Playing on Mac so don't know if this is a PC issue aswell, but anyoen know why there isn't a download progress bar when joining custom map servers? Really stupid since both other CS's had it.. also whenever I try and join a server while already in a server it always boots me the main menu. The only way for me to join a server while already in a server is by quitting to the main menu.
I'm liking the game alot and bought both the PS3 and 360 versions. Haven't had a gaming PC since Diablo 1 and the original Starcraft.
It's my first CS game and I was wondering about updates. What are we missing in GO thats standard or been added in other CS games? Thinking about any new modes, maps, or weapons mostly. I'm excited to see what updates are in store.

Weapon Silencers.
I have that on PC too, hopefully they fix it.
Guys, I'm trying to remember the name of a map, the layout is a bit like this:
- Terrorists start in a house
- CT start next to a tunnel
- The CTS can get to the house trough the sewers or go trough the tunnel and make their way across a field that has a couple of rocks in it and then get to the house
- When you stand in front of the house you can go to the right to go behind the back or just enter throug the front door
- The textures / graphics of the map are desert style, yellow rocks etc (like dust)...
- It's not cs_mansion!!
edit: It's cs_militia!!

The two classic modes Defuse an Hostage are already there, what is missing is a lot of classic maps which are sure to be added down the line.
And this, though I fear they might be gone
That's good old cs_militia

as a long time cs player on pc, the move to ps3 was pretty jarring. i've decided that controller is the best way to play the game for me. though, since you haven't really played many k/m games, you'll probably find it just fine to use k/m. whichever control scheme you go with, it's a fun game and definitely worth the $15 pricetag.pkm said:
i'd love to try out move for this game, but i can't quite justify the purchase.
Got this my self, JUST before it was released, and I've gotta say it's the most CS fun I've had ever. CSS was fun due to it adding stuff for GMod, but this has given me so much direct fun. Still, I miss Militia, that map was just fucking awesome. (also miss supressors and stuff, but they'll be back eventually, I hope...)

One is the default. There's a cvar to change it to two.

Ok not sure what is causing this problem but it is making me crazy.
Was just in a game, had an m4 with 27 bullets in mag. Reload it to 30, go to shoot a guy as soon as I let off the fire button the gun reloads.
Switch to my secondary, same thing.
It was crazy, then the round restarts and I try to chat, can't type the letter "S". I try to shoot, can't shoot.
I hit f10, open notepad. Clicking works, S key works as well.
WTF?
Anyone seen this?
*edit* figured it out
Xbox pad was under a bag on my couch next to me. Had it plugged in for dark souls. I guess it was putting pressure on the reload button and the game will take keyboard/controller inputs at the same time. Glad I figured it out before I broke this keyboard in a rage.

Heh, it does seem to be a popular one frequently requested this past week - they'd be mad not to get it out ASAP!
I know not why, but memories of cs_assault came to me last night, out of nowhere... that was a good, fun map as well. I would like that one to make a reappearance.
There are servers with a new version of that map out there. I prefer the Source version though.

It's a shame there's no developer commentary in this game. I know that Hidden Path did most of the development, but I've really enjoyed that feature in the past few Valve titles.
The Counter-Strike blog is pretty good, though. There have been some very interesting posts on there, which are maybe a bit too technical for commentary bubbles.

I thought I was just an idiot and didn't know how to equip it. Is there any particular reason they removed them?
people love talking shit to FAMAS - Burst Mode users apparently. Had a few guys telling me the only reason I was doing good was because of that, yet when they tried to use it they get owned + they were shooting at the legs.
apparently getting headshots is noob stuff while spraying and praying with the p90 makes you jesus
Was there always a "Chicken!" radio command? That makes me laugh everytime I hear it...!
Without console access or them allowing user to tweak certain values I think the console version will have a shitty laggy feel.
No man, I've had games where it's buttery smooth, it's possible. Most people don't have a problem too. It's apparent, however, that a minority of players are experienced strange lag that renders the game unplayable, yet isn't solely connected to their internet speed. I was playing just fine, everything was buttery smooth, then in the blink of a second it becomes unplayable.

It runs great on my 3 year old system. The minimum requirements can be found in the OP.
Do we have a GAF server yet? There was some talk about it earlier, but I haven't seen any links to one.

