Are hostages much better in CS:S? I expect that they don't fly up walls, for a start...I was wondering if they applied any of the sqaud AI stuff in HL2 to the hostages.

They follow nicely. Also worth noting: Bullets now have exit/enter holes. If you shoot a hostage, you can see where you shot them :o.. And It leaves an impressive mark behind them. Also, the vending machine in office... actually vends bottles, which can be shot and thus thrown around <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

bah its crap now. 2day is the day that cs dies and all the pro players will hate it soooo much. If only some pro input had been introduced to cs:s it would of been soooo much better but no!
anyway i dont care i hate cs now, it took up 3 yrs of my life when i could of been out with my friends having a good time and staying fit!
Can any of the self-proclaimed "pros" kindly explain to us why the game sucks now? I've played it a bit, and while I noticed that I really suck at it now, I didn't find the game to be that different.

Or is it the fact that the HSF is just kind of casually sitting at the bottom of the case...
Been playing with Medium-ish settings and have been mostly satisifed with the framerates(30-60 FPS). I suspect the video card is the bottleneck. Source definitely beats the hell out of Doom 3 though as far as performance is concerned, it's not even a competition.
Upon looking at all the shots in the thread, I must say, I am impressed. CS:S Full shows a ton of more interactions w/ the environment and also even MORE graphical detail than the beta did. Especially all the computers, w/ actual pics of the mobos and whatnot. And being able to specifically see that you're shooting an ATI card or a SB Live... Awesome.
