We'll probably see it more likely on the 17th (Friday) seeing as we're a bit ahead in time compared with the rest of the world, but does anyone here still love playing Counterstrike? I used to play it a LOT, (since beta 7 I think) but after every update and only slight gameplay tweaks, it's really feeling like playing the same old game. Some nice changes like higher-poly models, 3d map were nice. Sure, if it ain't broke, don't fix it, but I hope that Valve are making a lot of progress with Counterstrike 2.. I think just by having an engine with dynamic lighting would be enough to create enough change in the gameplay.
Some of the changes they have made are interesting and will change how the game is played a little (more guns, riot shield, not seeing how many of the enemy is still alive etc) I'm just a little 'ho-hum' about it all at the moment. It's still a great game - relatively easy to get into, lotsa practise required to master. Just like Street Fighter 2 was when it came out. But after so many sequels and years of that game, I'm really sick of that as well. [:)] I guess I should just start playing other types of games.
I wanna try Natural Selection out soon - it sounds very interesting. I was wondering when RTS/FPS would meld one day.. There are a few of those types of games in the works too.
i enjoyed playing it every once in a while at a lan..SOF2 imo is much more fun...
