An interesting read.

Before I start reading... is this related to the update from 2 years ago that never happened?

It basically says there was a brief moment on SPUF of a CSS Beta forum.

It's out. Get it now. That is an order. A server will be up momentarily.

Note: Limited beta. Get it @ http://store.steampowered.com/app/260/

Interesting!

/me downloads.

EDIT: Just thought, maybe they're doing this so that the CSS uses a more recent version of the Steam engine, ie one they already have ported to Mac... HL2 update soon?

Did you actually get in?

Also, I present to you.. BLOOM!

I think the beta is very nice. its well balanced with an improved overall game speed that is sure to be popular with competitive and casual players alike.

Sounds excellent, I've heard nothing but good about it!

they need to fix the movement...this is a major problem with the game though this has been acknowledged already. The game is really hard to hit with the movement changed for me because I'm so used to it being something else.

The nade trajectories (sp?) are different which will take a little getting used to. It's effectively source really with some nice improvements (if they iron out all the problems ^ above) like extra fps potential. better interpolate etc

Watch out for the movement rage then. Yes I understand some people will not like it, but hint to people: Instead of raging, or going "cba /quit", actually put your suggestion to use. If all there is is rage on servers, Valve will never know to change stuff.

Oh yeah... http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/s ... ostcount=8

Heh, I was being sarcastic

Also, sound sgood that it's just a minor oversight as to why it's "broken".

If you have an issue with some aspect of hte beta, this might be worth checking, could just be a bug.

I present to you... the pwnage players of Techious:

Bump.

If anyone is getting a lag spike at the end of each round when the last player has been killed (he shows as about to be killed before the lag spike - but he has actually already been killed for all those who are omg i only died cos I got a lag spike etc.)

There is now a fix :]

Go to the cstrike folder and set the playerbotter.txt file to read only.

thank you. that damn lag was getting me killed all the time

? the lag only occurs when you have ALREADY been killed lol. The lag make it looks like you were killed due to the lag but in fact you would definitely still die. Just not lag afterwords.

Hope the above makes sense somehow.

just confirming that the fix works for me

and i kno, i was kidding

typical css troll. CU @ LAN. I will put you through a table you horrific mess.

whut?
i like this cheat. i dont lag but everyone else still does. easy kills

I'm honestly laughing at the amount of rage. It's quite fun, what has been broken so horribly that i haven't noticed?

reg is better. which makes the game worse. thought you would have spotted that

Yeah, and all the fixes they made.

It's just not CS:S if the netcode isn't shitty and performance is bad. And the 100 bugs or so they fixed don't remain in.

Oh trust me, you should be on the hlds mailing list, it is lulworthy. People have made server patches for 100tick. Then there's rage that the patch makes the server crash, and then theres even more rage because theres a slight cpu increase :O
