great article

nice work cubik ... remember, the human army is better than your army

really nice mate :P
wp ;)

great article :)

yes your right, cs:s is spectator friendly, but its not competitive. PK does look good to watch and is competitive to play.

Great job man, I really liked this atricle :)
#5 Here's what Andy 'gellehsak' Ryder has to say about PK:
[quote]In PainKiller, there is no will to learn how to play a map, no will how to learn to move, no will how to learn to comeback, and a very low skill ceiling. Why? Because you have a spawn weapon that does 200 damage and up to 250 damage, movement that takes one minute of running around to get down perfectly (at least, all that you need in the game), and maps that don't exactly endorse control, but rather, whoever can rush the gold armor areas at X time, since the timer gives you the time when it spawns, and the ga areas are such a burden when it comes to having someone just go through teleporters rocketjumping to gain instantaneous speed. Sometimes games just feel like a free for all, or just whoever can hit the most stakes on the map without even needing to control any weapons or armors.[/quote]
I kinda agree with him :)

#5, In what way it's any less competitive than original CS? And please dont say maps, because they will be released.

hitboxes are kinda bad cubik :)

#8, not with correct settings, as it has been mentioned in 3968523968340968 threads in 50 different sites :)

but if you play on any random server, you wont have those settings being used.

cubik, yes it is maps, not because the lack of them, because of the design, i mean look at inferno, so many rooms, and new passages ways, so much clutter and junk, imagen SK or NiP losing a round because they got stuck behind a chair or bounced off a barrel. its just unprofessional. if people think 1.6 is random, good god source is twice as bad.

#11, I have never seen anyone get stuck on something like that. And you can always break the barrels :)

#10, Tickrate isnt everything you know :)
These are the settings I use, and I have never encountered hitbox problems:
cl_interp 0.01
cl_interpolate 0
rate 25000 (15000-20000 on laggy servers)
cl_cmdrate 101 (75-85 on laggy servers)
cl_updaterate 101 (65-85 on laggy servers)
cl_smooth 0
voilá! :)
