Counter-Strike Source Beta Set for Late Summer

Posted by simoniker on from the dust2-em-up dept.

fistfullast33l writes "Valve has announced via Steam that a Beta version will be launched for Counter-Strike: Source, the multiplayer counter-terrorism mod that will now be updated for release with the Half-Life 2 powering Source engine. It is expected to be kicked off around late summer. Apparently: 'The beta will first be open to subscribers of the Valve Cyber Café Program, and then extended to owners of Counter-Strike: Condition Zero.' Seems like a good time to find out where the nearest gaming parlor is." This move is interesting in light of allegations of Valve bullying cybercafes - we also recently covered the South Korean unveiling of Counter-Strike: Source over at Slashdot Games.

    I'm sure I'm not going to be the first to mention, but I felt a sudden surge of excitment when I read 'Counter Strike Source'... bah, why must Valve name their engine after what every geek loves?

      Coming soon, Half-Life with Team Fortress Heather Brooke mod. I can head the tagline already "You DON'T want to be on the losing end of a deathmatch in THIS game."

    I think that the steam engine is horribly flawed

    As I recall, the internal combustion engine will come along in a few years and replace it anyway, so don't worry too much.
