Just getting that update now. Good to hear they are still working on the gun mechanics.

I've been enjoying the inclusion of the new game modes as part of the actual game, but the demolition gun flow chart frustrates me. It would be better at the bottom of the screen instead of in the centre of the players view, better yet make it disappear by clicking or have a smaller HUD version.

I'm guessing they haven't fixed the sounds of the guns yet?

Didn't GON give out 25 beta keys? Considering they did that last week I have not seen many players in the game in the 6 or so hours of it I played in the last week. I thought oh yeah with that many keys id see at least half of them in a server but no.

You mean you expected people who joined GON for the primary purpose of trying to get a beta key, to actually play on GON servers?

No one cares about CS anymore.............VALVE have been so caught up in the success of STEAM thay have watched the gilded boat that made them what they are slip by - to afraid to release 'Half Life' episode 3 cos its probably not up to todays standard, allowed 'Day of Defeat' to dissapear off the map when it could have been what COD is today - and now they think they can steal the show with a new CS..............they might just stand a chance if they include a few optional 'funny hats' (jokes)...............the fact that there are only a handfull of posts on this thread says it all
CS = WHATEVER

...play on GON servers?...

How do you get to the GON servers? My server browser doesn't pick them up and I tried adding the IP addresses from the other thread to fav servers and that failed too. That being said, there are very few active Aus servers at all. I would have thought that the people who bothered to play the beta would at least be relatively active.

What happened to part two of the cs go beta key giveaway?
