its not a bad thing but why bother releasing progress videos 2 days before its actually released anyway.

-having player names on the radar w/ map overlay is very good
-whats floating on his leg ~8.30min first vid LOL

nice looks really good

and andrew they're not really 'progress' videos they're just showing every single option/feature thats available in the final release, so when you start up the game when its released you dont have to go through and test what everything is u'll know straight away what options (for the majority of them) u'll want to use and what everything does.

To help users become more familiar with CSP and ease them into the mod without actually downloading the game I guess. It looks good but probably won't be accepted straight away until the models are replaced in 1.05 I reckon.

zomg so keen for this, 1 more day fellas! #3 is correct as well imo but still keen to give it a try :)

wow it looks insane imo! will there be a aus server setup?

"its not a bad thing but why bother releasing progress videos 2 days before its actually released anyway."

Why bother posting about why bothering!!! actually why I am posting about why bothering a why bothering on a why bother...

GG already have servers up afaik, and IPGN will have them up soon after 1.04 becomes downloadable.

yeh GG will have a bunch set up in their pug service on gotgames live or whatever

and yeh i agree george i dont think it will become properly accepted (if at all) until the models/animations are done, but its a massive step in the right direction as their progress looks great.

they said they will be releasing some vids of the current state their up to with developing the animations on the models with, or very soon after, the release of 1.04, so i think they will help alot with people realising if it will be good or not and staying on board with csp

if people stayed on after the 1.01 and beta they are still going to stick around.

#11 pretty sure no1 stayed on LOL, by stay on i actually mean stay on, like keep up to date on the forums and offer input, and play the game and help to improve it etc, not just uninstall it and delete it for 2 years then reinstall when they release a new update

and yeh #12 imho dno why they didnt just wait a few months to complete the animations and release it then with them, but i suppose it will help down the track to getting the game better, quicker

maybe they wanted to keep people interested and keep them keen by showing what they have already accomplished and telling us there is still more to come, but personally i think they should have waited especially knowing how much the 1.6 community flames things that are trying to help it rofl

yeh they released the first 3 versions earlier than they wanted to because of that same reason, and it backfired hard, thats why i thought they would have learnt their lesson

whats the 1.3 death notification do

yeah thats what i was wonderin

just the same but without the gun model when you get a headshot ie:

(only has headshot icon, no gun)

edit: im assuming atleast, although im not sure why they called it 1.3 so it could be something different, i know enabling/disabling whats in that pic is an option though

mybe ga will host server

im aware why they made them, i was pointing out that it probably took a week or 2 to make the videos and now they only get 2 proper days to play it before the mod is released.

well considering they probably only finished the final build for release a few weeks ago its not like they would have had much choice ^_^

thanks for the update~!

#22 i had a brief look through it and im pretty sure none of the stuff in that dev log will appear in 1.04

dont know about the new 1.04, but in the leaked one you cant do a one hit knife kill to the back :(

#1 they fixed that bug, check the comments on the youtube vid

whats the source communitys response to this? 1.6ers are fair keen for obvious reasons, but do saucers wanna make the change?

the gg guys know source will die off before 1.6 so jumping ship to csp will be their best option. at least that way they will save some humility in vouching for a game thats known as the inferior choice in the counterstrike series..

1.6ers will probably play both here in aus because lets face it, online is dry. until america or europe change, theres no chance csp will be adopted, and that seems a long way off still from all the changes csp have on their roadmap.

p.s. I play source but prefer 1.6

guythz its still in the beta stages, it prob wont get picked up in any competition till its finalised

SO YEA

i wonder how long after beta it will take to release the game, how long does it usually take a game in beta to reach the shelves? (or steam shelves in this instance i spose)

#32 this isn't a normal structured commercial release. So the time frame won't be based on any industry standard. The beta so far has taken 3 years - I'd say if this version is all it's hyped up to be, then we're probably looking at another year till it's released officially. That won't mean that updates will cease, rather the game will be in a competitive state.

Ps. It won't be sold on steam. It will potentially be a part of steamworks, ie. You'll be able to download the game and any updates automatically. Rather than having to download them manually.

if some 1 has a server box pm me and ill setup a cspromod server

you need source dedicated server

anyone swapping from 1.6 to csp?

cliffs from interview:

- csp is building rapport with major tournaments
- good feedback from top tier players like fnatic
- csp will bring in more sponsors
- 1.6 is a better game than css
