    Hidden Path Studios, in collaboration with Valve, have just updated Counter-Strike: Source with a slew of new features and functions. 144 new achievements, a new 'domination and revenge' system and player stats are just some of the updates made...

    Unfortunately for anyone getting excited about this news, the update is only in beta right now, and there no available beta slots available. Stay tuned for the release, which is right around the corner. We'll be sure to get a GU server up and running when it comes out of beta.

      It's on the OrangeBox engine like TF2 - it has MultiCPU/Core support.

      Competitive CS:S players rejoice, for your prayers have been answered. That's right, interpolate is now a thing of the past. No more will you be killed by someone you cannot see thanks to the retarded engine bug that was peekers advantage.

      Very nice indeed. Good marketing strategy to get mac owners to buy the game

      Playing Counter-Strike without having to scream "bullshit" every other moment. It sounds too good to be true.

      From OD's article...

      Now I'm not technicaly astute when it comes to coding - I struggle coding a 32 team elimination bracket let alone a game - but to me the hitreg in the game feels a lot better than it did before, I've been playing the game for a few hours now and not once have I questioned why there's blood on the T's head but I haven't hit him, not once have I screamed in frustration at the fact I've not hit someone after tapping on his head 6 times. It really does feel like the game has been fixed, now I don't want to say that it's perfect, but to me it feels like a massive improvement to what we are used to and a huge step towards being a consistent game.

      As soon as this game goes live, we'll have a passworded GU server up to play on. The password will be publicly available on GU (just want to stop strays as we have to pay for bandwidth now).
