Counter-Strike Source review
Now that Counter-Strike Source has seen the light of day, the folks at Gotfrag have provided a detailed hands-on review.
A few notes.
- The physics updates make a real improvement to gameplay. Gotgrag notes that it may be possible for savvy players to get information by seeing how bodies are arranged, and thus make assumptions about how they died.
- Users of the AWP may loose their "green whore" moniker, as it seems it's actually useful for something besides camping.
- Flashbangs have a significant impact on both vision and hearing, and really disorients those affected by it.
- Smoke grenades now produce a black haze, and really make vision difficult by adjusting the brightness of your surroundings.
Overall impressions are that Source is an improvement over CS 1.6, and should continue to keep CS as one of the top skill games around.
