comment #7 JRules I am a wild monkey! 4:28 pm pdt - 4/28/04	i can't even connect to steam! Valve get your act together and let me download!

comment #8 EtErNiTyU 4:29 pm pdt - 4/28/04	hmm i wonder how you actually turn on the solid radar function

comment #9 sushi 4:31 pm pdt - 4/28/04	Cliffe answers that one for ya: "To use the new solid radar, simply to go Options > Multiplayer > Advanced > Radar Type."

comment #10 BBG Weiter, weiter ins Verderben Wir müssen leben bis wir sterben 4:31 pm pdt - 4/28/04	I guess I'll be shelling out $30 for CZ now, but I wonder how I'll be sure that if I format, that I won't have to pay $30 again. Will there be some sort of record kept, like, it remembers what accounts have payed for games, so if you re-install, once you log in, it already knows you bought that game before. Also, is the p_ump45 and P_sig550 error fixed in CZ?

comment #11 bullet_head 4:31 pm pdt - 4/28/04	Oh come on people, let it load, it will take its time as a lot of people are trying to update at once.

comment #21 wheelow 5:01 pm pdt - 4/28/04	Probably because the planet is trying to download off their servers. And hi flakman. You know who I am.

comment #22 FH_PhoenixFlame 5:03 pm pdt - 4/28/04	I WANT update! laggzor

comment #23 XTRMNTR 5:05 pm pdt - 4/28/04	Edited by XTRMNTR @ 7:09 pm pdt on 4/28/04 Bah, same. Can't update. Guess I'll try later. Rizz, wanna update us when Steam is back to normal..?

comment #24 Sonus 5:12 pm pdt - 4/28/04	So let me get this straight. If you have CS: CZ, and you play online with people who don't have CZ, you will have the updated models, textures, sounds, etc? or are these updates for offline/bot play only?

comment #25 EtErNiTyU 5:13 pm pdt - 4/28/04	the update is quite wierd... all the crosshairs are BIGGER.... dunno if they changed the recoil stuff, feels a little different and the solid radar is ugly IMO

comment #26 Gameshot911 Waka Waka Waka 5:13 pm pdt - 4/28/04	lol steam is bogged down again....well i guess this is better than having to wait days before you could update cs with a full new version...boy that was fun..

comment #27 uhaulball 5:13 pm pdt - 4/28/04	sushi wrote.. Cliffe answers that one for ya: "To use the new solid radar, simply to go Options > Multiplayer > Advanced > Radar Type." umm, bs? its not there and i updated.

comment #28 pinchet lobstar !! 5:14 pm pdt - 4/28/04	uhaulball wrote.. umm, bs? its not there and i updated. use cl_radartype 1 in game

comment #29 uhaulball 5:14 pm pdt - 4/28/04	but me being very very smart found out that u can use the command cl_radartype 1 after screwing around in console.

comment #30 Bokuho My whining. Reply to it and I'll kill your mother 5:17 pm pdt - 4/28/04	So they finally got round to doing the solid radar? Well thank fook for that. But what of these "various other improvements"?

comment #31 Sonus 5:18 pm pdt - 4/28/04	Eh... people posting so fast my question was left in the dust... (#24)

comment #32 Ava3ar The 3rd God of War!! 5:20 pm pdt - 4/28/04	omg loving radartype 1, its the georgeous, no more looking at sky/floor to find out if that person about to shoot me is a team mate

comment #33 Glamador 5:22 pm pdt - 4/28/04	w00t...all i can say...i cant even connect...ill do it tomorrow.

comment #34 Crims0nX 5:24 pm pdt - 4/28/04	Solid radar looks like it was done in paint. New headshot icon is neato because you can see what gun they used, but looks a lil' odd. Bigger crosshairs actually don't seem that bad, seems less random. The sniper rifle crosshairs are so much better!

comment #35 uhaulball 5:26 pm pdt - 4/28/04	WTF DOES ANYONE NOT NOTICE THE HUGEEEEE Crosshairs?! and the retarded looking hs sprites? is this just me?!?!

comment #36 masterren 5:26 pm pdt - 4/28/04	Sonus wrote.. So let me get this straight. If you have CS: CZ, and you play online with people who don't have CZ, you will have the updated models, textures, sounds, etc? or are these updates for offline/bot play only? CZ multiplayer is only with other CZ players, not with CS1.6 players. Therefore, all CZ players will have the same models/textures/sounds/stuff.

comment #37 uhaulball 5:26 pm pdt - 4/28/04	the sniper rifle corsshairs are like the old ones in 1.5 . are u that newb?

comment #38 Zp3eD 5:28 pm pdt - 4/28/04	valve fkn sucks, as for the cs update "other improvements" mean gaying it up more.

comment #39 HowlinMadMurphy 5:30 pm pdt - 4/28/04	The "Various Other Improvements" apparently include making the crosshair ridiculously large. Check this screenshot: http://www.jpgupload.com/upload/Redrum/...ne_cz0000.bmp And thats crouching with the Glock, by the way. I wouldn't exactly call that an improvement. Lots of people are flipping out about it in the Steam forums now. It looks stupid, I hope they fix it. It appears that would make it difficult to aim.

comment #40 uhaulball 5:31 pm pdt - 4/28/04	yea i am severly disappointed. the crosshairs look like a joke. its like the size of the crosshair of cl_dynamiccrosshair 1 when jumping. old : -- -- new: --- --- and thats only the mp5... look at the mac-10, its disgusting. and the headshot sprite is way to huge too.. like wow im playing a game do i really care about a hs made by someone, it shouldnt be that big!
