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.

    pfft, who cares.

    I'm a geek so that means I don't run Windows. And I'm a real geek so that means I dont rely on Wine either.

    ID Software has a Quake3 port available for Windows, linux, and Mac OSX. And Urban Terror works with them all.

    If your really a geek and want to engage in some violent first person combat look no further than Quake3 and Urban Terror.

    Yeah, I know, shameless plug for one of my favorite games in somebody elses game thread, sue me. :P
