kz_underblock wow! - one of the biggest and nicest maps since some time! great job! kz_hop don't like bhopmaps - it's the normal version of kz_hopez I guess ;) the new cfl-maps great maps as well! kz_cliffez didn't tried until now.. btw, one of the nicest releases for a while - big'n'nice maps. all with good framerates (I hope radon will keep that in mind for future releases..)

It is the map kz_ea_parkblock. But maybe it's my fault (and if, it would be unexcusable, because I LOVE the maps of radon). But I got really low fps on it (I think it's the part of trees in the middle).

best map for sure is kz_cfl_ceramicblock! kz_cliffez is very cool too, a very easy map with allot of bhops :) that's what people most like i see ;) kz_cfl_jost is a VERY big map, and there is allot of hard jumps to discover! there will be some time before we'll see a record i think ;) kz_hop: nice to see the hard version of kz_hopez! and the rambo map xD i enjoyed playig that! because there is allot of unseen jumps and funny stuff, this is fun! kz_underblock cool map and very big too. pl2003: the trees in the middels is the reason for low fps. but its only down to 70 with a bad computer! and u dont have to look that way while jumping xD and i didt want to move the trees because it looks very empty if there no stuff in the middel imo. Exodus = great mapper looking forward to more of you :P hf

@liKo andy made a version with more spawnpoints! ask him or contact me on zefix.org to get it. @radon yep, my pc is veeery slow (mx2 ultra), but for most of the cs/kz maps it's ok (100fps). and yes, the map is still playable for me, even if the fps got down to 40 on some parts ;). but dont mind, it's still a great map, even for me! keep on with your fantastic work! pl2003/guen

That's so true, he had so much patience and dedication when climbing, i used to watch him all the time. Alma ftw. Are u guys still playing?

Its a huge downgrade from 1.6, but its also a whole different game [img]http://i.imgur.com/YUnypLg.jpg[/img]

Let me correct you: 1.6 KZ * We dont compare cs 1.6 the game with CS:GO the game here..but the kz parts of them...which csgo kz is only and just 1.6 axn :)

13/09/2015 12:31:00

Depending what tick rate you play,, 128 is like 1.6axn but 64 is more like 1.6 standard movements..

13/09/2015 12:48:00

It's a downgrade in the sense that there isn't as many techniques you need to learn and master in order to be some what decent at the game. IE you don't need to know how to long jump, count jump. Which leads to even less techniques that are useful to know and be good at (drop cj) stuff like that. The only thing you need to learn in my opinion is bhopping. From there CS:GO-kz is easy. Not to mention the maps are ports which means they are "small" in comparison to the gorilla sized models they have in CS:GO. But it looks better so "UPGRADE" and "BETTER GAME" WOOOOOOOO! /sarcasm

I can guarantee that if the CSGO kz became a thing in XJ, along with tournaments that offer skins as prices we would see a [b]MASSIVE[/b] increase in the activity, among with newcomers flodding the scene. Not enough if that, but if it was advertisted in [link=https://www.reddit.com/r/GlobalOffensive/]/r/globaloffensive[/link] it would explode. People in reddit communities are very keen on innovation on their favorite game, something kz is. And they love skins (like the rest of the community) Just something to think about. Ps: Why even give the opportunity for the trolls to vote for the "downgrade" option?

13/09/2015 14:28:00

In my opinion it's an all-new game but also a small downgrade from 1.6/kzmod in terms of climbing. CS:GO movement doesn't give you the feeling of accuracy and precision compared to 1.6 movement. Also it's missing some of the jumping techniques that make 1.6 movement the best there is for versatile kreedzing. CS:GO kz might be fun and more fast-paced than 1.6 kz as CS:GO kreedzers often say, but as there're limitations in movement, it isn't 100% suitable for kreedzing. But after all it's mostly a whole new ballgame. If there're people willing to make XJ the place to be in CS:GO kreedzing and help with the huge workload, why not? It could bring more people into KZmod as well, which is imo superior in terms of kreedzing, yet different from CS:GO kz.

