CS:Source

So I played some CS:Source last night(I know, I know cs is a bad word around here).

It was very cool. Graphics were great, my comp could handle it, but my FPS were around 20-40. The rag doll physics are cool, and when you shoot the dead bodies, they move realistically.

If you've ever played cs, the hig reg is completely different. The AWP is hard to use now, I couldn't hit a damn thing with it. One of the coolest things was how almost everything can be moved around. Like barrels, tires etc. It was funny to see barrels and tires rolling down the hill.

The smoke and grenade effects are great. When a frag grenade blows up near you, your "ears" ring and you can't hear for a while. The Flashbangs are similiar, except you get the white screen and the ringing. The smoke looks incredible. I would post some screenshots, but it appears they disabled that function for the beta test. Same with demos.

Anyone else played it? What did you think.

I can't wait for DOD:Source. Cause CS really isn't my game, but it was fun to see what the HL2 engine is capable of.

Sounds awesome. I want to try it but I don't have CZ or anything.

I was impressed by it. It was rather hard finding a server with slots that didd'nt ping 400+

btw, screen shots aren't disabled, look in:
C:\Program Files\Steam\SteamApps\email addy\counter-strike source beta\cstrike\screenshots

You jsut reinstalled? But steam NEVER causes problems

If i had some money i'd buy cs, but i'm cheap and it's not my game. Glad to hear that the graphics rock, did the game chaneg much, or just updated physics and such? I want to know so mayeb they won't change much on tfc either.

I think the new physics change the game a lot in itself. The flashbangs, grenades, and smoke are a lot more effective now than before. I haven't tried it yet but that's what I've heard about it.

Ive been thinking about trying it myself. I jsut cant get myself to buy CS though, even though it was kinda fun when TV had that server for a day or two.

I wouldn't go out and buy CS:CZ just to play this beta, I don't think it's worth it. I'm only playing because of my HL2 coupon
