Source Starting to go above 1.3 in numbers

junkyard

Seen more, and more consistently now on the www.steampowered.com website if you go to status then check stats detail. During the early morning, and noon there is more 1.3 players usually because of bots, but in the afternoon, and evening source has been above 1.3 lately. people are really starting to notice source as the incredible physics engine that it is. Also an update either bringing the british to source or objective based maps should be out soon.

Ya I noticed its starting to catch 1.3. The game has gotten a lot better since the start.
There are just a few things I don’t like about it. I still don’t like the bazooka class and the rag dolls. I think they are a bit ridicules. Hopefully it will keep getting better.

I actually like the ragdolls, and love the rocket class. We have to keep in mind the same people that came out with 1.3 ,and did all the earlier beta stuff for 1.3 are on the dev team so I would expect we will see a lot of changes in the coming months, and years.

I got a 1.3 processor (pentium M) and half a gig of ram and it still runs fine, admittedly I've got to reduce all the textures to low but it still plays better and looks prettier than dod 1.3

I don't think it takes much more bandwidth than DoD 1.3.

The guns are too inaccurate AM I RIGHT???? It is retarded when I aim my garand right at a guy who is prone, fire and don't kill or wound him let alone even see the missed bullet hit the wall. Also another thing that pisses me off to no end, is trying to knife a prone person only to have them spin around and blast my face off because my first 10 knife swings didn't register. Now I just don't shovel or knife ppl unless they are standing. ALSO, I absolutely despise the fact that only assault classes get a pistol, this makes the kar98 completely useless in close situations. Now don't get me wrong, I am not that bad of a pubplayer and I have adjusted to the game and am usually ranked within the top 40 of any server that I play on but some of these problems of source really get to me.

Anyone else agree with me? I think the only real reason I stick to source is because everything looks so pretty lol.

I disagree totally and entirely.

I *LIKE* the fact that rifles are not 100% first time kill guarenteed any more - makes it more challenging. Against a sub machine gun in close combat they're useless, yes, but what do you expect?
Can you reach the ground while standing up straight? I can't. Hence you must crouch to knife someone.

Lack of pistols can be annoying but meh - life's not perfect.
