Thanks to Valve !!

Its really cool to know that Valve has released another pack of updates to the best game of the world. These new updates will greatly improve the gameplay of CS 1.6 because most of these update are for the bugs that have been nightmares for the competititve gaming for years, which gave birth to a large number of disputes both on LAN and internet.
Though the Valve took back all its updates that were part of its recent attempt to abolish crouch walking due to huge negative response from fans around the globe. We hope Valve will come with some other way to abolish this extremely exploited part of game which will be accepted by fans too.

In the latest updates Valve has -
* Rolled back recent silent walking exploit fixes as we investigate less impactful ways of preventing the bug* Adjusted bomb bounding box to prevent silent plant exploit* Fix to eliminate or significantly reduce "flashbugs"* Fixed status icons (buy zone, bomb zone, etc) disappearing when starting a recording, or issuing a fullupdate* Prevent creating aliases using the same name as existing cvars* Rate limit fullupdate and some other commands to prevent spamming* Fixed an issue with grenades where they could go into an area and bounce infinitely, causing the server to choke and or crash

Many of these updates to 1.6 have been a long time coming, and also hopefully will have a positive impact on the competitive scene, the removal of flash bugs and silent planting will greatly reduce possible disputes in both online and LAN play, along with the reversal of the botched fix Valve implemented last month for crouch hopping should improve competitive play at all levels.Other updates such as the nade bouncing fix and the buy zone when recording fix are sure to be much appreciated and it's nice that someone at valve took the time to fix some of these old bugs, hopefully with continued support by Valve 1.6 will keep becoming a more bug free game for all of us to enjoy for many more years to come.
