coresx Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 (edited) 75% Off Haven't played Counter Strike since 1.6. Won't knock this price back to see how it plays today. Edited December 10, 2009 by WooHoo!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sethos Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 Too bad Source never had the same feel as vanilla Counter-strike, didn't have the same precision and 'sharpness' when shooting and the first few years the hitboxes and bullet lag was a joke, did they fix that?

No. Hitboxes in source games are a joke even in the newest iterations of the engine like l4d. They need to like completely re-write their netcode.

Srugie Veteran Posted December 11, 2009 Veteran Share Posted December 11, 2009 So is this worth getting? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shivek Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 I don't know why, but to me Tactical Intervention looks like a crappy game. The graphics look really dated and the gameplay looks exactly like CS. I think for $5 this game is worth getting. Many people like CS 1.6, and many people also like CS:S. I played both and I think both are awesome games and I suggest you guys get both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finally, someone that feels the same way I do about Counter-Strike: Source. No.Hitboxes in source games are a joke even in the newest iterations of the engine like l4d. They need to like completely re-write their netcode. I disagree. I think it's bad in the first batch of Source-based games like CS:S and HL2. Over the years, it's been improving. Left 4 Dead 2, for instance, has superb hit detection. And TF2 isn't too bad either. Anyway, CS:S isn't 100% bad and it's definitely worth $5. I'd suggest getting it if you've never tried it before. It's an interesting game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dead.cell Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 If I didn't have it, I'd get it at that price for sure. I mean, not sure how popular it is today with Call of Duty eating up the FPS crowd, but I've had some great times playing CS:S, despite the crappy hitboxes as mentioned above. Though, to be fair, I put a lot time into the Zombie Mod. Nothing like surviving by pulling vending machines around you hiding in a delivery truck, with the lovely sounds of zombies running rampant as the infection spreads. :rofl: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But saying the hitboxes are superb is just ridiculous. The charger in l4d2 is SO bad constantly going straight through people on 50 ping servers, sometimes e3ven bouncing off of the survivors themselves. jockey is complete crap, you constantly jump and run up on them not connecting. Hunter has always been iffy, many times you land right on top of survivors heads and just don't connect. TF2 does have a lot better hit detection than l4d/2 though.

Lamp0 Posted December 12, 2009 Share Posted December 12, 2009 Already have it. I am waiting for Counter Strike Tactical Intervention Yea I am interested to see how it turns out. But you know it's not officially counterstrike. It's just got the main guy behind CS developing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smigit Posted December 12, 2009 Share Posted December 12, 2009 Left 4 Dead 2, for instance, has superb hit detection. *cough cough*Apparently they fixed them in the patch a few days ago (see here) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hackdoom Posted December 12, 2009 Share Posted December 12, 2009 Who doesn't have CS:S by now? :wacko: I don't. :( I used to play the first CS nonstop for hours, but for some reason, I didn't buy any of the following releases. I won't pass this deal, however. :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coresx Posted December 12, 2009 Author Share Posted December 12, 2009 I bought it, brings back the memories, had a few rounds, got some kills, remember how good some people really are, need to brush up. TF2 still calls but CS is a nice change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ViperAFK Posted December 12, 2009 Share Posted December 12, 2009 *cough cough*Apparently they fixed them in the patch a few days ago (see here) That patch didn't really help at all lol, besides every stray shot killing the spitter cause it was using charger's big hitbox.
