I had a blast playing the beta, looks like it's turning out really well. Coming from someone who religiously played CS 1.6 way back in the day. It's definitely looking to deliver in just about all ways... Except for not having spray paint.... D: Why did they take out SPRAY PAINT!? Hopefully that'll be put back in at launch, or some point down the road.

Console gamers would abuse it with offensive and pornographic material. You know it to be true. It was done even in PC game. There is no way to moderate it in a console world though so they played it safe. It will likely come to the PC edition or add in a symbol/emblem/tag system at some point.

Snookies124271d ago

Eh, they could have just had default ones for console. Shoot, I'd even take only default ones for PC as well over not having it at all. Always made me happy to spray a big green smiley face over a vanquished foe...

DeadlyFire4270d ago

Well they could patch it into the game. I would like it as well even if it wasn't allowing custom ones. Valve could make even new ones with micro-transactions to buy or something as well if they chose to do that.

raytraceme4271d ago

I really dont get how a game like this can't run 60fps on consoles. OTH Move Support yea!!!

DeadlyFire4270d ago

Well considering the engine is as old or older than the hardware. It should be more than capable of 60 fps.

4 or 5 players in a game is not players frantically dusting it off

Jin_Sakai208d ago

We all know that videogamer.com went to each and every Xbox 360 owners house to watch them frantically dust off their 360s.

Vits208d ago

I mean it is a 1000% growth in the player-base. /s

mandf208d ago

Enough to write an article though. N4g new owners are insulting us for click revenue

Vits208d ago

@mandf

Nothing to do with new owners. N4G has always been the trashcan for game news and discussion.

northpaws208d ago

I love video games so much that I never have the time to replay the old one that I have finished, my backlog has only gotten bigger and bigger. I don't get how some people can play one game for years (except for mmorpg)

mandf208d ago

It's an exaggeration to the extreme. A way making an exclusive seen grander than it is.

Profchaos208d ago

Some people do I know someone who only ever plays dune 2000 which is rarely but still

RedDevils207d ago

Those Fifa or COD players do that every years.

Inverno208d ago

Wonder why they've never ported this game over to last Gen and now current Gen. This game would be pretty popular right now, I think.

I have about 260 hours on csgo and have not spent a single penny on any of the microtransactions. You can still enjoy it since it's not pay to win.

S&box devs already have access to Source 2 and have done for a while.

DOTA 2 was Source 2 but hardly anyone noticed/cared because it wasn't one of the Valve games most wanted. L4D3 was scrapped because Source 2 wasn't ready and buggy.

Half Life Alyx has been the only official Source 2 game that people notice so far.. The engine still looks pretty good graphically, but it looked far more impressive back in 2014 when the leaked plantation level that was rebuilt on Source 2 (for L4D2) was shown. Too bad it took this long for Valve to do anything with the engine.. with all the money they have I have to wonder what happened. Even a smaller dev studio could've produced stuff within a couple of years.

Not sure why this hyped tbh, it’s only in updated engine. Same maps, same game. So long as it’s top of steam listings, it’ll be here for evermore.
