There is a huge bug at the moment since the last 3 updates where you can double tap on certain weapons giving you an advantage. On some weapons it causes huge recoil and also for people who do multiple double/triple bursts in matches it just messes up the recoil now whereas before you could do proper timed bursts for headshots.

There are also bugs with sniper zoom/accuracy/movement (allowing people to run while scoped) & a known bug where nades can do more damage (exploitable as it’s not random).

Here is a video from youtube showing the AWP/Scout doubletap (yes both shots can register hits so it’s not clientside only).

The doubletap bug comes from the updates released on  23/07/2010.
An update came out today but does nothing to stop it.

After playing it for a few days I think it’s pretty good and time flies by so quickly. There are quite a lot of bugs tho.
I had read about all the tweaks for sensitivity, FOV & FPS tweaks on various forums so spent a few mins implementing these tweaks. 2hours later (yes I was annoyed to say the least) my sensitivity/FOV was set correctly.
The problem is there are different variables for sensitivity depending on what you are doing. There is Infrantry, Stationary Vehicle, Jeep & Air Sensitivity (4 Cvars for 1 thing) so it’s near impossible to get them all set the same as they all differ.

Once I got online I thought it was pretty nice graphics wise.
I don’t like how new players have the lesser weapons putting them at a HUGE disadvantage.
The whole stats system seems to make people grind for points (much like MMORPGs) and boast about them. People don’t actually care much tbh, games are about having fun & the whole epeen thing is pointless (will probably bring in so many cheating kids aswell).

The game seemed ok until I got a sniper rifle out and aimed directly at people (even close range) and only about 40% of the hits would register as hits.

I found some more tweaks about setting interpolation based on latency (my ping to the servers I’m on is 15ms)

On setting this it seemed even worse but I tried it for a few nights and then put it back to how it was.
The whole hitreg thing reminds me of playing quake2 with a 28k modem as you have to aim in front of people to actually hit them.

There is a new patch coming out which supposedly fixes a lot of bugs but I’m not sure if it will fix the hitreg.
A lot of people who play BF2 say the hitreg in BF2 is a lot better so I guess there is hope.

Over the past few nights I’ve seen at least 30people kicked by punkbuster for cheating and have also seen people blatently botting with names like headtest and headshoot.

Have to say I like a lot of the new characters, but the changes to some of the existing characters seem to break them. Cammy was one of my main characters before super and she just doesn’t do the damage she did before.
Also the whole pace of the game feels weird with some characters. eg: hitting cammy’s links online seems to be harder than hitting juri’s links online.
Slower characters really struggle aswell and seem to end up getting crossed up a lot.

Guile, Bison & Chun-li seem really strong in super.
Balrog is still quite strong as he doesn’t seem to have changed much.

Some of the new moves seem to change the game completely and I think moves where players can go from one side of the screen mid air to the other diagonally messes the game up slightly as you get people spamming these moves (eg: Adon & Guy).
One character who reminds me of zangief’s amazing grapple power, health and strength is T-Hawk with added air moves, he’s pretty hard to predict and often punishes with his grabs (which seem to come from nowhere).

When I got the game the first new character I tried was Dudley as I loved him on 3S but after playing online over the weekend I found him to be limited and sometimes slow. I moved onto Ibuki (another 3S char) who I think has massive potential due to the damage and combos.
Over the weekend I tried most of the characters including guile who seems amazingly strong now.

The most fun to play at the moment seems to be Juri as she has some cheeky moves and can bait everything including her ultra2. I still haven’t got used to her ultra1 but I think some players in japan will get hold of her and make some amazing combo’s from her ultra1.

To try to combat this, ESL released this server addon which forces players to use dxlevel 80 or 81. If a player tries to connect on 90 or 95 they will be unable to establish a connection. Also if they change dxlevel while ingame it will kick them.
You can run the addon with Zblock (zblock doesn’t protect against this bug yet)

The plugin can be downloaded from the ESL website.

Dudley’s Rolling Thunder looks amazing, hope he will be as good on this as he was on 3rd strike.

A few bugs and problems I have with it:

1. Crosshair Size: The crosshair size on high resolution is massive and you are unable to change this
2. Radar Size: The Radar is tiny on high resolution and hard to see difference in level players are on map
3. Movement: There is no bunnyhopping, no russainwalking & even duckjump feels wierd
4. Movement is too slow and you feel like a cripple playing it
5. Scaling: The maps seem to be scaled weird with certain parts of maps wide open (eg: window on dust2)
6. Recoil: seems similar to CS but not completely sure it is very controlled as sometimes even the 1st bullet is nowhere near crosshair
7. Restrictions on CVARs: Certain useful CVARs have been completely restricted and marked as cheats (eg: surround sound)

I remember trying out previous versions and thinking what a joke this was with all the bugs etc.
On trying 1.04 however I was surprised as it seems a lot more polished with some really nicely adapted maps which actually look pretty and a completely new HUD system.

After playing it for a few hours I was thinking it was pretty nice, after tweaking the cvars and recoding some of my scripts in my config I was away. There do seem to be a few bugs but it is still in BETA.

I haven’t played CS for ages (last time was before steam) but I’m pretty sure there was proper bunnyhopping involved and duckjumps (don’t seem to be on this mod) hopefully they will be adding this tho.

The thing which prompted me to look at this mod again was an email from ESL regarding a gather.

One really cool thing is that there is pop dog on train.

On taking it appart it seemed the problem was just that the plastic which makes contact with the button had worn away slightly (like <1mm).
After a slight adjustment it was all working but about 2x more sensitive than before (a fly could probably land on the button and set it off).

I have previously had 2 other Razer mice. The first was a Boomslang 1000, mine is a numbered one and is one of the first 2000 made.
I bought this back when I used to play quake2 around 1998. At the time it was an amazing mouse at 1000dpi on a rollerball design.
I then moved onto a cheap logitech, ms explorer v3, logitech mx500, logitech mx310, Razer Diamondback 1600dpi

I had some problems with integration with wordpress at first tho, especially trying to get a widget to work properly.
I have since got the Galleries to integrate perfectly using the picasa API (uses GData token). You can see this on the Gallery page.

I am still working on a widget which uses the RSS feed (similar to my flickr one).
