This mighty helpful YouTube video shows just how far Valve’s shooter Counter-Strike has come over the past eight years, between the release of the landmark version 1.6 and subsequent revisions like Condition Zero, Source and the upcoming Global Offensive.
All shots are from the game’s trademark level, de_dust2, and show that the biggest addition to GO isn’t the lighting or fancy textures. It’s the power lines.
might get it on console. used to play alot of 1.6 in school and css in high school but fired up source a couple months ago and got absolutely dominated! Really looking forward to the cross-plaform feature (which I think means xbox vs. ps3?)
This is looking great. If the ranking is implemented well I might play it. Always getting owned, so I don’t play it at the moment.
Consider me keen on this. 1.5 to 1.6 saw wonderful improvements. 1.6 to Source more so. I have total faith in Valve.
Am I the only one who thinks source is still superior.
I mean it is clear that GO is superior, but..I dunno, source just feels more “real” to me.
Maybe its just me getting too far attached to those levels.
I was the same for the first few months when Source was released. I stuck with 1.6 but Source grew on me. I think this will be the same. We’ll just need a little while to get used to it.
why did they turn de_dust into the generic middle eastern town setting used in every modern warfare game for the past 5 years.
That was my reaction as well. Dust always felt more like some kind of stronghold type thing in New Mexico or Arizona. Probably because the skybox was the one used for the surface portions of Black Mesa in Half-Life so I just assumed it was intended as the American Southwest…
People who use transitions like that should be slapped. HARD!
Also the music sucks balls. Please let us never post anything by this person again.
CS has changed? I don’t think so.
I remember downloading the 1.2 beta of CS on dial up back in the day and thinking that the players were real jerks (coming from the Battlezone community).
I played till sometime after source came in and it was still the same jerk magnet then. Nothing has changed in CS.
…. oh wait, you mean the graphix. :rollseyes:
