Counter-Strike 1.6 Updated
Post by Steve Farrelly @ 11:05am 16/07/09 | 13 Comments
Valve have updated Counter-Strike 1.6 with their usual Steam applied fixes. The update will apply next time you restart your Steam client and features the following:
    Half-Life Engine
  • Added -sys_ticrate command line option to allowed forced override of ticrate
  • Prevent more cases of server redirection
    • Counter-Strike/Condition Zero
  • Added -nobots option to allow forced override of bots on servers
So if you're still slogging it out in CS, restart your Steam client now to apply the update.

this might be a really silly question but -

are there still a lot of Aussie Servers running this game?

I take it that with all the updates they have put out (and continuing to put out) there must still be a large gaming base.

A quick search in Steam gave me over 850 servers.

(Assuming the "Location: Australia" filter works)

For those interested, here are some servers that generally have a good number of people playing 20 hours a day.

144.140.154.81:27015 Gamearena CS #05 dust2 32 player server
203.26.94.166:27015 Internode Warcraft 3 FT mod 32 player server
203.26.94.191:27015 Internode #09 GunGame mod 18 player server

These days most decent players don't play pub cs anymore, with most just scrimming with their team or playing organised pug games. #ipgn-comp #ipgn-comp2 & #ipgn-comp3 on gamesurge runs a bot that organises and runs pretty decent pug wars 24 hrs a day (teams are evened out based on player stats, anti cheat stuff is mandatory).

So if for any reason people still want to play the old cs, try some of those out.

oilrig was awesome. rushing as a T down to that vent at the start, leading to the CT's start zone rocked.

Yeah why do people only play office and dust, do those maps run better on more computers or something?

could it be (and it could be the caps* talking)
office, cause they are playing it at work in an office and are relieving stress or its a good scene for a hostage situation.
and
dust, cause of its middle eastern feel. thus rendering it relevant for todays wargames....

just watched wargames the movie the other day for the 1st time in years.
joshua ftw!!!!

maybe people who were leet on 1.6 but werent jackshit on 2 keep 1.6 alive.
