Counter Strike Source Beta

[ECF]

Some info I just picked up off the HLDS Mailing list.

 

COUNTER-STRIKE: SOURCE UPDATE NOW IN BETA

 

Available immediately, Valve has launched an extensive update to

Counter-Strike: Source, now in beta.

 

The update includes a host of new features and functionality developed in collaboration with Hidden Path Studios. These include 144 new achievements, a new domination and revenge system, player stats, and more.

 

This beta will run for a limited time, and once complete, the update will be deployed to all Counter-Strike: Source owners for free via Steam.

 

The dedicated server files are available via the HLDSUpdateTool using "-game cssbeta" in the command line.

GAH this sucks. Been fearing this for 2 years now. About to slit my wrists :{

 

This is going to break so many mods, addons, and overall gameplay for MANY servers/server configurations. BOY OH BOY! All so I can hear 'blah blah blah dominated you' every 5 seconds, and I can earn the 'floggiest flogger flapper' achievement! Yay!!!

lol, the game sucks so much. Not worried about the mods/addons but the GAME PLAY sucks so badly. The models skate across the screen , you can't bhop.

According to Valve this is an "attempt" to fix all of the exploits currently present in CSS.

haha , you sure you didn't read that wrong? ..im almost sure it might have said an 'attempt to fail css'

 

 

haha...And I do again highly commend you for changing the face of things TCAdmin (talking v2) properly, systematically and orderly, and most importantly WITH the input of the *key* target AUDIENCE you are selling the product to. ---not like this css update.

All this is going to do is turn CS:Source into TF2

 

This is going to be just like dynamic pricing pure bust and hardcore CS players will not like this at all.

Anyone hosted some servers yet? Any changes such as CPU usage and memory, etc information ?

I agree

Yes, Expect all that to increase. The new hardware requirements are much greater than for source. More memory, more cpu time, and more bandwidth required.

 

I put a temporary server up yesterday, which held a good 15-25 people for most of the night, and the hardware load pretty much resembled TF2. Clientside demands have also increased greatly. No more CSS on my blackberry

Yep! and loads of other rediculous shit

 

And confirmed today, a majority of the exploits they say this "fixed" stll work perfectly fine. Good thing its still beta! haha

[Broseph]

Is it as bad with memory leaks as TF2 is?

[trancemode]

DaNg now it's tf2 into css :/

[SickPuppy]

I can see quite a few CSS players getting very upset
