The following things I think should be fixed or removed entirely from CSS.

  1. Full Cash Servers (glares at EGO)
  2. Pistols being more reliable than most rifles
  3. Nightvision costing so much and being outright useless
  4. The AWP (wouldn't be a problem with default cash servers)
  5. Rifles' effective range being so low




 
Burst fire, and aim for the head. Or; this is something I learned from playing on those free weekends. Let someone go ahead of you, nothing screams security like a meatshield.

As for the Cash Servers, put a letter into the dropbox.
NightVision is just cool.
 
Don't like the game? Then don't play it. Problem solved

I prefer the game in the minority that plays default cash, unfortunately it doesn't pay to have default cash because players are desensitized to playing with all weapons available at all times, therefore will not join.

Bahah i love you Simon.


# Full Cash Servers (glares at EGO)
It's the servers choice to be full cash, and it for some people who aren't very good it evens out the game play as the 1337 players won't be the only people able to buy all of the weapons, come on whichever team in Highschool that has Pris will always have m249's!

<3 u Pris

# Pistols being more reliable than most rifles
This is a little generalized. The deagle is more powerful because it's actual bullets are larger and more powerful than most rifles, it also only has 7 shots. When it comes to other guns like the usp they are sometimes more efficient in that they have large magazines and do a considerate amount of damage to the torso. The p228 is the perfect mediator, as it does less damage when shot right at the stomach but shot in the limbs or the upper torso it does massive damage for a pistol.
The pistols were leveled out to be as evenly balanced and realistic as could be as to not have people raging about them ;)

# Nightvision costing so much and being outright useless
Go onto a server that is a night time map, without the map having lights everywhere. There is a zombie map that uses only light from outside, and the entire map is inside, around a setting of sunset. There are spots where it is totally black, but when you turn the nightvision on you can see clearly. I will probably make a few maps that have to do at night which are good for night vision, the problem is right now there aren't enough maps that are nightvision accessible. It costs a lot because the price of Real Life nightvision military grade is expensive.

I understand this argument however, if some night time maps were released then i think you would change your opinion ;)

# The AWP (wouldn't be a problem with default cash servers)
As much as i hate how people OWN with the awp *cough*Jimmy Kudo*cough* i like it as a part of the game. It keeps people from nonstop rushing and devastating each other in the same spots, keeping the long choke points at a strategic value rather than spray n pray every time. Now when EVERYONE awps on a map like let us say cs_crackhouse, it gets annoying. A limit is what i like with the awp, 2 per team limit is what i usual prefer.

This argument makes sense to me, getting shot in the foot and being killed by it sucks ~.~

# Rifles' effective range being so low

Now this is debatable. The ak-47 when aimed correctly and shot as a single fire is dead on accurate at any range, but when it is shot burst style the accuracy quickly degrades. The M4a1 is accurate even when bursting the shots, yet without silencer it is not too accurate (more accuratethan the AK still) and the power is greatly reduced when it has the silencer. The Galil is just awesome, okay if it is long distance and you miss that single shot you are done, but if you get that shot its always perfect. The Famas is one of the most accurate weapons in the game, right below the Awp and scout. Small clip annoys me though.


I understand your ideas on these pieces but if you look at the reasons they are there it sort of makes sense. Night time maps are perfect for Night Vision. Awp helps reduce the amount of spray n pray at long distant choke points. Rifles range can't be perfect ;)

If they maybe took away the ability to kill from a foot shot with the awp, added some night time maps, extended the range of rifles slightly, and reduced the damage of the p228 and the deagle a little, then it would be perfect for gameplay on a stable basis.

1. Why would a pistol be "more reliable than a rifle?" and just get a deag, its better than most of the primaries.
2. Nightvision is basically pointless, unless your pro and run around with it to be different.
3. The awp is lame all together and very OP'd (but it gets better on default cash severs)
4. Range can be a problem, probably just a balancing thing for the game.. just break out the scoot and you win :)

I'll be honest, i do that all the time on Dust2 xD My crosshairs being light blue are hard to see so i turn ye ole night vision on, it makes terrorists darker too.

1. Thats exactly what I mean, its better than most primaries. Being deadly accurate and high powered.
3. Agreed.

In a different game I would make it impossible to die from foot\leg shots, maybe bleeding out from that area if its shot enough.

In real life if you are shot with a rifle as powerful as what the AWP is supposed to represent in the leg or arm the shockwave will stop your heart and kill you.

Its not even the 1 hit kill thing that bothers me about the awp lol, just quick scoping and people jumping around corners and getting you.. -_- but i tend to deal with it, not a huge problem

Well in real life the AWP (real life counterpart Accuracy International AWM) is 48 inches long end to end and weighs 15 pounds empty, making it too big to just walk and shoot with.

I wouldn't mind if eGO took away full cash. It makes trying out new weapons worthwhile that way. With full cash, pretty much everyone uses the AK/M4. :glare:
