CS:Source release TONIGHT!! 7pm
 

For those with Steam, you'll also be able to buy the package of your choice for Halflife2 (Bronze, Silver, or Gold) obviously.. I'm going for the silver ;)
The package details are on the Steam news page.

Re: CS:Source release TONIGHT!! 7pm
 

I'll be going for gold :)

Re: CS:Source release TONIGHT!! 7pm
 

I have the bronze as I got the ATI voucher but will pay the extra $10 and get the silver. Should be around 7pm tonight as it is supposed to be around 11am est state side. I been playin the beta and it rocks.

Re: CS:Source release TONIGHT!! 7pm
 

Ill be going for Bronze, the Silver and Gold seem too extortionate!

Re: CS:Source release TONIGHT!! 7pm
 

Actually I'll go for the silver one, don't need posters and that.

Re: CS:Source release TONIGHT!! 7pm
 

There up! If you have Steam running restart it then it will show up in your games list!

Games browser is having problems though, overload by the looks of it.

Bronze: $50
Silver: $60
Gold: $90

Currently installing Source Dedicated Server onto my Community's Dedicated Server, see how it runs.

Re: CS:Source release TONIGHT!! 7pm
 

So far so good, de_aztec looks pretty nice.
Even better after installing my new 6800, which runs it perfectly at 1280x1024 with all the detail high.

Re: CS:Source release TONIGHT!! 7pm
 

as much as i liked cs the new version reminds me a mix of 2 games
1. tac ops on the ut 99 engine but this game actually has recoil.
2. Farcry - woopey do i can shoot barrels down a hill.

while i was aware it was just going to be CS with some map tweaks and pretties i am disapointed and would prefer the current CS version..

Re: CS:Source release TONIGHT!! 7pm
 

de_office is great fun. you can actually blast the PCs in the office into many pieces like the HDD cpu and mobo and case talk about attention to detail.:D

Re: CS:Source release TONIGHT!! 7pm
 

They tried to make the engine as realistic as possible this time, looks like they did that.

In the HL1 engine parts did blow out of PC's if it was put into the map, but the texture on it was cr*p :erm:

Re: CS:Source release TONIGHT!! 7pm
 

How much does it cost you? The prices are in $

Re: CS:Source release TONIGHT!! 7pm
 

http://www.x-rates.com/calculator.html

Bronze package is £27, Silver £33 and Gold £49

Re: CS:Source release TONIGHT!! 7pm
 

Do we have a retail release date yet?

Re: CS:Source release TONIGHT!! 7pm
 

A lot of sites have got the date of 26/11 for the retail HL2 packages.

Re: CS:Source release TONIGHT!! 7pm
 

Not quite - there is an extra $10 tax for the UK. :mad:

Re: CS:Source release TONIGHT!! 7pm
 

u pay tax on top of that .. and shipping for gold - i think gold costs about $135

Re: CS:Source release TONIGHT!! 7pm
 

Silver people also get Half-Life and CS:CZ if they don't have it yet. That means I'll have CS:CZ aswell as all the other Source stuff when I buy the Silver package. Worked out about £35.60 aswell.

Re: CS:Source release TONIGHT!! 7pm
 

Silver also gives you Half-Life:Source and DoD:Source when available. That is the original games on the new engine.
Wonder if the retail pack will give you these as well or if I should buy online for $70.

edit: although thats pretty much what you said. fool.

edit: sod it. bought it

Re: CS:Source release TONIGHT!! 7pm
 

so....i thought we were able to play with bots...

any ideas?

Re: CS:Source release TONIGHT!! 7pm
 

not that I am aware of.... maybe it will appear in an official or unofficial patch

Re: CS:Source release TONIGHT!! 7pm
 

I found a comment on a not-exactly-legal release

"Also VALVe forgot to enable the bots.. so uhm we enabled them so you can play with bots if you want, but you will need console commands to add them."

So hmmm....

investigation begins

Re: CS:Source release TONIGHT!! 7pm
 

Bring the console down, type bot, press tab.

As for the actual game, I find it very disappointing even more so now that I realise that there is no multiplayer for halflife other than rehashed titles using a new engine.

Re: CS:Source release TONIGHT!! 7pm
 

There's some screenshots here:
http://www.gameconnect.info/modules....album=10&pos=5

Please tell me, are these for real?
I mean, blocky and blurry low-res textures? It looks the same as the old version, i.e. crap. :confused:

Re: CS:Source release TONIGHT!! 7pm
 

I've heard theres only 2 player models available on CS Source. One on counter and one on terrorists.

Re: CS:Source release TONIGHT!! 7pm
 

*makes a buzzer sound*
The graphics are scalable to meet your graphics card's ability, the textures on my Radeon 9600XT are NO WAY blocky and no way Low Res. The graphics and physics are now absolutely spectacular, you need to play it for yourself!

Re: CS:Source release TONIGHT!! 7pm
 

I took a couple of screenies for you - what you have to understand here is that this is with everything up to the max 6x AA and 16 x AF @ 1280x1024.

And its nowhere near blocky - or as good as doom 3 mind - but - its waaaaaay smoother >60 FPS for me on these maps with those settings.

Re: CS:Source release TONIGHT!! 7pm
 

Sorry but I still think it looks rubbish..gimme a sec and I'll show you some nice graphics. :D

Re: CS:Source release TONIGHT!! 7pm
 

Its an oppinion which you are entitled to, but when youve been playing CS (a game which i very much enjoy) on a 6 year old engine and get to play it on a Beautiful updated graphics engine with excellent physics it's definitely a breath of fresh air.

Re: CS:Source release TONIGHT!! 7pm
 

I think the graphics look awsome, I won't be able to handle that much though. I will be stuck in "medium" detail more than likely :(

Re: CS:Source release TONIGHT!! 7pm
 

Aah forget it, I was trying to take some rather nice screenshots of Far Cry at 1600x1200, 4xAA, 8xAF but the "Take Screenshot" key appears to be doing sod all. :grind:

Re: CS:Source release TONIGHT!! 7pm
 

Why not use the print screen on the keyboard?

Re: CS:Source release TONIGHT!! 7pm
 

The fact is - that at 1280 x 1024 with 6 X AA and 16 x AF, Far Cry would run like crap.

For a game which requires split second timing and a smoooth engine that dosent jerk at every move at those settings then you need something like Unreal Engine or the Source Engine.

Far Cry does have excellent GFX, as does doom, but i prefer gameplay to graphics any day.

Besides the source engine is sold on the fact its a physics engine as opposed to a graphics engine.

The graphics are good in CS:SOurce - there just not groundbreaking.

Blueraja has it! :D
