Re: CS_Office
Sorry if this is a dupe - I don't see what I originally tried to post; probably hit review and then forgot....
Anyway:

No, I can get a firefight anywhere. I can only get the above _here_. Just as good is suckering the cops off on a wild goose chase and then, in blissful silence, (after perhaps capping a lookout) the "beep - beepbeep-beep" and "the bomb has been planted" and those putzes are nowhere around! It's great stuff, the best.

Re: CS_Office
Poker's point wasn't that firefights are what make our server unique.
You can't, typically (glory stories are great, but they're glory stories for a reason), have what makes our server unique without the firefights.Steam Community?

Darkilla: In short, NS is pretty much really fast chess. With guns. Apophis: I haven't seen anyone say that SM's are better than non-SMs. Nordbomber: This is THE first server I've seen where either side can comeback from out of seemingly nowhere with the right teamwork. en4rcment: I have NEVER experienced the type of gameplay that I have found here. Nightly I am amazed at the personalities and gaming talent. Zephyr: Apophis is clearly a highly sophisticated self-aware AI construct that runs on a highly modified toaster oven in Wyzcrak's basement.

Re: CS_Office
I didn't think he had a point beyond what he actually said, which is what I quoted and what I disagree with - "Firefights make or break the game" - well, I don't think so, and you're right, they don't make the TG servers unique, precisely the opposite. Like I said, I can get a firefight anywhere, and that's about _all_ I'll get. Subterfuge, diversions, co-ordinated assaults - that's what makes or breaks the game, the existence of over 10,000 servers catering to fragmonkeys notwithstanding. Originally Posted by Wyzcrak

Re: CS_Office
Firefights are what make CS:S fun. You're supposed to kill the other team while fighting to complete the objectives. And hell yes, the majority of cs_ maps end because of a team being wiped out.
The game has quite a few guns in it... it's almost as if killing the other team with your gun was intended. My suggestion for anyone who wants to play a game where you rescue hostages without shooting is to pick up a copy of Splinter Cell or Metal Gear Solid. Gotta love the stealth missions. |:
Smartassishness aside, I think the real issue with office isn't whether or not the objective is made impossible. You can grenade the shelved room and knock the cabinets down to block the closest entrance and exit to the front hostages, but it would be a giant pain in the ass to knock cabinets in front of the door leading to the main spawn area from the meeting room. I'm 50/50 on the issue. Getting the hosties out might not be impossible, but it can easily take you 30-45 seconds to get one unstuck from the fallen cabinets (as killing the hosties is against the rules, right?).
All in all, the CT's still have to get the hostages in the back to win via rescue, so as long as the T's are all playing by the rules (guard the hostages), one side or the other will most likely be dead before the hostages even leave the office. It sucks for the CT's, but it makes me feel glittery inside given the T's situation in Italy. d;

Re: CS_Office
I realize that this was an attempt at humor, but I just wanted to point out that here at TacticalGamer, the firefights are only a small part of what makes CS fun... Originally Posted by tekunogekai

Re: CS_Office
This is such a simple change too. The reason things set to bounce you off is because CS actually started out not using HL2 physics. Now it's setup properly and they need to update all the maps! Originally Posted by grey

Re: CS_Office
Yup, Vulc is right. If you will notice in de_inferno, not the dark one, that you can jump on top of barrels and stuff. You will not fall through, and it will not bump you off...
The map is the issue here, not the engine.
