurray for Counter-Strike Classic. http://www.fileplanet.com/files/130000/138059.shtml

 

[crabcakes66]

1.3 was my favorite version of CS.....


it fixed most of the bugs.....and was still actaully fun. I stopped playing CS after 1.3....

 

[Farrowlesparrow]

I stopped playing CS before it even finished the beta. I think it was on version.5 or something...it was only a couple of months before commercial release anyway.

I've tried it a few times since then but i've never really got into it. Some games were fun becaue it wasnt taken to seriously but really its just not my cup of tea.

 

[Stormy]

if they took the game of 1.3 and just done a cople of little updates :
-first person when dead
-smoke
-movment on second zoom of awp
and other small things like that which where really good the game would be amazing. they have gone over the top trying to create this so called "realism" and cs has never been realistic. the gameplay has changed and it was the game play that made the game so great, everything that was "unrealistc" was part of this amazing game play :/

1.3 was perfection, IMO.
Take out the grenade bug, the walk bug and remove bunny hopping and I see no reason why you'd need any other version

 

[Stormy]

na bunny hopping is part of it, jumping HS with pistols so much fun

 

[umop]

Aw damnit, I clicked the link and I was instantly put into reminisce mode, remember all of the hours upon hours... no, weeks upon weeks of doing nothing but playing CS in complete bliss. Mommy I want my 1.3 back

Yeah, i had some good times back in the day...A remember one summer CS was actually one of the major things i played which sounds so weird when i say it now.

Bunny hopping isn't the same as constant jumping

 

[Dux]

Heh, funny thing is, after the first initial update which removed bunny hopping (grrr) you could still bunnyhop. Infact, I think you still can. Unless of course, considering I don't keep up-to-date with Counter-Strike anymore, someone figured it out and did something about it.

with some scripting its not hard...

 

[Dux]

Aye, scripting no probs. But being able to do it without the assistance of the Alias is a rare skill.

 

[Stormy]

i can sometimes pull off 2 or 3 jumps think the most i done was 5. its ot that hard but you still slow down when you finish

 

[Sulkdodds]

Beta 7.0. was my favourite.

 

[Sg.Bull]

7.0 rocked... i started at 7.0.. although i did like 1.1 and 1.3 a lot

remember when the colt used to have a scope? those were the days... :|

For the absolute sake of continuing the tribute to cybersh33p (and I know it used to have one)..

pfft, colt got no scope, n3wb.

The day I started playing CS, I played one map - and the colt had a scope. the next day, a new version came out, and no more scope

I had a scoped colt for all of one day in my CS experience

poor u :E
hehe i kinda miss the scoped colt.. dunno why..

 

[Sulkdodds]

Meh...it's better balanced without the scope, sicne oyu get the AUG as well. I'd rather have a scope-less colt and an aug than the two combined. Still, it was nice.

 

[BaBaR]

yeah, I remember those days. I started in Beta 5.2 and i have some really fond memories of back then. With that said i still think counter-strike is a better game now. You guys would imagine how much people (me) camped back in the betas. There were unzoomed crosshairs on the sniper rifles... Imagine how awful that would be now. The models really did look lame back then, and more people cheated. And bunnyhopping may have been cool, but only if you knew how to do it. It wasnt if someone was jumping at twice the speed you could run and killing you. True there are too many AWP whores now, and i still think they should make it so you cant run while zoomed with the awp. The awp should be a defensive weapon. I hate seeing people rushing around killing people left and right with the awp. Counter-Strike is evolving and its still a lot of fun.
btw i dont even remember anything special about 1.3. I want to play old maps tho. Anyone know any servers that play old maps like cs_docks and cs_thunder and even old as and es maps.... es maps like es_subway... now those were fun.
There may still be a mod that lets you play beta 5.2. I downloaded it a year or two ago and it may still be alive. Go looking for it. well thats all of my nostalgic rant.
