Received a key yesterday and having fun mucking around with it. Sadly dont know any 1.6ers playing it atm, only CSS players. If anyone is playing it let me know.

Also had a few casual games with a few notables =P

Going off what I'm reading, I really am liking it. It's still only in beta and valve are constantly listening to opinions. Hope people are willing to try swap for it since 1.6 has no hope.

Yeah I made a couple of posts in there, obviously its feeling more on the source side because it's based off the portal 2 engine. I was really encouraged to see tapping is still really strong - it also has a fair bit of recoil too.

The op on that thread included some of my ramblings in there.

Oh and they've added some 1.6 death animations in the game too which is cool :)

the shooting sounds like 1.6 as in stopping/ducking to shoot is needed rathe than strafing/constant running and getting headshots like source. Saw a few sourcers complain about that which I doubt 1.6rs would.

ive got a key cozeh, add me for some co-ordinated shit boosts ? I got my key from Lurppis who is one of the trusted 1.6 players they seem to talk to. So he was kind enough to give me a key.

Wow at Masternook getting a key as well, the guy makes a thread weekly trying to get viewers for his stream.

So far you can only get a key from pro's or competitions or people at one of the registered CS:GO events (IEM NY, ESWC, DreamHack so far i think).

Pro Players with facebook "Like" pages or Twitter Accounts is probably the easiest way to get one.

But I know community sites (like HLTV.org / SK-gaming / Cadred etc) have been promised keys depending on their user base. So id assume HLTV.org will get the most. Those Community keys have not been released yet. I'm sure we(HLTV.org) will run competitions and raffles to win them. Nothing really organised yet.

I'm also in the process of trying to sign DICEVIP up as a community site, it would probably only get us 50 keys or so, but it's better than competing with the other 360,000 users on HLTV.org or any other site. And it assures that we will know a few people in the scrims.

i know someone who bought one off ebay, not sure how much he paid though, probably under $50. im not so fussed on the beta anyway, it wont be worthwhile here in aus until full release.

one on ebay atm for $97, rip off though.

#15 Why do you think gotgames is any more deserving than dicevip?

..........

edit: I got my key off hossa/oli from mTw/attax css. It'd definitely be good to muck around on csgo with more 1.6 players ~_~

There is no reason why both sites should not get keys

#16 I'm saying gotgames due to it having a big user-base compared to dicevip thus more of a chance receiving beta keys. But both sites do deserve keys

User base of the respective websites have absolutely no impact on whether or not keys are 'deserved'.

Not sure if you're trolling or just stupid :/

as long as it's legit, non-retarded and unbiased feedback it doesn't really matter who gets keys.

personally i'd rather high tier 1.6ers get keys than misc pub sourcers who would probly demand more barrels, helicopter wreckage and fish ponds around the map

not that the tiny aus cs community will have much of an impact in the development process, people just want to play it for the sake of playing it :D

that being said, key me.

Um...all I was saying is that both sites should get keys, dunno what the hell you're talking about in regards to the userbase numbers, I did not mention that at all. There is no reason why the premier Australian site for 1.6 and the premier Australian site for source should not both get keys, seems pretty intuitive to me. Of course all you retards would rather argue among yourselves than actually make the constructive set of simply contacting the developers wrt both websites getting keys. The retardedness and propensity for bickering is why cs players continue to get treated like children in terms of major tournaments.

#20, what are you on about? i'm not talking about which site deserves keys, i'm talking about how dicevip would have a very low chance of receiving keys because of its very low userbase compared to other sites such as gotgames which is so much bigger.
35. 
 06/12/11 12:09pm

So because you think Got Games may have a better chance then Dice then you think Dice should not apply at all?

Both communities should make seperate applications for keys, if anything this will give both a better chance of getting keys as it just reinforces the interest in aus.

why don't you stop second-guessing the decisions of Gabey Newell and instead perhaps shut the fuck up infrequent? dunno, just a suggestion

Also, if valve allowed for these settings without sv_cheats 1 it'd be great for competitive play:
