Ladder-Climbing Exploit Closed Alongside a Halftime Crash Fix

A movement fix closes an exploit that let players silently climb ladders at run speed by tapping movement keys. The update also fixes a crash at halftime when switching from CT to T, plus knife-attack transition animations and Elites not firing in third-person. Viewmodel animations, weapon deploy logic, and ground smoothing at slope transitions were adjusted, and held grenades no longer inherit incorrect scale after being dropped and picked up.
