Counter-Strike 1.6 updates
-
Valve will update Counter-Strike .
An important update will be Silent-Run. This technique that has been used for years will be erased.
So , Silent-Run will now make normal sound .
Alfred Raynolds said : "You can no longer exploit the game to prevent footstep sounds, the technique itself still works, so you can do crazy duck walking if you want"
In my opinion , this is the most important update .
There are also other updates :
- Avatars are displayed on the scoreboard
- Enabled crosshair selection
- Got hltv running with the beta
- Fixed A2S_RULES not returning data
- Added "-noaff" option for dedicated servers so it won't bind to CPU 0 on windows
- Fixed "Steam validation rejected" error on connect
- Added "bannedcfgfile" cvar so you can control the file written to by the writeid command
There are rumors that it will be an update that will allow CS to be played only with 32 bits. I repeat : only rumors.
Updates confirmed :
- Avatars you can only see avatars if you use 1024 x 768 resolution in cs or above

Hahahaha yes! 1.6 is still where it's at and steam has finally come to grips with it!
As much as crouch running or whatever you want to call it is frowned upon by CAL and US, it plays a serious role in tournaments held around the globe, and this change will piss a lot of players off. That being said, I like it, crouch hopping wasn't an intended aspect for gameplay, its an exploit tactic by nature. -

That's because you've never been able to do it. -

I found it too much of a pain in the ass to bother.