I voted for all-new game but still think thats lil bit downgrade from cs 1.6 Even tho i dont like it i still believe that it has to be introduced because this will be the best for this community and kreedz overall. I think that everyone of us should think about how to keep kreedz and even make it more popular than just putting limitations of ourselves. I hope that one day it will be about more games and not just cs;go, kzmod and cs 1.6 :)

stick in xj. this is increase activity

I think it's different, but also a dumbed down version of 1.6 kz, but it's not all that bad to try something new. Nevertheless, because of the activity increase it would bring, it should be implemented.

kz in csgo doesn't have the "thing" unlike 1.6 but getting it into xj would be a good thing in a sense that it would bring people on the site and would make kzmod more popular

different physics means its A new game for me, plus without Double-Ducking (crouch), and Stand-up jumps made me dislike it.

An all-new (different) game and maybe An evolutionary step of 1.6 KZ, we'll see how it goes. Let the natural selection chooses any of kzmod or cs:go. Either way implementing cs:go is a Must. A bigger community,a better community - potential players, mappers, movie makers, donators. As the results show so far the majority of kreedz players are still into cs 1.6. (which i believe is mostly from East European countries and Russia). Guess what - new people wont come into 1.6, even worse - their numbers will decrease. So yeah, the activity of 1.6 now is high/moderate? which speaks itself how great game that is. But it wont last forever. P.S: Born with cs 1.6 and still play it hardcore :) , never played cs:go

In my humble opinion CSGO KZ is an obvious downgrade from 1.6 KZ in the sense that it's much less diverse and is full of low quality maps. Things like doubleducks, standup bhops or countjumps don't even exist in CSGO, and the game has very little new to offer in return. Most maps have been ported from either KZMod or CS:S with little effort, and the ones that have been made specifically for CSGO are most often really crude. The fact that the default settings for CSGO apparently don't work well enough to make for interesting gameplay in KZ, the servers have adopted all kinds of different settings, tickrates and plugins. This makes for a very fragmented community, and it's hard to figure out who's better than the other. To me this means that there's only space for casual KZ players on the side of CSGO since you can't compete meaningfully. CS 1.6 and the scene around it just does everything better. There are communities that do a stellar job in maintaining the scene by making world record and map releases, holding tournaments and cups etc. Specifically I want to point out that XJ moderating the amount and quality of official maps is a big reason why this scene is as fruitful as it is. The mappers have put incredibly many hours into making quality maps and in turn KZ players make awesome records on them. If memory serves, KZMod maps are amazing as well. CSGO has no equivalent of this. It's a cesspool of crap maps. Most of the maps have horrible design and are made with little effort. Of course there are some stellar maps, but most maps inevitably turn out to be terrible because there's no one to police map quality, like XJ has done for years in CS 1.6. Since for the last year I've mainly been playing the competitive mode in CSGO, I've had the chance to play KZ in CSGO numerous times and I admit that I've enjoyed it. Compared to CS 1.6, however, I think it's a clear downgrade. Perhaps the CSGO KZ scene will unite and improve, but for now I much prefer CS 1.6 KZ.

A lot of people have pointed out how the lack of techniques in CSGO makes it a downgrade, but I want to bring up my biggest issue with it which is that the community plays on non standard settings. The whole point of kz on 1.6 was that you were on stock settings. No 100 AA or anything like that in standard KZ. In CSGO each server has different settings, many maps can't be completed without specific non standard settings. Hell even 64/128Tick affects the jumping in significant ways. (Which is why KZMod locks the tickrate) That being said I have fun playing it, trying out the different maps, It's different, and fun but a pretty clear downgrade.

I mean seriously, what's even the point of this poll? you (xj management) would be idiots to not integrate csgo kz here because you'd be losing out on a lot of traffic, so even if everyone voted "downgrade" it shouldn't mean anything.

Thank you guys for the votes and comments. It helps a lot. Very nice feedback! @sooshka 1)It was confirmed some time ago that CSGO KZ will be implemented into XJ. There's no secret about that anymore. 2)The sole purpose of this poll (and previous) (as well as an upcoming newspost) was to make us better understand and eventually decide the approach we will be using to implement the game into XJ. XJ wants to unite and simplify CSGO KZ, because like you guys pointed out, the game is being played under many various forms and ways. This only creates confusion and makes out of CSGO KZ scene a disrupted one. There is a lot of work to make this happen and there is even more to make it work. Thanks again for your time. See you soon with other news on the subject!

