[thundertiger]

Heres some screenies of DE_TRAIN with the new HDR ..........

[phat-ant]

ok thanks for the screen shots. i guess ill just give up playing now then.
yet more ways to spoil the game. gg valve.

[Flamingwoks]

Well welldone steam on making the game just that little more unrealistic. u surely are the best at making something good a whole lot worse.
Hey in a few mounths we might have auto aim and maps soo detailed no computer can run them.
I hope there is some way of changing the radar back or atleast moding it into something a little less rediclous.
cheers again steam youve outdone yourself yet again to just prove to us how crap you can really be

[executioner_dave]

If it ain't broke, don't fix it.


Obviously Valve just doesn't get it. the game worked fine before, but now: I've got a stupid looking radar in the top corner, my player squats like an old man whenever I press crouch and all the fooking mods are out of action.

Fuckin' A!!!

They could have at least play tested this shit before they put it out. Did anyone even ask for these updates?

[Pez]

I'm happy with the crouch height changing so that what you can see is in proportion to where other people can see your head. Better than being popped over obsticals by people who's heads are invisable.
As for that new radar.....turd. Looks too fancy and is does almost exactly the same job as the last one while being really annoying

[phat-ant]

it would be nice if they held some sorta opinion poll about what they want to change when it comes to the basic game dynamics but hey i guess its there game and they just want to sell more copies, so they need to make it easier for idiots to understand.

shame tho :/ we will all in time get used to it but i for now hate it dont like the idea and never will. i still hate the 3 points/kills for a bomb explosion / defuse. gives little kiddies better scores than they should have! grrr.

grrr and double grrr @ valve

[24thfret]

I don't like it, it's overly detailed and pointless.

[Snowman]

Agree from what i have seen. It didnt need changing. Just makes the game even more unrealistic

[24thfret]

After playing a bit of CS, I don't mind the new radar, when I hear footsteps now, i'll actually look at the radar to see if it's a friendly, you can also see which way your team-mates are facing which makes things alot easier, especially for newer players.

The player’s eye height while crouching now matches their in-game player model eye position more closely.

That's the best thing from the update.

[Pez]

Yeah I've come round too, its not spectacually brilliant but it certainly doesn't ruin it. Just takes a bit of getting used to

[VoLaTiLe]

i think its kinda cool, most of the other games have radars like that (bf2 ect...) i think its definately interesting and dont mind having it there although it is slightly cartoony...
