<div class="IPBDescription">The two patches</div> On the NS board, there is alot of uproar about the beta 4 patch. I am one of the ones who disagrees with the changes and wishes to have them altered/restored.
Now, take a look at the Steam forums. Half of the CS community, specifically the "pros" and "vets" are threatening to stop playing because an exploit was fixed. It's crazy.
I guess most of the losers get weeded out before they have a chance to join the NS community, so we have a MUCH higher ratio of mature people here.

» The crosshairs have been scaled to look the same on all resolutions. They are slightly larger depending on your resolution.
» New headshot icon. You can now see which weapon was used to make the headshot.
» de_nuke is now brighter, the floating box exploit in the ramp room was fixed, and the outside box near window is no longer destructible.
» de_cbble is also brighter, you can no longer climb the vines, and the bomb plant exploit at bombsite B was removed. New T spawn points as well as various other changes and additions.
» Sniper zoom-crosshairs have changed slightly.
» Using nightvision now turns your crosshair bold red.

The big changes people complain about are the AWP/Scout one and the bigger crosshair one.
"Various Other Improvements"
When quite clearly the changes have great importance to some people.
I like ns because it's more of a TEAM win. Cs is all frags. But there are smacktards in both games, and servers with good teamwork in both games. I've played cs games where people tell you where the ts dropped the bomb, how many are headed which way, and all that good stuff.
I gotta say I play different games, depending on my mood, whether I have to do homework, and whether my friends are on (none of them could understand ns hahaha).
CS = more people, hence more retards
give NS 50,000 people playing each day, and i assure you, you will get as many smacktards as CS. only because it's more popular
not all of us in CS are whinging smacktards.

I think I must have missed something here. What would happen if all these "pros" and "vets" stopped playing? It's a freaking game! It's almost as if they have an obligation to play it.
i haven't seen a single post on that
the majority of the posts have been about the <i>massive</i> crosshair on high resolutions (1024+), which is unplayable
and of course, the awp zoom delay. which imo was an unneeded change.
The exploit was the fact that with an AWM/Eagle you could fire the AWM scoped swap to your eagle then back to the AWM and rescope it and fire again, doing away with the reload time the gun would normally have. An easy fix for this was just to ban the AWM on servers <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->
As for the GUI... My god! It's UGLY. I feel like I'm playing CS for the Xbox. I would use the non-graphical buy menu, but it's slow and they moved the defusal kit (I keep buying nightvision!) since.
Like they say on the forums, thats just a common misconception. The only actual exploit(rather than oversight, which was the instant-zoom+shoot thing) was the fact that you could switch to deagle and be restored to full mobility too fast.
