So Then What Does One Do When........

[RedDevil]

several things need to occur

1. people need to realize this is a NEW game.. the EXE has been changed, it is a new game .. end of story

2. people need to quit trying to compare the old and new versions as if they should co exist in complete harmony. It is apples and oranges.

3. The old game still plays, simply insert your CD and play it, but don't try this on a VISTA equipped PC.

4. The new version requires one to practically forget all they have learned from the old system in order to play it properly. Why people cannot fathom this simple factoid is beyond me.

5. Nobody is making you play this game, or even purchase it. You made a choice to try it, so now you must embrace the changes to your gaming styles to fully enjoy the product, otherwise it is simply another poor decision of funding allocation.

6. The realization that this game is not going to be the same as the old version. Grasp change, overcome, preserve, adapt

7. The assault rules are optional, USE THE FRIGGIN OPTIONS if you can't handle running with the big dogs who like it with meat AND potatoes. Quit howling at the moon over something that is there with choice.

I know... all to simple... but the truth is, the NEW version of CS kicks ass and it's a whole different ball game to master.
So for all the time spent discussing faults and miscues that the new games has that the old one doesn't, instead of playing and re-learning, nothing really gets accomplished.. except for around and around the maypole til we all fall down...

oh and 8. someone needs to realize that I have NO, NONE, NADA vested interests beyond a free copy of the game for beta testing scenarios.
