First impressions
25/12/2012 03:08(edited 25/12/2012 03:39)Hey guys,
I would be really excited to read about your first impressions and also what you think about the mod after being able to play it for a few days now.
Do you think it could be or even is the possible future of KZ?
Please don't hesitate to post your opinions and views - positive and negative ones!
Best regards,

Tried it. I do not hate nor like it. Imo it will be popular, but it'll propably not take over 1.6 kz.
I really think this new mod really cool, but take it to a future kz would not be a good idea, it's kinda weird the engine is a little different, would change many things ... I prefer the traditional cs 1.6!
25/12/2012 03:20(edited 25/12/2012 03:28)It's of course a great game itself but its not good enough that ill quit 1.6 for it.
But from the few maps I've tried i gotta say that the raceway thingies were a lot of fun, same with the tag arenas when you are a few ppl jumping around :) Still i hope they'll add a version of the 1.6 hns at some point
In thruth, past few days i was playing more kzmod then 1.6, so I can say that its good enough, like'd new ideas of climbing, but still i can't see my self geeking it like it was with 1.6. How proppan said that they should make 1.6 hns version, ofc tag arena is great but boring. Engine is a little different, sbj's are kinda harder to make then in kz + lj strafes are stange for me. And I think that still people gonna play 1.6. But time will tell.Ofc good job for all who made kzmod its rly fun to play.
honestly, i'm dissapointed, i'm sure the mod will be quite popular with a select group of people but for me personally it almost seems like it was made out to be something it's not, 1.6 is still better for KZ IMO and that's why i wont be playing kzmod
the intention was good but not have conditions to play kz, the gameplay is bad but others mods was amazing but kreedz not :/

Anyway, i gave a personal feedback for Tim.

25/12/2012 05:59it was fun for 2 hours, then it became repetitive as hell, especially most climb maps.
new modes aside (didnt try them), i saw only few maps worth playing and even less worth geeking/recording. i doubt there'll be enough new mappers to change that.
engine feels really uncomfortable after years of playing 1.6. and i'm not that enthusiastic to spend weeks/months getting used to new one.
it might be good game to spend few hours from time to time, but it will never be close to 1.6 (at least without serious changes).
25/12/2012 06:18I like it but i reckon it will take longer time to be very popular, i think remaking of as many as possible of 1.6 maps would help that achiev quicker.
I would say its fun besides that the movements not as smooth as in 1.6 esp the duck (I genuely hate that in some cases..) but the fast paced maps like mix_journey autobunny section bought a lot geek feeling at least for me, in a positive way of course.
rinput needed for this one one!
25/12/2012 11:05(edited 25/12/2012 15:19)I don't know about you guys, but even with very low fps, i can feel the 1.6 touch on the game, which is an amazing work by the developers!!
I think it will be the future of kz, it's a "new" thing, and as all things people will have to get used to, in order to become better at it, just like 1.6 kz. World records...skill level...etc. And we're about to see impressive world records in the future.
As hm^ said, maybe it needs more easy maps....more maps actually, but that will be taken care of, since more people are starting to map for the mod.
I really wish i had a better PC so i could enjoy it at full.
And i do believe that the impact of the graphics and maybe sounds and maybe other environmental things affects some people's thinking and makes them believe the "gameplay" is different from 1.6...which is wrong and subjective.
i liked , the surf is a mix between surf and slide on 1.6.
The climb was normal , a bit slow strafes and moviment. The other gameplays i dndt have the chance to test at all.

I'm sorry, what?
Projump & raceways - Duude that's so addictive and fun i couldn't stop playing when i started.
Also it was really nice from admins like Raptor to be spectating people in kzmod and helping them (in the start) how to do this or that, really helpfull for new climbers :D
About the climbing i think it should really have more maps and servers should not be so much about axn because what i see is that when the map is changed from axn to climb map almost everyone quits and changes server (source noobs!), i don't know if a good solution could be having some servers for each thing because there climb may die when fun servers were full and climb ones were empty).
There are like 4 climb/bhop(normal) maps that are justttt great but i guess it's that, to find them i had to pass by "N" axn maps and ye some of them are fun but as you may already have noticed i kinda hate axn (i know...probaby is just me).
It's amazing that the game bring back oldschoolers (and a lot of them :D) and the tournament that we will have next week we be reeaaaalllyyyy worth watching :D
In conclusion for me the biggest problems are:
FPS drops - I know i could have better computer but the main problem i see in pub servers is people crying about fps drops (i know there are commands to reduce fps such has cl_drawhud 0, max_dxlevel60 etc etc) but if you could reduce the "heaviness" of fps it would be amazing
Maps - Soulfather is GOD no doubt about that, not only for the game but also for all the maps he created but i guess we really need more maps (normal climb/bhop) and we only achieve that with time when mappers from 1.6 come to kzmod
to end i just wanna say thanks to all the kzmod crew for developing this superrr game
Enjoying the shit out of it!!! Really impressive work so far. But please guys, if u see that something is wrong with the game, write it down, explain it, so that they can fix it, don't just say "gameplay is bad". For me personally, there's no point anymore playing 1.6. Now that we have CSPromod and KZMod, I can forget 1.6, except hns 4 sure :)
It's fun and I would love to play it more. Unfortunately I've got like 40-60 fps, can't even jump 240 units good.
I did not like it as much as 1.6, not even close actually, the 1.6 instinct are just telling me NO, this is not a game for me, and in my opinion it's not worth playing when you got 1.6 kreedz.
i have high stable fps and game feels running much more smooth compared to 1.6, but still cant bhop like in 1.6:/ goldbhop to do under 2mins is like 1:38 in 1.6, climbing was fine, maybe try some day to fully reinstall steam becouse much crap here..
