Just days after being accepted to be a beta tester for Valve, I checked out the usual Counter-Strike news sites and noticed that there has been a sudden outburst of CS 1.4 previews. There seem to be some cool new features and bug fixes which have been reported by various sites, but they only listed some basic information - I'm going to put it all together into one and see what's what.

No information here is confirmed, but I've only included information which has been said by more than one tester, so hopefully it is all true. When Valve send me CS1.4 beta, I shall be able to confirm the information here.


Bodies stay

When you kill someone, their body will now stay on the ground for the rest of the round. The good side to this is realism - it's more realistic to run around a map with a couple of dead bodies on the ground and it will allow people to work out where someone has been shot from a bit easier. The disadvantage would be a possible frame rate impact. Imagine a 14, 16 or even 32 man server where dead bodies stay on the ground. Half-Life isn't the best engine to use powerful graphic card features how it is, so the burden on the processor will increase due to so many bodies being on the floor. It may also be distracting, however most people should be able to adjust to this.


Bunny hoping

Bunny hoping is finally sorted out for good - although it was more or less dealt with from recent releases, Valve have made a significant change to the speed of the client when jumping. When the client jumps several times in a row (i.e. to try and bunny hop or gain speed etc), their speed will decrease a lot. This finally sorts out bunny hopers which a lot of people hate, however time will tell if people can get around it somehow or if it affects the general gameplay - jumping up several crates or jumping out the way of incoming enemy, but from what I've read this is not affected.


Hit boxes tweaked

Several sites have reported that the hit boxes have been tweaked further and are near-perfect now. I don't have an issue with the current ones, but any improvement is always welcomed.


Camera views

When you are dead you can now watch from above the map or first person view in the style of HLTV. This should make admining and spotting a cheater easier and you can see where they are aiming a lot easier.


Watch your own death

A couple of beta testers have confirmed you now see your own death (scarey huh?) - the camera changes to an external view as you die so you can see it and will auto change to follow the person who just killed you. Quite an interesting addition, not one anyone had expected I think, but is a nice touch. People often wonder where the heck they were shot from, now we can find out.


Bomb related changes

When a terrorist is planting the bomb, they can no longer move. This will help prevent people planting the bomb in awkward parts of the map which is a good thing in my opinion. If the bomb is dropped by a player, a dot flashes on the radar - I can see this being a very handy feature and will improve team play. Lastly, when the bomb is picked up by a player, it tells everyone on screen (just like it does when it had been dropped). Again these are minor changes but will help people work in teams and locate the bomb with their team mates.


Recoil changes

One important area which people don't often like having changed is the recoil of weapons. Many testers have mentioned that the recoil is now a fair bit higher when moving, and is a lot more accurate when standing still or crounching on the ground.

Some players will find this annoying - it will make fast attacks (attacking rounds on CO rules for example) more difficult as the attacking team will have to keep stopping and starting if they want to get some solid hits into the defending team. This will make publics better though as it will help stop DM'ing (frag hunting).
As with some of the other major changes, time will tell whether this will improve play generally or just put people off - personally I think it will improve play (slow things down a bit), but it will take people time to get used to it.


Hostage changes

The hostages are a part of CS which has been completely abandoned for many releases - when was the last major changes make to the hostages? A few things which need to be sorted out are: AI - how the hostages move is currently very poor. They run on the spot, get stuck on walls, hover in mid air and jerk all over the screen. This is why so little clan matches now take part on hostage rescue maps - they get stuck too often. The AI of some of the current bots out there are far beyond the AI of the hostages themselves at the moment. Skins - the hostage skins are out dated, hence a lot of people now customise their skins to make them look better.
I have only come across one change made to the hostages so far mentioned by the beta testers, which is the improvement of the movement - they should now jerk around on the screen less. But does this mean they will still get stuck on walls and such?

Probably.


Client movement

The two main ways of walking (and making no sound) is to either use the walk key or tap the forward key. Personally I like to tap the forward key as it gives you more control over the movement and speed, however in CS1.4 they have made it so you have to use the walk bind key if you don't want to make any sound. A bit annoying, but people can adapt.

Also, when a player falls from a height their screen will now shake sideways a little.


Valve's anti-cheat measures

There has been no new information about Valves anti-cheat measures.


Misc changes

There have been a few misc changes which won't affect the gameplay as such:

- The bomb and VIP text is now a different colour.

- The weapon names have been changed from real ones to made up ones.


Summary

This is looking to be a top release by Valve and the Counter-Strike team. There are some significant features, tweaks and updates which will directly affect gameplay, and some which are just nice touches. I think Valve and the CS team are finally seeing CS as a professional played game and also are tackling the ever growing community of cheaters, but is it too late?

Time will tell..

klingt tatsächlich so als hätten sie dieses mal sogar etwas verbessert und nicht nur verschlechtert....

Na ganz super.

nix gejammere, es is einfach seit, 6.5 glaubich wars, konsequent schlechter geworden (mitm neuen netcode damals) ... 5.2 war immer noch die beste wie ich immer sag

aber was solls, nachdem ichs mit 1.3 entgültig aufgegeben hab werd ich cs mit 1.4 vielleicht nochmal ne chance geben, das mit den more-recoil-while-running find ich gut, es is sowieso viel zu viel deathmatch style gespielt worden - des mit den positionen verraten is allerdings wirklich a bissl unpraktisch für clanwars - obwohl da sowieso fadetoblack des gscheitste is... naja, mal sehen wies mit der cheat protection ausschaut...

ok, gebe zu, nicht alles gelesen zu haben:

Wann kommt CS4?
