Steam And Cs 1.6...
<div class="IPBDescription">Can't wait for NS v1.* with VGUI 2!</div> So far, the new cs 1.6 is fantastic. I dunno how many been able to play it (I got it just before they closed it down yesterday, haven't been able to actually play until tonight.) But some the game has improved. The new map, airstrip, is fantastic, along with the updated Inferno and Aztec (<--feels all new to me).
Anyway, to make this related to NS, this is what I like. The new GUI. Works seamlessly with the game. And I dunno about you guys, but the game itself seems to run smoother now. STEAM has some issues so far, it does crash and crunch and all that good stuff you should expect betas to do, but tonight it ran pretty well for me. And the friends bit would be nice as well. When I run into a bunch of good, fun people to play with, I might be able to add them to it (haven't really played around with "Friends" yet) and play with them again some time. NS Guides could really benefit from this by having "them" put into it at default for all the newbies to be able to get help! Anyway, can't wait to see what changes Flayra's got for 1.1!

If you have the old steam, could you e-mail it to me (anyone, PM me first)?
Is NS going to be available thru Steam?
If not, why not?!
I'm so jealous of you <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo--> <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

I hear that the Gl0ck was given a lot of power-is this true?
Is the Galil better that the AK?
One more question-is the FAMAS even WORTH it?
Thanks (I'm just so damn curious <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo--> )!
1- Riot Shield block every single bullet except nade blast BUT you must have the shield infront of you and even then you can still be hsed..
2- Famas is a quite good gun ( crounched + burst mode = 3 single bullet in the same place ( ur head!))
3- Galeli is a quite fantastic gun because he have the same way of shooting as a m4 and the same firepower of a ak..
but still Shield > ALL!!!
( my opinon )
and me too i think NS on steam could and will be a nice idea =)

Since I was able to use it well before this version, my game improved much with this small adjustment. Ts should really consider sticking with the glock first round. (please note that it wasn't a huge improvement, but enough for you to consider using the glock again)

It's cheaper ($2500 vs $2000), has a larger clip (30 vs 35), and doesn't recoil as much as the AK. However, I'm sure the AK is more powerful per bullet. I wouldn't be surprised if more people used the Galil than the AK though.

(Galil is for everyone and I can see many an expert complaining about noobs using it) It has a burst mode (3 bullets) and a full automatic mode. You switch between them using the secondary fire button like the glock. A big weakness of this gun is that it has a short clip. (25 rounds) But if you can make those shots count, you can do some heavy damage. But what's REALLY nice about this weapon is that it fills the price gap between the MP5 and the M4, and it's cheaper than the AK. (FAMA = $2250)
The new GUI absolutely kicks ****. You can bring up any menu in front of the game while it's playing in the background. You can adjust any of the menus to any size, shape or area of the screen. The console is one such menu. The console menu even has a nice feature that no one has commented on yet. Say you type "m" first, then the console lists all the commands that start with "m" that you can choose using the arrow keys or mouse. Quite handy if you can't quite remember how to spell a command. Best of all, all the menus are fast and easy to use. No more escaping out.
Still can't figure out how to message people over "friends" while in-game. I thought you could do that.
As for bugs, the biggest one I'm running into right now is not being able to connect to servers. It will disconnect me as I'm trying to connect. I think this problem is server specific though and it may have to do with all the servers (or most?) being not dedicated.
as I tested Steam 1 as well.
After many hours of caching the files for Counter-Strike 1.6 I finally got
a new VGUI screen up. I changed my resolution to 800 * 600 .... it crashed.
Tried again and finally got de_dust to load. Seconds later there was 8 people
including myself, in my server! I only set up the game to look at the new guns
and the Riot Sheild.
The riot shield was great fun to use and you can get through those narrow doorways
alot safer.
When playing as a Terrorist and the new Galil I noticed that everytime I killed
a CT carrying a Shield it was from a headshot. Which leads me to think:
A: The players head bobs up and down allowing the headshots
B: The glass panel on the screen has a weakness and i got him through that.
I think option A the most plausable
Oh and..... note to DOOMAINIAC, i'm also quite keen to get TFC running.
When i try to "Launch Game" I get a "Game is currently unavailable" message,
I'll keep trying and post a pic of me conc_jumping across the maps <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->
It looks buggy in that screen shot check how much bigger the one faraway is to the one next to you. The one far away covers his entire body.

The guy in the pic who is furthest from me, is lunging forward
with his knife so it looks a bit bigger.
The shield in 1.6 beta does block everything but it seems to
have a limit to how much it can stop. I've told been the sheild eventually breaks
but i'm yet to see that for myself.
And according to CS-Nation's reports, the CPL sheild from a few months back
also stopped all types of bullets. Including AWP/M shots.

Like I said earlier, if a guy with a shield strafes, his head becomes exposed as the shield goes sideways. OR, if he puts it to the side, the easiest thing to hit is the head. (although, once a guy turtled up and I shot his foot) Other options are the arms and legs that poke out while he stafes or puts it to the side. However, these are far less likely to kill him.
I think the shield will be a novelty that will wear off except for some experts who excel at the pistol. If the CTs lose the first round, the second round is where you'll see the ballistic shield the most. (my guess)