The nice thing, just to add something you may not have thought about, is that if it becoimes huge, KZmod, since we have full control over the code, can offer you the CS:GO movement style as well if it becomes a desireable addition to the game. It is already half in the mod if you turn on bhop and surf mode and then go jumping....youll notice its very similar to CS:GO. Playing CS:GO however kinda ruins your skills in 1.6/KZmod though like everyone used to complain about back pre KZmod1.0 with our movement being so different. I still say bring it on because options are king....if theres more way to play then its all good fun...play what you want ya know :D

Been playing CS GO KZ for a couple of months, you could say it's a downgrade from CS 1.6 if it matters to you, but in reality it's just a different game.

i dont wanna hate or anything but.. yes csgo kz is fine if you are newcommer but for the experienced players who are used to make like sbj/cj/dcj/aftercj etc. stuff on maps and fancy things - its just pure bs,all you can do in csgo kz is bhop large spaces and jump large spaces and slide thats it for my experience,its kinda cool because it is something new but yes it is a downgrade of 1.6 KZ,but yet again its the 1.6 engine allowing all these techniques and its valve's fault for the csgo engine not being able to do ducks properly (they want to make it realistic as fuk but its a fuking game,if i wanted to duck and be realistic i'd just go outside and start ducking,even in irl bhoping and ducks are kidna possible lolol) :D sry for spam

the only thing i can agree that is better than 1.6 is that you can make wrs and stuff on public servers,no lan,no demos,no bs,just records,i dont know how you gonna integrate that system to 1.6 kz where LAN recording is the thing,and csgokz public is the main 'recording' way. for me 1.6 kz and csgo kz are 2 absolutely different things where csgo (a new game) is trying to get closer to 1.6 for what reason? better graphics? if its for that reason xj has to offer nice maps,the thing that can make impact on XJ activity is making every map have like TOP5 demos and not a single wr like now,this will encourage people to compete with the other 4 TOP players per map and not only go for WRs.ATM all that people can do in 1.6 are WRs (cosy and XJ - no alternatives like we used to have KZ-Extreme and cypress-climbing) and communities for different countries which are mainly wr runs too.Imagine having only Olympic Games and World Cups (football),and things like EURO cup,UEFA champions league and other leagues dissapear,you have no other options than just either beat your PB or beat the WR,and that is just plain stupid... how do you like activity when there are clearly LIMITATIONS to what people can do?You give them more options to record - they will record more - simple as that.TOP5 on every map = 4 more players per map,in other words 4x players every month.Think about it,its not only about 'recruiting admins' 'rotw makers' and 'demo checkers' if there is no need to.Atm there are very few people that record for XJ,and if you hop up to the COSY site you can see even 2 releases per week going up to 40 dems per release.Activity there is on another level because there is HUGE map diversity.In the end its about the jumps and competition and not just accepting the beautiful maps because i can 100% assure you when you start to play a map your first impression is "hmm nice looking maps" and then you go play it and completely ignore the looks of the maps.I know some maps are ugly as hell but don't just ignore the ones that have so nice jumps and people love them.More maps + TOP5 per map = Insane amount of players.Thje other thing that should be considered is either merging cosy and xj or making a child-site for these TOP5 jumps or infact a new community.We used to have KZextreme,cypress,smkmaps,kz-friends and all these sites about kz,now there is a BIG limitation going on. You think of me as a troll but.. just look at cosy,they accept the maps that are looking GOOD and have GOOD jumps because THEY KNOW people will play them and compete on it,if you accept maps based on the looks being scared that less prettier maps will ruin your reputation is BS dawgs!! Matter of fact the new map prochallenge_speed2 is retarded as fuck, i mean the map looks cool but what the hell? 256's all over the map,bhop jumps, now thats BS and 256 at the end? god damn,people with better lj skills will obviously take the map out and others are just gonna sit there tight and cry in the corner.No offense Kiskis(or Kicious) whoever made themap i didnn't pay much attention,but this map.. no way dude... For example,go play my map on cosy 4u_nature (i know what you gonna say, eyah yeah you promote your map,its ugly,it sucks.),just go play it,then come at me and tell me this map looks bad and jumps arent enjoyable and entertaining. There are tons of maps on cosy and they upload them to cosy because mappers know very well that cosy appreciates more the WORKS of the MAPPERS/MOVIEMAKERS than your admins/staff do.In the end of the day...its just KZ,just enjoy it rather than picking only beautiful maps with shit jumps. kz_persia, j2s_westbl0ck2 are simply amazing tho <3 Have fun reading :)
