hmmm. well, couple reasons. The biggest is that every server I ever join is usually full of really poor players, and its just too easy to go 30 and 5 or whatever outlandishly high score. Then I get called a hacker, and what not. Secondly, those bullet ricochet noises entirely annoy me... they seriously make me want to plug my ears. In a firefight, it just goes crazy around you. They are ok in DOD, because concentrated firefights dont happen as offen as they do in cs, due to the way that teams spawn. But when you get a full server of players meeting at various checkpoints in a map in cs, its makes me want to toss my headphones off. thirdly, there also seems to be a sound caching issue in the client, because new sounds tend to make the game "skip" consistently. I have never had this issue in previous hl/cs versions, and have heard others talk about it in servers as well. I have a high end pc, amd2100+, 512megs of ram, geforce ti 4600, soundblaster live. so in other words, for various reasons, playing 1.6 isnt all that enjoyable for me, a person who has played since a leaked beta1. ; ( kev _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux
