PC Gamer Counterstrike Source screenshot

[vertetski]

Anyone has a scan of the article + screenshot??

[PriNcE oF SpAcE]

those are nono...

[Ian]

so the article was definately only about cs source then?

[ComradeBadger]

No scans please.

[Rupertvdb]

does the article exist though? Has anyone seen it yet?

[Dougy]

i dont know why people care about info on CS:S

its just the same old lamer infested counter strike with nicer graphics and rag dolls.

[c0ltM4a1]

well some of us may think cs is fun u shouldnt speak for others if u dont have any thing nice to say why even post it?? :rolling:

[alehm]

i dont know why people care about info on CS:S

its just the same old lamer infested counter strike with nicer graphics and rag dolls.

Maybe because people play Counter-Strike because of the game?

I know I certainly don't play it because of the players.

But I get your point.

[Rupertvdb]

but if no one talks about the article then how do we know it is purely cs related, i got the impression it was a HL2 MP article so it may mention other things to look forward to.

I have been playing CS since around beta 6 or something.. And for most of my time, I have disliked about 85% of the CS community.. but I continue to play because I think the game FECKIN ROOLZ! CS:Source is my virtual wet dream, so don't rain on my parade. :P

[Mr-Fusion]

Counter-Strike is a fantastic game and the community is friendly and helpful.

[Apos]

I think it was already confirmed that it's just a short article on CS:S basically recapping the e3 presentation and with a new high quality screenshot of the level we already saw.

[lans]

More like:

Counter-Strike was a good game and the community is unfriendly and unhelpful.

[Gunner]

Alright here it is, I don't care if I get banned because I think people should see this!

[BoS]

That CT model on the left has not been changed in any way at all if that's the source model. It looks like it has the same poly count even.

[Rupertvdb]

why do you not care if you get banned?

The pics look awesome but nothing on HL2 screens. Why is that?

[Gunner]

Edit: I think it looks nice ;)

[Apos]

Dude, you got owned. That's a CS:CZ screenshot. :)

[TheWart]

lol, I think they got trixored.

[Murray_H]

lol is it Far Cry with a CS model?

*edit messed up with the punctuation

[Edcrab]

Yeah, looks like FC with an imposed CT there... heheh.

PCZone (UK) has some sort of HL2/CS:S article too. I'll investigate if I get the chance...

[Apos]

yeah. Though that may not even be a CS:CZ model like I thought, could just be regular CS.

[Rupertvdb]

i look like a gimp, ah well, i nearly commented on the similarity between the Far Cry pistol and the one in the screen, then i nearly commented on the CS guy looking imposed...several other things spring to ming now...where you live again Para?

[Gunner]

Hehe, yeah it's Farcry with a CS model.

[Shuzer]

lol, I can't believe *ANYONE* fell for that :laugh:

[Rupertvdb]

i am feeling punch drunk, leave my shattered mind alone, it just needs time.

[BoS]

Well, at least I knew it was the same CT model as regular CS. Everything else looked source-ish. Whatever, good photoshop job anyway.

[lans]

Almost tricked me with the environment, but I knew that those hands belonged to that ratass Jack carver instantly...

[Chris_D]

That CT model on the left has not been changed in any way at all if that's the source model. It looks like it has the same poly count even.
lmao it's Photoshopped from a Far Cry screenshot :laugh:

EDIT: Whoops, didn't see page 2 :D

[SubKamran]

i dont know why people care about info on CS:S

its just the same old lamer infested counter strike with nicer graphics and rag dolls.

You know, I had the same view of CS when I never even played the fricking game. Now my brother plays it and I deduced that people talk smack about it because THEY SUCK AT IT. It's a fricking HARD game, not a pussy game. Yah, there's hacks and idiots, but a lot of the people are fine and don't even chat.

I'm buying CS:S for him when it comes out.

[Chris_D]

There aren't as many hackers in CS as people think.

[Apos]

Now that they can get VAC banned :)

[Edcrab]

Yeah, for every actual hacker I'd bet there's at least six people complaining about "normal" players.

It makes me laugh when people slam VAC for it's ineffectiveness but seem to think that Cheating Death is infallible... I've encountered hackers under both security methods (and that's actual blatant "repeated head-shots through walls on the other side of assault" type genuine hacking); it's a bit like Windows. Once a hole is realised and announced, the hacking groups quickly work on methods to exploit it before the hole is patched up.

[noluck]

erm... "Yeah, for every actual hacker I'd bet there's at least six people complaining about "normal" players"

i can guarantee that cs has a much lower cheater:normal ratio than 1:6..

for the past 1 month i have encountered 1 cheater.. and i have been playing it alot.. over the months i have noticed them becoming scarce..number of cheaters decreased alot since 1.6 has been released imho

o btw can i ask where you found that photoshoped pic ? its a really fake attempt tbh .. they could have atleast not tried using the first level of a game which half the world population has played

[Apos]

It's because, even if VAC is slow to update for new cheats, you never know when it will update, and when it catches someone, they are gone for good. That's a pretty huge detterrent.

