CS 1.6 Recreating CS 1.6 physics and movement: side-by-side longjump on de_nuke

17 Upvotes

A small progress update on the FPS game we’ve been working on.

One of our main goals is precisely reproducing CS 1.6 physics and movement so that the same inputs (key presses) result in the same exact movements.

Here’s a side-by-side test of the T-side longjump onto the rock on de_nuke.

CS 1.6 Looking for a 1.6 C4 skin (pumpkin candy basket)

Post image
66 Upvotes

*Photo is illustrative! The one im looking for was a similar but nicer backpack

So, I saw this skin within the last year that replaced the C4 as well as the C4 backpack. The backpack i remember clearly was a basket full of candy and I believe the C4 itself was a pumpkin.

I searched all the obvious skin sites and tried youtube but I can't locate it anymore. If anybody has seen it or something like it pls lemme know!

CS2 Discussion Help buying CS stuff for advent calendar

1 Upvotes

Hi, I am very confused about this game and need help. I am making an advent calendar for my boyfriend and wanted to buy some in game stuff for him. I know there's those boxes, skins, and weapons you can buy online but I don't know here to start. Do I need an account? Can I buy them as a gift or should I buy them the day he opens the calendar? I don't understand anything. Help please!

CS2 Discussion SOTB GAMEZONE | CS2 BIOHAZARD – OUTBREAK TONIGHT!

0 Upvotes

☣️ SOTB GAMEZONE | CS2 BIOHAZARD – OUTBREAK TONIGHT! 🧟

🔥 TONIGHT, 17 OCTOBER — 18:00–20:00!
Budapest time (CEST)

One moment, you’re holding the entrance together. The next, your teammate is hunting you.

🎮 Join through the CS2 console:
connect 45.59.170.252:27015

Pick your weapon, find a defensible position, and hold back the horde! Get infected, and the hunt changes sides: now you’re coming for the survivors. Bring your friends — tonight, both sides have something to fight for!

🏆 TWO SIDES. TWO SEPARATE TOP 3 LEADERBOARDS.
Both the zombie and survivor leaderboards offer:

🥇 TOP 1: 6000 CP
🥈 TOP 2: 3000 CP
🥉 TOP 3: 1500 CP

CP means in-game Career Credits. As a survivor, take down player-controlled zombies. As a zombie, spread the infection and catch the last survivor! The live HUD displays your score, rank, remaining time, and both TOP 3 leaderboards.

🛒 THE EQUIPMENT SHOP STAYS OPEN DURING THE EVENT!
Spend your existing CP and the CP you earn along the way on equipment at half-price shop rates. Magazine upgrades remain locked throughout the event.

🔫 M4A1-S: A 30-ROUND MAGAZINE DURING THE EVENT!
Choose it through either the native weapon menu or !guns: start with 30 rounds and reload back to 30 every time. All other weapons retain their stock magazine capacities.

🧟 Five zombie classes, custom models, and infection sounds.
📈 Persistent Career progression, 20 ranks, and Prestige.
🗺️ Workshop maps, map voting, and English/Hungarian menus.

Your event scores survive map changes and reconnects until the event ends. Ranked scoring requires at least two real players at round start — no bot farming.

🎬 Watch the gameplay!

📺 Streams: u/chriismk7 • u/feco9419

Quick start: !guns • !class • !career • !shop • !help
Language: !lang en / !lang hu

🌴 Sex On The Beach Community | SOTB GameZone
Don’t just watch the stream. Be part of it. See you tonight at 18:00 CEST!

CS2 Discussion CS2Escape - First Open Playtest | This Saturday 10:00 UTC

107 Upvotes

Hi all!

TL:DR:
First public playtest of CS2Escape, an extraction shooter in CS2
Date: October 17th Time: 10:00 UTC (12:00 CEST, 11:00 BST, 06:00 EDT, 03:00 PDT)
Available gameservers: EU (Warsaw), US East (NYC), Oceania (Sydney).
More gameservers will be added as interest allows - if you'd like a gameserver closer to you, feel free to request it. If there's enough people interested, we'll add it!
Website: https://cs2escape.com/
Discord: https://discord.gg/8AZQWRpWHE

A while ago I shared a project that I've been working on on this subreddit: CS2 Escape - an extraction shooter within CS2. Quite a few members showed interest, so I decided to share some exciting news: we're hosting the first public playtest this saturday, starting 10:00 UTC (12:00 CEST, 11:00 BST, 06:00 EDT, 03:00 PDT). The playtest session will last for 10 hours, during which access to the website and gameservers will be unlimited. When the playtest window is over, you'll no longer be able to start new raids, but you'll be able to complete ones you're already in. If you like extraction games, are interested in the project, or would just like to try out something cool that's happening in the community - please join us! You don't need to play for the full window - play however many raids you want. We'd truly greatly appreciate any and all feedback - this is the first time something like this is done in CS2.

If you'd like to participate, log in on our website (https://cs2escape.com/) when the playtest window opens, gear up for a raid and... do your best out there! You do not need to download any additional programs or games. Everything happens within the regular CS2. You'll be prompted to download 2 workshop assets the first time you connect (the map, and our addon containing our HUD, music and the like).

See you in raid, and good luck out there!

CS2 Discussion Toxicity-related bans become more frequent at higher skill levels, with Level 10 players receiving bans at 3.6 times the rate of Level 1 players.

Post image
11 Upvotes

In Season 9, we issued 447 toxicity bans per day. The data shows that the higher the skill, the more often accounts cross the line.

Light trash talk is allowed under the new policy, but abuse will still be punished regardless of level.

CS 1.6 The return of the KZ G.O.A.T. (topo on kz_synergy_x)

Hey!
Back in December topoviygus, the #1 CS 1.6 KZ player dropped almost 100 World Records in a special World Record release. He has been a #1 for over 5 years at this point and it seems that he will remain at the top for a long time.
This movie by chinese moviemaker godc, showcases topo's world record run on kz_synergy_x - the hard-extreme map, that over last 16 years has seen WRs from some of the most legendary players.
The edit itself is kept in a dark and intense atmosphere, and honestly it's my favorite one from godc!
