New update improves Tec9

18-9-2014 05:35

Valve has just released a small update for CS:GO that improves the Tec9 semi-automatic pistol.

Last night's update has considerably boosted the Tec9, as the semi-auto pistol's accuracy has been increased, while the weapon's recoil has been reduced.

Valve has also worked on fixing some issues with OSX and made a couple of changes to de_inferno, including adding a boiler to the area that was already known as boiler.

Below you can find the complete patch notes:

[GAMEPLAY]

Tec9: Improved accuracy and reduced recoil.

[MISC]

Added new spawn entities that can be placed in maps and are used and prioritized when playing arms race (info_armsrace_counterterrorist & info_armsrace_terrorist).
Fixed only one non-primary weapon showing on spectator player panels.
Improved performance as a spectator when the scoreboard was visible.

[OSX]

Improved dynamic shadow support.
Better detection of hardware capabilities to improve performance.
Added multi-threaded rendering support.

[MAPS]

Inferno

Added a boiler to boiler
Fixed a missing texture near Bombsite B

in b4 CZ is still used over tec9

LOL that don't count though TEC9 OP! and esp when you consider pro play, none of them dare ever touch it. At most you'd see tec9 viable against silver players

good one. I've done multiple 1v4 even 1v5 with the tec9 and I use it really often. and guess what, i'm not playing against silvers - in fact i just deranked from being global. heres a clip with the really OLD tec9 before they tried to buff it and made it broken, when it was considered total garbage: youtube.com/watch?v=_1kJxtyP_vc and heres 2 other with the last one being vs hackers :< youtube.com/watch?v=Smr1w1CtWt0 youtube.com/watch?v=py0N9tJcV8A

2014-09-18 12:31

snax uses it.

2014-09-18 12:33

Seized and sometimes even Zeus uses it from Na'Vi. Besides, tec9 is good in pistol rounds, though I would prefer glock and armor / nades. Tec9 is also good for eco rounds sometimes, if you have to spray from a longer distance. The only reason why people prefer the cz, is because you can easily rush a guy and get his weapon, if you get the prefire on him.

2014-09-18 14:44

chrisj uses it someitmes.

2014-09-19 02:29

Seized used tec 9 in sltv

2014-09-18 14:20

That was the best mistype in the history of CS. nevar forgat.

3 replies

But it's impossible to say this won't make the tec9 more useful and it'll be seen at least a bit - and the tec9 is still pretty strong. Just a bit slower than the CZ, but arguably more effective outside of SWAG-7 range

2014-09-18 07:00

I'm using T9 instead of CZ, because of the 1taps, and i can spray through smokes or around the corners. And i personally enjoy tec9 instead of cz.

2014-09-18 11:43

it's barely a fully-auto p250. you got your nerf, now play nicely.

2014-09-18 16:38

Boiler 0.o

2014-09-18 06:22

Well, it´s nice that they put some effort in making the game better but, it´s still to much focus on the pistol updates. I mean, it sure must be more than pistols to look into right? (Yeah I can see the other small updates aswell) It is still some step-bugs that appears random and that is taking to long to fix. Otherwise, the game has approved in many ways.

2014-09-18 06:26

soooo what do you guys think about tec9? still useless? :D

2014-09-18 06:39

So yeah, yesterday I decided to give a try my tec9, it's recoil is so random but you can one shot on the longer distance compared to 57 anc CZ. And boom, patch today but tbh I don't see big difference.

You paid for matchmaking when you paid for the game. It is a feature, in the game, that you paid for. Do you not understand? I never said it was broken, that was the other guy. I simply described how retarded you sound when you say that there are other alternatives to something you've paid for, so it's ok that it's broken.

2014-09-18 16:57

2 replies

I don't think it would be an easy fix. The directional sounds are completely screwed up, anyone who has ever played nuke probably knows what I mean. And it's not just the directional sounds, but also the sounds themselves. They are so goddamn ear piercing that I prefer playing on low volumes and dying a few times more on average in games, than playing on normal volume and having my ears bleed. It's funny how everything was just fine in source and 1.6, but it's all messed up in CS:GO and almost no one even seems to care anymore, because valve wont fix anything

2014-09-18 17:34

1 reply

I agree wholeheartedly. (Well, except for the sounds, I think they're ok personally.) You have to use your eyes to know if they're on A or B on Nuke. In Source you could pinpoint enemy locations by sound and it would not take long to find out if they're underneath you or on the same level. I don't get how a game that came 8 years earlier on the same engine can have a much better directional sound system.