[goldenboi]

Counter-Strike is a fantastic game and the community is friendly and helpful.

You're being satirical, right? :upstare:

1)The game is fantastic (if only someone could help me get my sound working- there is no question mark in Device Manager and the sound is all weird)

2) It really depends on which servers you go on... some servers, there are racist bastards ready to assault people, and then there's sophisticated low ping servers like RedOps and McP 1.6 GameGrid that are comepletely awesome and can take down any n00b talkin' trash :eek:

[Edcrab]

I'm not talking about a "cheater:normal" ratio, I'm talking about a "complainer:cheater" ratio. Then again it's still probably much higher.

I thought Para actually made the screen himself?

I haven't got a gaming magazine for a while, might start doing so again to get some cold hard glossy screenshots.

[Farfege]

Is the friggin mag out yet? I thought it was to come out today. So its all garbage from e3? How embarassing...

[FatboyTim]

They had it Asda at lunchtime.

[Mr. Redundant]

Alright here it is, I don't care if I get banned because I think people should see this!
ROFL
Counter-strike Farcry, nice

[Bicka]

Lol I can't believe ppl fell for that :D

Bravo Para bravo! :cheers:

[vertetski]

CB | Para, I don't believe this is the screenshot. I don't know how u did it but that definetly is a far cry weapon model

[Gorgon]

CB | Para, I don't believe this is the screenshot. I don't know how u did it but that definetly is a far cry weapon model

for a sec i thought it was farcry. i agree....... :hmph:

[Gunner]

o btw can i ask where you found that photoshoped pic ? its a really fake attempt tbh .. they could have atleast not tried using the first level of a game which half the world population has played

Hey I resent that! I made the pic in under ten minutes lol :E

[asd]

i never played farcry but i recognized it in the first second :)

[Maxi]

Dear ****ing god people! It's a FAKE! it's farcry with a pic of a cs model put into it!

[Striker]

yes we knew that 30 minutes before you posted lol

[Shuzer]

There aren't as many hackers in CS as people think.

Exactly. I'm tired of people crying "cheater," most are too inexperienced to make such a judgment call.


It makes me laugh when people slam VAC for it's ineffectiveness but seem to think that Cheating Death is infallible...

Cheating death *WAS* infallible in its prime. I remember the day jules (I think that's the guy that made OGC?) said he was no longer going to update OGC for the public, because CD literally patched out the newest OGC within an hour of its release.

Ah, the memories..

[daveodeth]

well some of us may think cs is fun u shouldnt speak for others if u dont have any thing nice to say why even post it?? :rolling:

theres a coherent sentence in there somewhere. :rolling:

[simmo]

Dear ****ing god people! It's a FAKE! it's farcry with a pic of a cs model put into it!

we knew that on page 2 :rolleyes:

[Bicka]

How come when I make a photoshop, ppl spot it straight away...I take ages making it all mix in perfectly :(
Then Para sticks an overbright ct onto a obvious picture of farcry and the masses fall for it!

Damn Para! Teach me the art!

[Maxi]

we knew that on page 2 :rolleyes:

There was a guy at the top of this page(my page 2) who said that that can't be the real pic.

[etzel90]

yea anyone who has ever played FarCry knows thats from the begining of the game when you get your first weapon.

As for CS, I love it!!! I admin a server (69.89.69.6:27015) and we dont get many hackers, just a few a week. VAC cant keep up with all the cheats people make so we have to ban/kick players a lot. We also made it so you cant say anything about other peoples race. Its a nice friendly server.

You guys cant bash CS, its the largest online gaming community there is. SO of course its gonna be full of idiots and n00bs, but there are a lot of good players also.

[Apos]

Isn't it sad that not only is this entire thread turned into a discussion of a joke photoshopped Far Cry pic, but even if there was a real, legal screenshot to see, it would just be of something we've all seen full motion video of already anyway. We are so desperate, it's sad.

[ComradeBadger]

I rather like CS, as do a few of my fellow staff :)

[Dougy]

I played counter strike 2 years ago for about 5 months.

i certainly didnt suck at it.

so there goes that theory.

[Volcane]

The article in PCGamer UK is just a small eyewitness report on the showing of CS:S at E3 and goes on to say that all original Half Life content will be transfered over to source. It also says CS:S will be released at the same time as HL2 and will be part of HL2 special edition, but it is not HL2 multiplayer. The screenshot is just of the aztec map with a couple of notes on what has been updated.

[Varsity]

Counter-Strike is a fantastic game and the community is friendly and helpful.
:laugh:

Alright here it is, I don't care if I get banned because I think people should see this!
:laugh::laugh:

IMO, CS is a great game spoilt by a bratty player base. I've long deleted it in favour of UT2004. ;)

[Agent.M]

Alright here it is, I don't care if I get banned because I think people should see this!

