Both updates (Half-Life 1.1.1.0 and C.S. 1.5) include the Ricochet Mod, phase two of the recently introduced anti-cheat technology, as well as various fixes and tweaks. The Ricochet Mod source, which includes animation blending and multi-serve technology, will be added to the Half-Life SDK. In addition, Counter-Strike 1.5 includes de_piranesi, a new mission created by Iikka Keranen. <!--QuoteEnd--></td></tr></table><span id='postcolor'><!--QuoteEEnd-->

    A mission? Am I the only one wondering if this means they may finally be some real point to CS maps? Or is it just a hopeless dream? As all my dreams are.

    Oh God, not Ricochet...  Besides being one of the most annoying and obtuse mods out there for Hl, it's also the second mod pushed on us by Valve in patches.  (Or hell, maybe the third, I don't know.  I'm calling DMC the first.)  I know Ricochet was actually released a while ago alongside another release (I forget what it was), but this has really got to stop.  I'd like to see no mods shoved in my patch installer.

    I'm bored with CS not sure I'll install the 1.5, so what has changed with the new HL patch? just the anti-cheat? And thsoe mods the yship with the HL patches, I never play them, if it wasn't for Fam setting up a server or just with some peeps from the channel playing on a pub, I would never play TFC, and DMC isn't that bad, but I can't find a good server (ping under 100), never heard of that mod btw, so can't judge

    Ricochet is immense fun at a LAN. With any lag at all it becomes awful, but its the kind of game that anyone, no matter what their age, skill or experience, can jump in and have a good fun game.

    I used it primarily for dodging and aim training..As I used tons of other mods..CS For being able to play while hindered, FA for general combat training, Richochet for dodging/aim, and all that.

    Yep, "Jump in" is right.  All you <b>do</b> is jump around, and hopefully dodge floating discs of horror and mutilation.  Excuse me - <i>Neon</i> floating discs of horror and mutilation.

    Edit- Also, Jed:  You mean <i>freezing</i> as soon as a bullet touches you?  Yeah, that's great for...dying, as far as I'm concerned.

    But wait, I'm Mr. Negativity right now.  I think I'll drop this topic.

    like I said, CS is good for playing at a major disadvantage with horribly hinderations.

    I've never played Ricochet, but your reviews don't make me want to.

    On the topic of why valve is releasing another patch so soon: remember all those bugs? yeah.

    Oh cool!!! Ricochet! I've always wanted that mod.... looks like a Tron rip-off, which just makes it cooler...

    What's this about animation blending? Something that could be used in NS?
