because the hostages are retarded

why NOT add this?

>>181981905 (OP)
I like it. It makes it more of a team effort rather than the classic style of bomb defusal needing teamwork and hostage rescue just being glorified deathmatch.

Sounds kinda fun but this really should be a separate mode from regular hostage rescue.

as if people even bothered playing hostage rescue maps before, lol valve

>>181982851
I think they just get a point per hostage, I don't think the round would end. Only one way to find out, though.

Hostage maps have always just been for pubs, the round only comes down to the hostages being rescued if its a shitty 1v1 and both people are tryhards.

I guess it's like "Pick the hostage! Good, another hostage has been found!"

Sounds retarded, but only one way to find out how hostage maps works now.

Tf2 is shit

L4d was okay but the second was a shit cashgrab

They are terrible, leave your drone at the door

This might actually make hostage maps more interesting.

Hostage maps don't get played in events/tournaments anyway so its just an addition for fun, really. I don't see the problem with it.

The shortened round timer (that has to be increased by rescuing hostages) means you will actually have to try or it is just easy wins for T's. It will probably take a while for people to figure this new mode out.

are there zombie chase maps for CS:GO yet

>>181984279
Check the steam forums (or leddit possibly), the new update has text strings for an item shop and a backpack system
The only item found so far in those though is a season ticket to play selected custom maps in competitive mode, and some of the money goes back to the mappers
I don't have an exact link but I'm sure someone has one too
Nothing exact for f2p, but big signs...

>>181984691
Haven't played GO in months; is the 1.6 version or the CSS version?

I'm guessing your run speed is lowered when you're carrying a hostage?

So now for all we know the hostages could just spawn at the closest possible point to the CTs, and one good player with an AWP could just get in there and wipe everyone before one person rescues a hostage and wins the game.

But planes/drones fit the setting. Pink hats wouldn't. I am not talking about realistic gameplay mechanics, I am talking about the gear soldiers use.

These changes don't really matter in the end, CS maps are just for pubs and no one ever cares about the hostages anyway, not to mention people always just shoot 3 of them.

If they added hats/skins they would completely fuck the game over though, you actually need skin/model/silhouette recognition in CS and faggotry would screw that up.

At one point you couldn't 1shot with it though. That's the thing.

>>181987684
No, we're talking about the update here. All the hostages can be alive but you can still win the round by saving only one.

From the T's point of view, the Hostage is being carried by the CT like any other weapon; you can't see it.

This update changed it, you now win once just one is saved.

>>181987765
I just reread it. Wow, that's some stupid bullshit.
I'll still stick to blasting hostages before they reach the finish line though.

>>181987627
I play it on Xbox 360. It doesn't have all the stupid updates that PC gets, kind of like what ruined TF2. So if you want to play it on consoles, it's pretty fun.

THAT'S HOW IT -probably- WORKS

>ROUND 1
>00:30 TO RESCUE 1 HOSTAGE
>HOSTAGE RESCUED, CTS WIN
>ROUND 2
>1:00 TO RESCUE 2 HOSTAGES

And it keeps going on until it hits the maximum number of hostages or the terrorists kill all the CTs. I hope it's like this.

>>181987938
Valve needs to start working on Source 2.

>>181986117
I'm going to go out on a limb and assume that "random" spots on all maps are all still deep on the T side of maps, just in random spots.

Done correctly this makes hostage maps actually engaging as opposed to run and gun clusterfucks.

Yeah, and when the CT dies carrying them, they reappear on the spot.

So how does carrying work?

Are you physically carrying them?

>>181988293
While 3 of those are valid, when was the minimap being opaque ever useful? I can't think of a situation where you would need to look through the minimap to spot someone.

>>181988293
you can change the crosshair
you can get a different gun
you can change the opacity of the minimap

>>181988293
You can change the crosshair to the old one.

This update balances out the gameplay so it’s not such a cakewalk for the Terrorist team anymore. The tweaks should add some new challenges for both sides and provide a more engaging and competitive experience for everybody.

How? Well, for starters, there are only two hostages now. (They’re not hiding out where they used to be, either, so check your radar.) Another tweak: CTs now only have to bring one of the two hostages to the Rescue Zone to win.

If you’re thinking to yourself, “Hold on, now it sounds too easy for the CTs,” we completely agree: So to even it back up a little, you’ll have to untie your hostage first and carry the lazy bum the whole way to safety. Also, apparently the terrorists were feeding these guys nonstop, because there’s the additional challenge that carrying a hostage is going to slow you down a bit. You’ll need to strategize and protect if your CT team wants to get a hostage to the Rescue Zone unscathed. And remember: hostages can’t get hurt in a firefight, but stray bullets that hit a hostage will cost you.

If you’re thinking to yourself, “Wait, now it sounds too hard for the CTs again,” whoa, hold on. You didn’t let us finish. Picking up a hostage will earn you extra time on the clock. And for you CTs out there who don’t like getting shot at while fumbling with knots, buying a Rescue Kit will reduce the time it takes to untie a hostage.

>>181988340
If I wasn't aware of this particular detail, I would have shit my pants the next time I killed a hostage-carrier.

Then just murder the hostages if a CT gets their hands on any of them.

>>181988460

its a joke based on the gun model being super fat where all 1.6/source guns were really thin and chisled.

minimap being solid is better and easier to see. plus in 1.6 it doesn't disappear when you get flashed.

>>181988556
There are more than two hostages. In the militia map, anyway.

>Before

Holy shit it's possible to win as CT!

If you're complaining, you're a retard. This update is good. Do I still want silencers for M4 and P2K? Yes. Do I still want 128 tick servers? Yes. Do I still want _se maps? Yes. However, this map made cs_ maps actually bearable. Stop crying.

I actually like most of the changes in this update, but the map rework really bugs me.
>Removed the tree, being the only cover you get in the murder ally.
>Removed the cliff, begging the question why you aren't just on the other side of that tiny fence when doing down the murder ally and making the map just look uglier as you now see an obvious looping grass texture.
>Most of the other content is completely unchanged, making this map almost a direct port rather than a visual upgrade.
>It's now summer, not fall.
>Fog and really weird skybox coloring

Either port it directly or redo the map, don't stop half way.

Luckily the game isn't in 3rd person.

It does change the gameplay though
you don't see trails of hostages followign the CTs and know where they are anymore, and you can't shoot them as a desperation move to stop a hostage victory.

I'm a little skeptical but to be honest hostage mode did NEED a change--you could win every round as T if you were shameless enough to kill all the hostages and then just hide so you didn't die. You didn't have money but hey, you won. There's nothing that CT can do to stop that.

>>181988924
No, there are more than two.

Look at >>181986446
You can easily see at least three in the main building.

>>181988872
"The ground at the bottom of this cliff I just jumped off is too soft! It should also be sharper!"

It looks fine.
Something that people haven't pointed out yet is that although hostages don't die when you get shot while carrying them, the person who is carrying them gets their money REAMED. This means you won't be going commando while you are slinging one unless you like being broke as fuck all the time.

You only lose money if you are getting fucking SHOT while you are carrying one.

So you might, you know, have to actually use teamwork, strategy and cover? Actually have some sort of a plan?
