I bought a radeon 9800 pro and all I got was this crappy CS:CZ <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/sad-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

For the most, I just messed around with the thirdperson view.
If <b>you</b> would like to mess around with Third Person, just go to the console and type in "thirdperson". "cam_idealpitch <i>x</i>" moves the view up and down over and under your player. "cam_idealyaw <i>x</i>" moves the camera left and right around your player. "cam_idealdist <i>x</i>" move the camera towards or further away from your player. <i>x</i>= Number you put in. Have fun!

Despite no matter how well he adjusts his player or his thirdperson camera, he can't seem to get a believeable pose of his player that looks like he's peering around a corner (think MGS). The main problem being, if the upper torso turns, say, more than 80 degrees, the lower body will adjust with it so he's facing foward! This creates a very annoying problem.
How can <b>you</b> help Omegaman? Well, Omegaman is pretty sure he once saw a cvar that lets you set how far his player can turn around. If you find it or know it or find some alternate solution, he will....Well he'll probably say "thank you" and post a picture! <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->
ragdoll really isn't all that dodgy. for every 1 time you see it in a stupid pose, you see 50 poses that are just really, really cool and ultra realistic. screenshots don't really do it justice.
I doubt there'd be a command to help something like that, then again not many mods even have 9 way blending on playermodels, at least the playermodels don't animate like HI and such.

[All I've seen are some screenshots and a few videos...but:]
The game and physics look nice so far. Ragdolls seem much better than any other game I've seen (especially with the realism compared to Deus Ex 2/ Thief 3's Ragdolls.
The one thing that looks a bit weird is strafe jumping...it doesn't look like it should if someone jumps sideways..but whatever <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo--> .
That was in a Planet Half-Life video, touted as "7 minutes of action packed CS:S goodness" and should have been titled. "7 minutes of this guy who's terrible at computer games, has no idea how to make a cinemographic video in any sense of the word and is basically acting like a moron (throwing a grenade at two barrels, not watching the physics, moving around like he's having a seizure in spectator mode...); so you basically get to watch him camp for at least 5 minutes - which is longer than it took to download this file."
...really action packed like that.
Aside from the moron who captured the video, the game looks very nice ...except for that whole CS... 'realism' stuff going on.

Is it really different or more like the rainbow 6 flashbang effect?
I always thought the rainbow 6 style flashbang effect was the most realistic.
the sg550 sniper is no longer crappy!
it can actually hit!!
btw best is to shoot/push the tire down the tunnel as a decoy!
i love it, it's just like cs b5.2 on source
