Well, I'm sure this is going to take some modification, but I think it's worth looking in to.

I was reading a post in the Pictures forum and I noticed something I've been thinking about for a while for CSS.

"Place a camera and watch it on your HUD."

This should, I think, be implemented on CSS.

There are endless possibilities with doodads for CSS. Think we could mod the CSS mod like the old WC3 mod for CS and put some of these into the game.

I was also thinking about more grenades. EMPs to disable certain guns possibly, etc etc. Maybe change some of the immobile vehicles to mobile vehicles and create a map around them. An escape map for CT's possibly where the APC can only take so much damage before it explodes. CT's could be outside and inside.

I'm not much of a programmer, but I plan on extending my college and going into it. But, that's atleast another year down the road, and I'd like to see this before then. Think it's at all possible?

Some more ideas:
Laser Sights for the M4.

Silencer for the scout to get rid of that ugly flash of light. (This would probably cause balancing issues though.)

Choosable bullets. Armor Peircing, etc.

A better voice comm.

More breachable doors and etc. Doors that open and can be destroyed as well. This will definately put use to the pump shotty.

Better Night Vision along with possible Thermal Vision and maybe even those XRay goggles.

That's about it for me...

Gimme some feedback...

All the gadgets from james bond, splinter cell etc. Maybe only down side would be they might be a distraction taking away from the purity of CS. Also, gadgets are better for slower paced game. Might not really have time for them in the thick of a firefight.

Some of these things have been incorporated very well into maps inthe past and I think that is a better way to include "doodads". I have seen APCs, security cameras, security and blast doors (switch or one war). There was one great custom maps where the assaulting CTs could choose to cut the power making the house completely dark and forcing Ts to spend money on NVG.

It would be good to see the magnetic crane from HL2 make an appearance, or having an underwater entrance to a building.

I like it, reminds me of The Specialists. In fact, I'd like it if more guns (especially for T) could have silencers/laser sights for an additional cost. If no one has played TS, the menu was like CS:S in its setup, except that each weapon had its own menu. So, after opening the buy menu You'd press 1 for pistol, 4 for Deagle, then there'd be a list with equipment. Not every gun had everything, and I'm not saying we should have scoped Deagles, but I like the idea of silencers and lights being optionally bought for more guns. Also, they could be toggled on or off.
Pokerface mentioned that HL2 (stupidly) does not support SPEEX, a codec being used on NS for this. However, if a plugin/update comes out or there's any other way I fully agree.
Aye, like Rainbow 6. Add a breach charge to the equipment menu so people camping doors could get blown away before entering rooms. Could be very useful on havana.

Some of the other stuff you said is...iffy. The goggle combinations make it so you would be spending too much time focusing on NV/thermo/X-Ray(?) than playing. For better bullets, I'd just say buy a high caliber gun. Tracers would be fun, but most other bullets mods are unrealistic.
