CS & TeamSpeak ? Cheating?

[Deneb]

Hi,

I'm new in CS & TeamSpeak world.

I'm part of a team and have discovered this great soft.
We never did a war but plan to do it soon.

Is this tools considered as a cheat?
If yes, we don't want to use it.

Because it is not in the CS Spirit to be able to see where are located the others players when you are dead in order to help your team.......

Thanks for your feedback.
Deneb.

Hi Deneb.
No cheat.
1. There is already a voicecomm integrated into hl / cs. Which is inferior to cs btw. :)
2. There are server side settings in cs that prevent you from communicating enemy positions by using free floating mode when you are dead. When active these settings only let you view your team mates or even give you a black screen (when you are "dead").
Hope that helps.

do u happen to know what that command is?

[cinnober]

if u use Rcon the command is :
mp_forcechasecam 0 for letting u shift between all players and:
mp_forcechasecam 1 for shifting only by your teammates.

mp_forcecamera 2
mp_forcechasecam 2

This forces 1st personview on your own team only (when dead).. With the 1 setting you still might be able to give info what is behind your teammates..

I'd say: it depends on the rules of the league you're playing in...

if you play on public servers you should tell other players that you're using TS, because they might think that you're a wallhacker :p

put it this way. CS is a war simulation correct? Well its pretty up to date with war tactics and i want to know when soldiers these days stopped talking to each other (walkey talkeys)

Dead soldiers don't talk.. ;)

I don't think this can be considered a cheat.

Some teams play with all member in the same room, so they dont need TS to be 'dead speakers' ;)

All serious CS server should use fade to black and mp_forcechasecam 1 settings, so all you can say is where u died and how many enemys you saw. If you are an experienced player u probably notified your team about that before u died.

In my opinion TS is a must have for CS teams, because it has a sound quality that HL can't suply.

Anyway league organizers should study this issue more carfully.

Yea hmmm, I dunno. Seems you can still give info to your teamies.

CS - sheesh until the aimbots and other uberhumans are gone ...
