Cs 1.6 Opinions?

<div class="IPBDescription">No Flames</div> I really like it. With the exception of a couple bugs (and the hell of getting it to work), the riot sheild really changes the game. Before, the game was more or less team deathmatch. The riot sheild seems to emphasize teamwork. Plus, its also really fun to just sit there and not get hurt. I'm seeing a lot more grenade usage also. Combat is much fiercer too.

Its not better than NS, but its worlds better than 1.5 :-)

    Eh...I don't have steam installed yet. But I played alot of 1.6 on the beta. I really enjoyed the sheild, except that if you used one every T whined, and some servers kicked people for buying them.

    The new guns are pretty cool. I really like the Galil. FAMAS I can take or leave, but the price is right so I guess it's a nice addition.

    Downloading the steaminstaller with CS 1.6 right now, I'll let it set up and whatnot whilst I sleep if I need to.

    Er, I like 1.6 to answer your original question.

    graphics for cs make mario land on nintendo look good. especially the famas, its all blocky and horrible. the gameplay is OK, i dont understand if u can shoot through the shields glass becuase i always get hsed somehow, the best part is ducking and slowly walking with 2 shields side by side againt a noob awp camper and u can hear the clink and say to yourself " if this was 1.5 id be dead right now"

    I like it also. I think they should nerf the shield a bit. Supposedly bullets are supposed to go through the window but I have a hard time hitting the head (maybe it's just on a select few servers).

    I never thought I'd say this...

    CS is more fun to play at some times than NS.

    My personal favorite gun is the Galil (whatever it's called), extremely accurate and deadly. Oh, and the Scout is awesome. On Aztec, there were 2 guys hiding behind shields, and nothing would hurt them. Until a guy came behind them and stabbed them all to death. Very funny.

    Another thing, I like the new sounds, makes me feel I'm actually hitting something. The 'heavier' sounds, like the Moritia one for NS, make your gun feel stronger, at least, to me.

    It's a nice game, vast improvement from 1.5. Also, sometimes you just want to frag a bunch of people, not play a tedious struggle that lasts 4 hours.

    I dunno. It's been more than a year since I've played, and it shows. Getting fragged by "random highskiller" time after time after time just ain't fun, and it'd be months of hard work to catch up. Now gimme a server with a bunch of forumites (let's team up via the friends list), and I might like it, but not against strangers.
    The riot shield is fun, but hard to use well against aforementioned "random highskiller". If you are caught at short range with it, you're dead. People will just fire on full auto at you (immobilizing you), then run up to you, where they can hardly miss the little window. Ouch x 100. Real fun other wise though. Except that pistols alone are not a good choice.

    Just a question for anyone who has dled it. before I go and do so..
    Do they use the real names for the weapons in the buy menu, or the non-copyright infringing retail names?
    and if they use the retail names, is there anyway to change it?

    Bullets DONT go through the window...

    They just dont. You most likely sidestepped or ran when you got shot, cuz then part of you is shootable.

    I kinda like the shield.

    Turn off 32-bit, and it'll go back. <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

    I like CS1.6, but I think that the shield needs to be nerfed. No way in hell will it take 500 shots and still be in one peice. Period. A beta made it so that if it took 300 damage it'd be gone, so that'd be 3 AWP shots, but either way, I think it should have 700 life, so overwhelming odds will kill them.

    My computer is getting repaired right now so I can't DL Steam. I played the beta 1.6 (don't know if it has changed since) and I liked it a lot! I got shot at (literally) 7 times by a sniper and lived because of my shield. That's another thing, I don't see so many AWPers anymore.

    Yeah, many seem to use the Scout, as it's quicker and more accurate.

    Does Steam even work with 56kers? I really want to try CS 1.6, but I've heard that you cant even play it if your 56k... <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif'><!--endemo-->
