A new ban on "Killer Games" in various towns in Germany has begun forcing many lan centers to cancel tournaments and events featuring violent video games, specifically Counter-Strike. The ban was enacted in an attempt to curb increased school violence in Germany, and enforcement of the ban falls to the discretion of individual local governments.
The new law has already led to the cancellation of several ESL Friday Night games, and more recently a Convention-X-Treme tournament. While the ban remains at a local government, many have begun speculating that a nation-wide ban could be in the works and passed by the federal government in the coming months. A similar law was enacted in Brazil last year, which led to the closing of several defiant lan centers. For more information on this story, checkout GotFrag's complete story.
Over the past week, many gamers have publicly spoken out against the recent Counter-Strike 1.6 update and the effects it has had on the competitive gaming world. The patch, which aimed to fix silent crouch hopping (aka Russian Walking Exploit in the release), has resulted in giving a jumping sound to any in-game jump movement. While this may seem like a minor change, in the world of competitive gaming, the effects have forced many players to drastically alter their game play. Even despite that many players had considered silent crouch hopping a bug that needed to be fixed, the unintended results of the patch have led many to demand a rollback patch from Valve to remedy the situation.
GotFrag recently took the opportunity to sit down with several professional players and managers to get their reactions to the update. Here's a snippet below from Alex Garfield, Team EG Owner/Manager, and for more player reactions, checkout the Complete Article Here.