Surprised they haven't fixed the cursor glitch yet. So fucking annoying.

Your GPU and CPU are both quite weak. You might want to wait until you upgrade to something faster.
I used to use this on my old system http://www.systemrequirementslab.com/cyri/intro.aspx
its not a very heavy game. im running 200fps with everything on max, except blur and shit with my gtx580
edit: searched around for a sec and found that your graphics card is the minumum requirement.. so i dont think it would run very well.
one up.. would like a european, classic competitive server
It's a source engine game, it'll probably run on integrated graphics with details turned down. You don't buy it for the graphics anyway

That's true, and it's not like the game is locked to his current laptop either. He can always give it a try and see how it goes.

There are a few small things that bother me about this game after putting about 70 hours into it. I'm sure they'll be addressed though.
1. The Bizon is worthless. I feel like T's are at a disadvantage on Demolition GG maps because of it. Or maybe I'm worthless because it always takes me at least two rounds to get rid of it.
2. No Silencers, Sprays. I'm sure these will be added at some point and I'm probably the 10 millionth person to whine about it.
3. It already seems like there are only about 10-15 servers active for some maps at a time(Inferno, Nuke, etc). At least when you apply filters to to your search results(not empty, full, or pw protected).
4. I'm getting put on servers with people on other continents when I do the matchmaking bit and my games are generally very laggy. It would be nice to be able to matchmake based on region.
I do love the game though and I see myself putting at least 1000 hours into it during its lifespan or until a new CS comes out. I look forward to them adding new maps too. I was always a massive fan of Assault and I'd love to see them address the issues with the map. I'm really excited to see what comes of the Workshop too. One of my biggest complaints about CSS is that over the lifespan of the game there was never really any great new maps created by the community that were on par with classic maps. At least none that I had a chance to play.

It's been the top-selling game on Steam since preorders were made available, so I take that as a good sign.
I thought source had tons of great maps. I mainly played it on my aforementioned custom map server, so I probably had more exposure then you did, but if nothing else contra and losttemple were very popular and well made maps. Even if contra got pretty old. Horseshoe was another well made map, that got a lot of playtime from us. Dam was pretty good too. This is assuming you aren't talking about the more goofy maps.

Plus at 15 bucks you really can't go wrong.

I think the only one of those I played was losttemple and I do remember enjoying it. I'll have to see if anyone has remade any of those for GO and give them a shot.

well if steam stats are any indication, its in 5th place right now just behind 1.6.
Crouch-Strike:Go... because if your not crouching your shots suck. I literally place my shots behind or facing the player at a distance while taking my time and I still get beat by players who crouch and spray.
I remember in 1.6 you could at least perform short strafes while bursting your gun and still be accurate.

This is because you aren't aiming very well.
No. It's because I don't crouch, which is so dumb. I could literally stand still behind the player timing my shots (2-3 burst) and nothing. But that player could turn around crouch, spray, and get rewarded the kill. Sure kevlar + helmet plays a big factor in this game but when I hear two headshot sounds and still get killed while looking at the players health showing 50% or more pisses me off.
Will probably try once it's on a sale
I can't even play online with 360 version. Everyone else can move around the map but me. I try to move forward a few feet and I get warped back. Microsoft, Valve, and Hidden Path totally dropped the ball with testing the network code. How the heck was this ever released?
I'm thinking of demanding a refund. The most frustrating purchase ever on the 360.
I don't believe you. When I try to shoot someone in the head standing still is just the same as crouching. If you can't kill the crouch sprayers before they get lucky and hit you enough you were just too slow in that encounter.

Oddly enough, playing this game lately has made me think about how much fun the FASA Shadowrun game was back when it came out in 2007.
Screw the haters, Shadowrun was awesome. Counter-Strike with magic basically!

This is a pretty cheap excuse considering other shooters are able to be played without lag like that.
This reminds me how everyone says you're supposed to crouch and fire in short bursts, yet I watch people run around firing 5 shot bursts with a M4 and still get headshots pretty often. Shit is ridiculous.

honestly, it's hard to have a fair opinion having the console version, but it does feel like go tries to favour crouching moreso than it did in 1.6. crouching was hardly gospel in 1.6, so i'm not entirely sure why everyone seems to preach it coming into go.

Apparently if you type GGMONEY into the console you get $16000 dollars.
