Your impression on CS:SOURCE

[TomWithTheWeather]

OMG!!!1 FyISicS!!! SH1nyStUFFFs !!!!!!7

About time the HL/CS community caught up. The HL/CS fanatics finally have a pretty looking game to scream about. :wink: (Disclaimer: Sarcastic comment - DD approved)

But seriously, it does indeed look good. I've never been much of a fan of CS, but I'll have to give it a retry when I find it on the shelf. I'm looking forward to playing HL2 though; looks like it'll be a fun game like the first.

man that fucking small pic of DoD I saw on steam look very bad imo

[skdr]

Its oooooooooold picture.

[Minos]

well if its old theres no sense to put it on the DoD:source steam frontpage, since u need to have a great impression to be keen about it

Valve isn't very good at marketing. They like to use 2-3 old images for packages and other product media.

Gotta love that plant though~

I saw somebody playing it here in the office and saw screenshots and it didn't look that amazing, but in the end CS rather focuses on gameplay than fancy graphics. I think HL2 will look a lot better.

Just a question, is DOD Source almost like CS Source? With new models, maps and such? If not it would sux cox bigtime 10times

The overall mapping is rather basic, at some points, overly simple a la HL1 and unimpressive and even newbish. Textures and models are cool. Brushwork and overall design is too damn simple and unimaginative.

For example this in one BUTT UGLY area!

The rooms in de_italy are still as undetailed, flat and unrealistic.

I assume CS:S is just like CS compared to other mods like NS. Simple and modest. The amateurs are once again about to beat the pros.

Nevertheless, CS:S is cool, but could be a lot better.

[st0lve]

what map is that?

[-Stratesiz-]

de_chateau. The texture gallery map from the old cs.

They have great texture artists and modelers. The mapping just isn't good enough compared to the rest.

And what is it with these pointy cliffs that are also seen in HL2?

I suppose they cool but they are just the opposite of realistic.

im glad they dont waste their time on the same old maps. They cant do much with it anyway cuz they dont wanna mess the gameplay, theyre not gonna change layout or geometry or add giant open areas with the old maps. That kinda stuff u will see in the new maps or custom ones with the next update i bet. Btw wrong forum DD!!!

[-Stratesiz-]

It doesn't change the fact the the area in the first pic looks incredibly unprofessional.

[RD]

facts never change stratty!!

I think cs_office was one of the best conversions. I didn't really like the original one since the theme was too contradictory and tasteless. Bad colors and stuff. It feels harmonic now.

Chateau was a lousy map to begin with.