LOL.....man I seriously hope that is a joke anyone that has played farcry should be able to tell that thats clearly a farycry screenshot and not HL2!

[Edcrab]

Is that screenshot still our main point of discussion? Well, although this dead horse is infact so decayed as to be earth I suggest you examine the pic I've linked to in my sig; it's currently the best available screenshot of CS:S.

Yeah, I remember jules's remarks on OGC... and of course a huge collection of lamers followed in his footsteps, but that guy had finesse, in a slightly odd and twisted way. It almost seemed, once upon a time, that CDs excess vulnerabilities were left alone as it was a community project, but these days hackers are trying to bypass everything. Stupid gits.

[Kirkburn]

Isn't it nice to see all these threads, safe in the knowledge that I'm currently holding the mag in my hands :P

[brink's]

That CT model on the left has not been changed in any way at all if that's the source model. It looks like it has the same poly count even.
LOL...thats just a far cry screenshot with a ct photoshoped in.

funny pic, ill have to save that.

[Varsity]

Actually, the Far Cry pic isn't that far off. The deagle in the CS:S shot looks just like it except with shite textures. Them models look rubbish (like they've been ported straight from CZ, although they haven't) and the level is very 'plastic', if you get my drift. :/

They've got a HL2 preview later on with frames from the Gamespy video (cropped, or course) and say thing like how Mossman is 'flirting' with Freeman. Please! They also stupidly seem to think that it's all chronological: 'While scouting Ravenholm, Gordon is caught in a zombie ambush. But it doesn't stop him reaching Eli's lab...'

Bring back Matt Pierce, I say.

Not like it matters, I've had custom models in CS that look better than every Far Cry gun, and CS:Source will have them too

[Crushenator 500]

I rather like CS, as do a few of my fellow staff :)

and me, :o !!!!

[Bicka]

So why aren't these shots available on the internet yet? that drives me nuts. We have to wait for the magazines we don't need to buy before we get the goods. All in the name of exclusive!

[Go Go Codgo]

I'm got that PC gamer, bloody hell it looks good, the updated models look amazing. Btw i can't believe some of you fell for that FC shot! :rolleyes: Hilarious.

[Shuzer]

So why aren't these shots available on the internet yet? that drives me nuts. We have to wait for the magazines we don't need to buy before we get the goods. All in the name of exclusive!

It's already on the net.. case in point, I've seen it. :)
Anyhow, it's pretty good, but it doesn't look as spectacular as I had hoped

[Tr0n]

I never played far cry...sooo yes I did fall for that pic.Go ahead and laugh.... :(

[Lafie]

What PC Gamer magazine is it that shows screenshots of Counter-Strike Source. I've got the June 2004 magazine but there only was a big special about Half-life 2 itself not about Counter-Strike Source (it wasn't even mentioned) So what magazine are you guys talking about??

[-JeZ-]

CS is a great game. As soon as CS:S is released, even if it's a seperate purchase from the HL2 box I'll be buying it. :)

[DelaZ]

That CT model on the left has not been changed in any way at all if that's the source model. It looks like it has the same poly count even.

stupid :laugh:

CS model -> FarCry -> Photoshop

[dassbaba]

what's wrong with scans....
you will get no commendation from PC Gamer or any legally powerful entity for keeping scans out of the HL2 Forums

[Bicka]

Well its a fair guess that Valve have control over what is allowed and what isn't. The same way they had it with PlanetHalflife.com.
If its Valve's wish to keep the magazine previews seperate from what is officially released on the net then they'll do what it takes.

[<RJMC>]

the CS comunity in my country are:
addictes that play using all cheat possible

Yes...inexperiance.. I have played for 4 years :D..And I see newbies yelling cheater, cheater 24/7 when it's clear the other player is just good!

[Daegon]

this'll probably recieve a severe slap on the wrist from admin & co. but here it is.

[lePobz]

wow, that looks awesomely like the first one....

[Daegon]

really? cause it's a screen shot from a round of CS i was playing earlier today. I just have real nice skins on all my models. And i'm pretty good with photoshop. Sorry if I got anyone's hopes up, but I'll take a gander and say it's pretty representative. At least I hope so.

[Tr0n]

Knew that pic was not CSS once I saw it....you can get those same high poly AK'S and T skins from csnation.com I believe.

[Gunner]

530 views! Mouhahahah :D

[ray_MAN]

I got my recent PCG and it has a pic that looks a bit like de_aztec. I am not so sure, but it looks different than the E3 presentation. There is also a new HL2 pic in the latest issue. It is rather small, but, hey it's an HL2 pic. :P

[lePobz]

yeah actually theres a secret message in my post, you have to hilight it to see it...

[Shuzer]

If CS:S looks that crappy, I'll have to kill myself. I hope that's NOT representative, and from what we've seen, it's not.
