@#$% updates

[Nsane]

Next week we'll have another Counter-Strike: Source release, where we'll be unveiling the new radar that was first mentioned here. We're looking forward to seeing how people like it, along with how it will change gameplay. Looking beyond this release, we'll be taking a look at the economy of Counter-Strike and how we're pricing weapons.

Is valve trying to do something to CAL? First it was that stupid radar system now they may possibly change weapon prices? THAT IS THE MOST STUPID THING I'VE HEARD! Really, why mess with the prices after OVER A YEAR??!!
:wallbash:

[Blis]

A true pro can adapt to change.

Look at F1.

Anyway i think it had become a bit stagnant with everyone using pretty much the same old buy tactics.

[Mad5cout]

I would wager to bet, the AK will be getting more expensive...

Perhaps they will even out the prices and this will actually help in CAL, Nsane. This could be a good thing.

[Nsane]

I doubt it will help in any way.

1) If they get more expensive thats more pistol/smg rounds
2) If they get cheaper.. second round awp anyone?

[Blis]

So long as they make the para cheaper i'll be happy :D

It would be nice if they would make weapon prices easily customisable to keep pubbers and league players happy

[Mad5cout]

I don't think that is what they mean. To me it seems like it is more about balance. The fact that it is easier to buy and AK than an M4. That you can buy an AWP easier on CTs than on Ts. The fact that its easier to get a Deagle on Ts than on CTs. My hope is that they will even the score and put comparable guns on even playing fields.

Or maybe they're just going to figure in the unbelievable f%^&ing inflation rate. Or how the war in Iraq has made the AK price go up due to the popular demand by the insurgents. :lol:

[Bonez]

i still don't see any fixes or changes to netcode and hit detection.

[Kir Kanos]

THey will never fix the hitcode. As for the weapons, my guess is that they will lower alot of prices. We have been using these weapons for the last 6+ years. The Ak is one of the cheapest rifles to manufacter.

[FozzyBear]

Maybe they'll lower the cost of the P-90...... :D

[[W33T] Canadian23]

Maybe they'll lower the cost of the P-90...... :D


oh god run

[[mAd]Dr.Death]

Maybe they'll lower the cost of the P-90...... :D

Or maybe they could make the p90 back how it was in beta4. Pure ownage it was.

[Blis]

hehe methinks you havent seen it in the hands of fozzy

[bman65]

I have a feeling the price of the m3, tmp, and AK is going up, while the m249, ump, and autoshotty get cheaper.

[[W33T] JimmytehHand8]

The M4 had better not get more expensive. They should just make the AK more expensive and that'll balance it out.

[Tykwer]

i say keep it as is. AK should be cheaper than the M4, just as it is in real life.
Didnt they lower the prices of some of the nades some time ago?

[kem$]

They need to lower the price of dualies so we can actually buy ammo for them in the pistol round.

[Vash]

You really want Flim running around with full ammo in the starting round?

[KrystalStarWolf]

I think they should improve the accuracy of the p90, give it a 200 round magazine, and give it a zoom ability. I'd forever love Valve.

[Blis]

Might aswell add a cloaking device and call it the rcp120

:jerkit:

I get a woody just thinking about it :D

[Nsane]

If they did that then I'd never play again. Noobs would just run around spraying. It would be horrible!

[[W33T] JimmytehHand8]

Haha, I hear that valve might also make a gun that lets you see through walls and get 1 hit kills.

[Gruthar]

Let's not forget the mp5 will also be able to be deployed as a sentry turret. You'll also be able to throw your poisoned knife, and...

[Broccoli]

if they just put in a tranq gun, dual cmp150s, and some of the PROXIMITY PINBALL nades i think it'd be perfectly balanced

[f1sh3r]

Is valve trying to do something to CAL?

i don't think valve cares too much one way or the other about CAL. just like DICE/EA doesn't base their game changes on TWL. it's always amusing tho to see the minority think that a company should bend to their will. *cough* *TWL* *cough*

[KrystalStarWolf]

I want...

... the riot shield.

[Vryllyn]

I want...

... the riot shield.

No... No...

DUaLiES!!!!!

[KrystalStarWolf]

DUaLiES!!!!!



Your avatar scares me!

[Broccoli]

i do miss the riot shield from condition zero ... it's not like it was all that difficult to get around, and it was cool.

[Nsane]

The riot shield would be awesome. Ever since playing 1.6 and using it I have wanted to use it in source.

[Bonez]

there were some pretty sick tricks for the sheild.

I loved getting a deagle and crouching in a vent end or a corner with it. Or charging at AWPers.
