Well I've finally started to hear the rumours. Took me long enough, with my pc free existance. Valve is thinking about CS2...
What do you think? Hit or miss?

So the article I read that had Lombardi quoted talking about it was a fake? See if I can dig it up...

With Counter-Strike 2, there's a big question between, do we go start over from scratch and build a whole new game, do we do something that looks more like Team Fortress 2 that is rooted in the old game but has a ton of new stuff, or do we just sort of take everything that's new that we've released and put that out in a new box.
I think we're leaning more towards the two more radical places than just sort of rolling up the new box and re-skinning the box and putting out all the new stuff.

CS is a great game - it would be a shame to break it. However, I would love to see more development, in the form of persistent ranking (awards, ranks, - and Clothing etc unlocks, not Weapon unlocks, would ruin it) and the addition of new Weapons etc. Maybe gas grenades? and Gas Masks?

Tear gas would be trippy tbh. I'm kinda looking forward to seeing where Valve goes with CS now. They have a huuuge fanbase and no matter what they do somebody is going to try kill Newell or burn down ValveHQ because of a minor change to balance.

Make it better than CSS pl0x with a better hitreg pl0x
It's actually called Counter-Strike Online and is really only for the asian market.

There used to be a server side mod that made smoke grenades gas grenades. You'd lose a little health if you went through it. This might have been years ago on 1.6 or lower. There was another mod that added weather, tracers and maybe some other stuff. It was cool but they stopped updating that.
And if I remember right it had 1.6 style graphics...Jenspm wrote:

well, it's based on condition zero which actually has its own engine (I think).Phatmatt wrote:

Nope, it didn't. Condition Zero used the Goldscr engine too. It just had higher polygon models and higher resolution textures. Counter-Strike Online isn't a sequel either, it's just a branch off into the Asian market.Jenspm wrote:

Condition Zero runs on the Gold Source engine. I used to play it. Was very much a reskinned 1.6.
Jens man read the quote from Lombardi, we are talking about different games. CS Online and CS2 are different projects methinks.

I'd love to see a new CS. Better graphics, animations and a cover mode, please.
Oh, and more choices of weapons. I know there's already like 30, but they all seem very linear.
The good thing with Valve games is that the older versions never really get phased out (like with Console games). People still play CS 1.6 en masse.

Thats not CS2. Thats a completely seperate thing. The CS2 doug was talking about was something completely different. Something that doesnt exist yet.
Cover mode? I think a cover mode would just slow the game down, and css is a fast paced game.Poseidon wrote:

NeXuS is right, what CS needs is more maps, game modes (over on the PP forums they mentioned prison break style modes, and official VIP maps) and guns. I don't think a Gears/GTA or even Vegas style cover system would work well given the pace of the game.

Which games? Other FPS? In some cases yes it is slower, but can you honestly imagine cover and blind firing suiting CS?

Valve should take the TF2 approach to maps
they knew only 2 or 3 maps would be really popular, and all the other maps would just be there for 'all map servers', everyone still leaves when other maps appear.
Guns: its not that they need more, its just that they need something different for once, most of the sounds are still the same as well.
even though if they take out awps, 50% of players would leave cause they can't use it, the other half would go 'Yay! no fgts insta kill' and play for a week, and move on.
I dunno, just needs to be all new and have the same feel/gameplay. But I left CS a while ago so I'm not really bothered.

I was a huge cs player. I started back in 1.3 and my favorite version had to be 1.5. Source has a different feel to it. It almost feels like there was a tradeoff between recoil, and accuracy for better graphics. I loved how cs 1.6 felt compared to css.
So if they're was to be any big changes, I would want the game to not feel like all these newer games where gameplay is traded off for graphics. The game can look pretty as shit, but if I can't get my shots to register I won't eant to play it.

Am I the only one who feels that CS:S was miles better than 1.6? I hated the old one for all the idiots who played it. I can feel no massive difference between the two! I feel the better graphics massively helps the game, the recoil and bullet spread to me makes no difference.
no no no no NO!
Do not change CS:S at all. It is perfect as it is now, and any change/addition of weapons etc will fuck everything up. If Valve introduses cover or prone or nerfs anything (AWP included) or adds weapons, I will seriously cry. They'd ne ruining the best game ever.
Make a new CS, that's fine, just don't touch my sauce <3
(yes, I know this isn't the plan, I was aiming at the comments above)
