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

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

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

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.

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

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

any ideas?

[Stephen]

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

[Acathla]

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

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.

There's some screenshots here:

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.

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

*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!

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.

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

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.

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
