[Blacksite]

Also coming out for the PC and Xbox 360.

Already got this pre-ordered on psn. I'm hoping it's good and active.

[Joe Zombie]

Pre-ordered this as well. After reading some beta impressions, a lot of people seemed to be pleased with it. Still that classic CS, but with a few changes of course.

Can't wait until Tuesday. I'm sure there will be plenty of people playing it. It is CS, and Valve, after all.

[gangsta_795]

I played the beta and it was certainly very good. No worries about the online activity.

Still haven't pre-ordered though..

Would be nice to see gameplay.

Thanks. Saved me $15. I knew the game was not going to have great graphics but clearly this is a pc shooter....nobody aims. I hate games where no one has to aim. I'm not going to say its cheap or unskilled or anything but just I don't like them and I will pass.

[billm0066]

Yeah the gameplay doesn't look impressive. Just another shooter.

This is how counter strike has always been. It's all skill based shooting and team work.

You obviously haven't played a CS game before. Or any PC shooter, it seems.

[YoungMullah88]

lol "no body aims" now move along to cod and MoH...i cant wait to start playing this game, the inspiration behind the socom franchise

[keefy]

CS players generally have really amazing aim actually, they usually lack movement skills (there are exceptions) but make up or it with superb aim skill.

No idea what he saw that made him say that.


Been a while since I played the Beta I might give it a go again it keeps beign updated often, Also right now there are 30,000 players playing and its not fully released.


P.S
ITs coming out on PC and also PS3+Xbox.

[gangsta_795]

Yup the amount of dedication CS gamers show is more than any other (probably with the exception of WoW).

[davin_g]

You are correct. I don't play shooters on pc. I play other style games like CIV etc on them. I appreciate someone showing me gameplay because what is the point of different guns and recoil or anything if you don't have to aim. To me it takes the fun and realistic shooting out of it. I play mostly Battlefield so yes call me what you want. I've played COD but I have my gripes about that game too. I don't understand games built like that. Whats the point if your pistol has the same accuracy as a sniper rifle or assault rifle? I know no game is exactly realistic but why is there an + (crosshair) on the screen when you aren't aiming???? Just feels cheap and no fun (IN MY OPINION). Not going to hate because LOTS of people love it. Just not for me. Thank you for showing me some gameplay. It has fun looking maps and graphics weren't terrible and for 11.49 I was interested in picking it up...but the gameplay isn't for me.

Edit: What I meant about no one aims was no one ADS. (Aims down sight) All the gameplay videos online had almost no one ADS.

[keefy]

I see what you meant now, (ADS) Aim down sight.
There is no ADS in Counter strike, never has been nor will there ever be, it slows the pace down too much.
All the aiming is done using the crosshair like how all video games were before COD made the ADS mechanic popular.

"go go go!"

"go go go!"

"go go go!"

Anyone spam the shit out of the command messages?

Also, I played CS source years ago with a friend on PC, it was LAN style, we had PC's set up next to each other..SO MUCH FUN!!!

[Joe Zombie]

Lol I was confused as well. "No aiming? Whats he talking about?"

But yes, ADS is not a staple of the CS series. I'm glad, but then again I've been playing since 1.6 and I suppose I've grown accustomed to it.

I created blank audio files for that and "fire in the hole" so when they were spammed them I heard nothing.

I wasn't trying to be offensive to Counterstrike. I know how popular it is and I can see its a quality title (why I was considering it). Yes I prefer games like Battlefield where the gun mechanics more mimic real life. (again I know its not a simulator) I appreciate the links to help me make my decision. I just prefer games like that. Even Killzone annoyed me because people would do that soo much. I know people that put a little tape dot in the middle of their tv screen to mimic the pc thing and to me that just takes the fun out of the game. Just not my style but looks like a quality dl for a lot of people. Enjoy!

[keefy]

I think your reason is ridiculous. I have never been a fan of ADS but do not let it stop me from playing games that use it.

[DreDayDetox]

Curious to see how it is to play this game with a controller.

[swordfish64]

I'm downloading now. Anyone who is a fan of the Socom games needs to download this as Socom at its core is a third person remake of the original Counterstrike for PC. I've been watching youtube gameplay and the game looks fun as shit.
Is it too much at this point to hope that if this game does well it will push Sony to accelerate a Socom HD remake? I hope so.

the way your thinking now is the same taught process developers have employed this generation of gaming which is why every 3rd person shooter out there has an ADS button assigned. ads is not needed in every fps/tps! too bad zipper didn't get that memo. thank god for devs like valve and slant six (for socom confrontation) who do not make it mandatory to ads to have an accurate shot...rather the player controls the recoil

^^^ I hope so too sword
