Counter Strike Source Update Soon

13 Aug, 2006, 12:00 pm IST | by Avinash Bali | Home Theatre Systems

Call it old, call it lame or call it totally passé; there's no denying Counter Strike's unparalleled popularity, in India. Today it's a different scenario, since a lot of people have moved onto DOTA (a mod for Warcraft), but there was a time when you could walk into a cyber café and watch nothing but CS running on every PC in there. This may come as good news to those fanatics -
Soon, we'll be releasing the first in a series of updates to Counter-Strike: Source which will be focused on moving the core Counter-Strike gameplay forward. The first update will include an updated version of the map Train, which will feature an HDR lighting pass, some minor layout changes, and a number of small bugfixes. The second facet of this release will be a completely reworked radar system. There will be a significant change to the aesthetics of the radar, but there are also some fairly significant gameplay ramifications to the new system. One example: when you look directly at an enemy for a long enough time for their name to appear on your screen, everyone on your team will be able to see that enemy in the radar. We're planning on releasing this first update in about two weeks.
Revamping the aesthetics of the radar doesn't seem too significant to me; introduce deathmatches and then we'll talk. Either way, if this has managed to bring a smile to your face, head here for more. cs.jpg
